Why can't religious people just grow up instead of throwing violent tantrums over everything they don't like?

Why can’t trans people just grow up instead of throwing violent tantrums?

Why can’t women just grow up instead of throwing violent tantrums?

Why can’t jews/muslims/insert group of your choice grow up instead of throwing violent tantrums?

See how fucking stupid you sound?

Equality means equality and we shouldn’t be selective about enforcing it. If a group of people are offended by something, grow the fuck up and stop doing it. Period.

What are you on about? Religion is a mental illness forced on children through abuse. No one is born with it. It's not a choice. Why should these violent maniacs dictate policy for normal people?

Wow dude, wow. You are the one that actually belongs in a mental asylum.

Seek help, seriously.

Why? I don't have any delusions and I don't perform ritualistic genital mutilation on infants. Please explain yourself.

[-] generalpotato@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Nah. I’m good. But go see a therapist please.

That's not even an argument, let alone a persuasive one.

Because politicians and ideologues that use religion as their tool want them to stay childlike

I partly agree but this is about personal responsibility. If someone is trying to provoke you, your reaction is entirely your decision. Someone burning your holy book didn't "make" you retaliate. You made this decision yourself and should own the consequences.

It reminds me of the rationale for requiring women in some countries to cover their faces, lest the sight of an uncovered female face "makes" the men rape the woman.
