text: You base your entire life around a book full of talking animals, unicorns, and magic lol. You have ZERO right to talk about what's "natural" or "moral" when you're a part of a religion that to this day oppresses, rapes, lynches, tortures, and murders hundreds of thousands- particularly in Africa where innocent people accused of being "witches" are barbarically burnt alive while the murderers praise their god all the while and lesbian women are violently gang-raped. Your religion is barbaric and depraved and you worship a blood-thirsty god that slaughtered a group of children simply for making fun of a prophet's bald head. There's not an iota of "love" or "compassion" in your religous extremism and the fact that the majority of the poor, violent, most oppressive 3rd-world countries are all highly religious (Africa, the Middle East, etc.) while the richest, safest, happiest, healthiest countries with the most human rights are all highly secular (USA, the majority of Europe) attest to the how damaging religious mania can be. You can stick to being a slave to a hateful, oppressive, and murderous deity, but for those of us fortunate enough to live in a free country, we'll continue believing in whatever the hell we want, loving who we want, and living our lives as WE- not you or your Bronze Age death cult- see fit. It's not surprising that a Christianist wouldn't understand the basic concept behind consent- that being that rape, murdee, and molestation- things that the religious practice in much higher numbers than any atheist or agnostic- are in no way comparable to a consenting couple of the same sex loving each other. You people don't understand consent because everything your bible stands for lies in direct contradiction to freedom and with that, consent. That's why your bible approves of slavery, theocracy, and forcing rape victims to marry their rapists, because it is built upon a disgusting, violent, and regressive idealogy that encourages its followers to be sociopathic monsters that attack, oppress, enslave, and murder, all under the mantle of Christian "love". Your country is in a bad enough state- what with the constant lynchings, entire villages bludgeoning and burning innocent people- including defenseless children and the developmentally disabled- to death for perceived slights, rampant rape, extreme poverty, disease, famine, religious extremism, and corrupt government- without you people being concerned with what other people are doing in the privacy of their bedrooms or what's between their legs. If religionists focused on their OWN lives and on making this world a safer, better, more loving place to live instead of filling their own pockets, spreading hatred and encouraging violence against anyone who dare live outside their regressive idealogy, and playing false prophets and miracle worker to fool the ignorant masses, they might be able to begin making a positive impact, but since that's never going to happen, your mantle of "love and compassion" is a false one. Oppressing, raping, assaulting, torturing, condemning, proselytizing, shoving your beliefs down everyone's throats, and murdering isn't love. It's blatant hatred and abuse done under the mantle of "Christian compassion", but it's anything BUT "love".
