As the days go by our hard won freedoms and liberty are slowly being eroded. In Europe a crushing blow has been made to freedom of speech with a European Court of Human Rights upholding a conviction for saying that the person known as Muhammad ten centuries ago was technically a paedophile based on information in historical texts. The statement was made in reference to Muhammad's marriage to a six year old child name called Aisha. The court found that “Presenting objects of religious worship in a provocative way capable of hurting the feelings of the followers of that religion could be conceived as a malicious violation of the spirit of tolerance, which was one of the bases of a democratic society.”. In giving its ruling that "Muhammad was not a worthy subject of worship" the court has additionally demonstrated a complete misunderstanding as to the religion involved which worships "Allah", a word meaning 'God', not 'Muhammad' who claimed to be a prophet of this god. Freedom of speech is dying.

I think herein lies the fundamental problem. You are brainwashed at birth to believe the above sentences and human psychology being what it is that quickly extends to "willing to accept anyone who agrees with us. Reject our ideas and we reject you."
Least accepting people in the US, shockingly it goes with being the most racist people in the US, and more frequently the most selfish people in the US. Key word "most" which leaves room for other groups to also be shitty, not just your "tribe".
Fucking religious dinosaurs, thank god religion is on the way out demographically.

I'm just wondering how the Runaway reconciles that with Yahweh's multiple commands to put "lickbutts" to death.
I'm certain he has some way to reconcile it, such as defining "lickbutts" as unpeople.

I am certain you will recognize that homosexuality, or gluttony for that matter, were socially unwelcome habits, before the industrial reshaping of society. You will also recognize that 'the hardness of their hearts' implies some laws given by the god can become more lenient or harsher (matthew 5 again), not because the god changes idea, because the recipient has changed.
If somebody campaigned against gluttony as a sin, with eat pride and stuff (which will happen after normalizing pedophilia bestiality and polygamy I guess, the push to reshape society will not end with LGBT obviously), I would say it's not a grave sin given our circumstances, but still a sin.

Selfish people built America, son. It's like if Hitler won on the other side of the ocean, you would have ended up with an Union of European Countries. Luckily he didn't and... o shit.
