(45,319 posts)victims, they are the oppressors and it is not theory but current events. Folks who do not speak out against that, but instead paint religion as victimized itself seem not to care much for the dead, the prisoners and those beaten to a pulp in the genocidal anti gay nations.
I just don't agree that people object to targeted killings of minorities, because when it is religion killing gay people no one gives a shit.
I would never propose any limits to religion much less any elimination of it. I will also not accept the characterization of those who are killing my people as victims.
This last week, many people who lecture gay people to just silently accept extreme denigration from religious people claimed they understood why those terrorists killed people-they'd been denigrated, and those who denigrate others should expect strong responses. It's a disturbingly bigoted form of hypocrisy which says 'if they insult you, you must let them, if they kill your brother you must allow it and you must never criticize them in anyway in return, no matter how much they harm you'.
I reject bigotry, wrap it up in whatever God shaped excuse you want, I reject it.
