adherents can compartmentalize like they do with everything else like when the young-earth freaks use a GPS or eat corn and potatoes. materialism is fundamentally incompatible with believing in unfounded supernatural claims.

it is impossible to be too hard in the international conspiracy to aid and abet child abusers. the crimes of the catholic church are truly innumerable

do you have a list of non-reactionary organized religions?

i dont remember enough for hate but i remember an unfunny annoying kid.

the whole game is incredibly mid and i didn't even bother pirating the dlc

"Islam is pro-slavery because it endorses the Torah, which teaches the proper ways of buying and selling slaves"?

i'm not familiar with specific doctrine or how the official slave trade ended in the islamic world. it is a severe criticism of all abrahamic religions that they claim what they claim about god and morality yet are compatible with slavery. this is not unique to islam and i wouldn't bother bringing it up in a discussion about contemporary expressions of patriarchy and homophboia

Something something Muslims are the real racists.

It's actually racist to deny that Muslim cultures are inherently misogynistic.

no, i mean that saying they're so wildly different from the patriarchal homophobic west that we shouldn't use terms like "patriarchy" would also be orientalist.

the progressivism of now-fallen socialist governments does not outweigh the majority of current societies. east and west are both predominantly patriarchal, largely but not exclusively because of european christian exports and imperialism

i'd have more but the application and interview process is society trying to kill me and i'm fortunate enough to have family keeping me off the street

Can you so casually dismiss every religious person who has fought, struggled and died for a just cause? Because they believed in the Abrahamic god, while you're here smugly patting yourself on the back for having the correct opinions?

there were or are religious people on the other side of all of those conflict. john brown was good because of the side he was on but venerating religious fanaticism is fucking dangerous because he could've read a different part of the book and been pro-slavery based on the literal instructions on who and how the israelites were instructed to keep slaves.

jesus never wrote anything down, the supposed gospels were written decades later and canonized centuries later. there's no basis for you or anyone else to say what version of the religion is "correct" or "authentic".

this is wildly off-topic from OP's question.

you are not the authority of "true" christianity. worshiping a genocidal entity is bad, full stop.

got a long way to go before we invalidate my "predominantly" qualifier. there are feminists who don't reject christianity for whatever reason too, it doesn't change my baseline expectations of reactionary or "moderate" christians.

If we are to believe that gender and sexuality are socially situated within a specific cultural and time dependent context, then why do we assume that terms derived from such contexts like “homophobia” and “misogyny” are universally applicable and can be compared across different regions and areas of the globe?

because eurochristians exported that bullshit and imposed it upon most of the world?

implying muslim cultures aren't predominantly heteropatriarchal is probably some kind of orientalism
