Nobody is a zero or a one. I appreciate your advocacy but I just have a different standard, no more and no less.
I'm mostly here to advocate for his cause rather than him, but I also won't go along with narratives that serve interests that are clearly at odds with mine and his and yours alike; I made that mistake in the aughts when I was a New Atheist and thought that it was my solemn duty as a defender of truth and child brides to fight Islam with everything I had.
Islam's fine, I was wrong. RMS was wrong, on this and on other things too. I know because he's a man.
You weren't wrong about Islam, you were just too specific. All received religions needs to go.
See, to me that sounds like "all drugs need to go," and as it happens I use drugs. Religion is also a drug that people use to cope. You can't ban drugs, it doesn't work, you just need to help people consume it at non -toxic levels.
That's a fantastic idea, let's swap all the laws pertaining to drugs and received religions. I'd love to see Catholicism, Southern Baptists, Orthodox Judaism, Whabbi and Salafi Islam considered Schedule 1 Religions.
Lol I'm more into personal autonomy, myself.
Now, up here in Canada, we have some very gory pictures of cancer happening that take up like 80% of the face of the cigarette pack. I don't see why we can't have something a bit like that required in front of churches. Perhaps something from the surgeon general about what happens when you huff too much Jesus.
I'd do it in pirate speak, like a warning on catholic buildings saying 'yarr there be pedophiles around these waters, yarr!'
