1. I'm sure so many of them

Never want to hear about religion again. Our evangelicals are becoming more and more like the theocrats in Iran.

3. In methodology perhaps--- but I've yet to hear any muslims claim that Mohammed's teachings were

"liberal talking points," "weak," or "subversive", as some supposed evangelicals have now been saying
about the teachings of Jesus....!

Evangelicals Are Now Rejecting ‘Liberal’ Teachings of Jesus

I suspect that one of their major objections is against
CSB
“If you want to be perfect,” Jesus said to him, “go, sell your belongings and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.
Then come, follow me.”

4. I wonder when or if any local Republican Party headquarters in the U.S. will start to burn---

(not that I advocate it happening)---

"just asking a question"!

5. An interesting reply...

Iranian (living outside Iran) here. Mosques have not been considered a place of worship in Iran for the past 47 years. They are the Basij's (militia branch of IRGC) bases of operation. The large ones even have their own jail, torture rooms & armoury.

Many Iranian millennials & Gen X & Gen Z who have mostly just lived under theology, have grown to hate the religion itself. They are the ones who are asking for the return of the Shah & trying to undo the damage Iranian boomers did by exiling the Shah & giving the country to Islamists.

Edit: What you see in Iran is the result of not separating church and state. When you mix those shits, you end up losing both.
