Re: Sins
Its the fact that religious conservatism is making the world a hell. No question about it
BUT, and its a big but (not butt):
Its not the religious concept or faith itself: Its the fukin people who are using it left, right and the middle to take complete advantage of.
And yes US is the biggest example of it right now. Mr. Don the Con was elected due to support of Christian conservatives and Jews conservatives and now there is a bill to revoke separation of Church from Govt. and another massive effort to make Jerasuleum Israeli capital.
Ok another example: The biggest ethnic cleansing, or may be one of the biggest in Rohingya, Maynmar is done by who? Monks who follow budha whose message was love and peace and what not. But they did what fanatics do. i.e. Ignore the “peace” part of religion when it comes to personal motive.
And guess what the most scary part is: Its not going to stop anywhere. The world is tilted towards religious extremism all around and it looks like it’ll be like that for a long time because all what history has proved that religious conservatives once get the power they act like a spider and make a web all around and we all are going to be trapped in it forever
Destruction of Iraq is not an issue as it was done by a not “baptized” president.
To liberals, Buddhism was not religion but a philosophy or something else. It became religion as soon as world saw violence from monks. Are Buddhists justifying it with religious source/text? or you can just blame religion because Buddhisms have all of sudden become an organized religion?
