@WmnRights Probably he’s not mentioning them because his case is about religion. Just a thought.

@WmnRights
He was simply pointing out that religion isn’t the infallible fountain of pure bliss, rainbows and meadow-scented gaiety that people like to pretend it is. At what point did he say that all crimes were perpetrated in the name of religion, as you evidently believe he did?

And the irreligious people had a pacifist history, alan. O please, cut the bullcrap will you? Why don’t you mention the crimes committed by the communists for instance? Or, contemporary, the so called War on Terror that carries “Democracy” as a slogan, while ironically preyed on innocents rather than terrorists!

“Yes, I know. I’ll get letters!”
Freedom of Religion is not a licence to inflict your religion on others.

@sagitarian000028 …and now texas wants to re-write history books used in schools, too, by removing founding fathers that disagreed with the church…

the first admendment is there for a good reason because the founding fathers understood that back inside europe there was the persecution of people that were not catholic and people inside england had to join the church of england the people who say that we as a nation are established as a christian one needs to read about all the founding fathers statements

Denny Crane!
Shatner’s pretty good. in the show.
Usually just good for a laugh but every now and then he takes a case and turns it around when people count him out.

@eurisko67 The reason I asked for proof, is that I generally dispute the corollary put forth that religion is a blame frame only useful for destruction. Religion has also been an effective tool for reform, an area where material humanism can be lacking. In the end, an analysis of how tyrants succeed may be more profitable than what motivated them and I thank you for highlighting this for discussion.

@eurisko67 I would hesitate to suggest that everyone believed they were doing the right thing. Neuroscience has shown that despite our desire to believe the contrary, people have an exceptionally hard time resisting authority. While I am unwilling morally to offer this as exculpation for such behaviors, the science supports that most people will do acts that signifiantly counter their judgement.

@eurisko67 Understood. Monty Python does a great skit in the Life of Brian highlighting this facet of human nature. I also agree that Hitler certainly appealed to his people, whether due to their fear of the Bolsheviks, national vision, or for personal gains, etc.
