I’m not interested in a game of whataboutism.
She willingly joined a cult that worships a pedophile after calling out a cult for shielding pedophiles from justice.
That’s as straight forward and in context as it gets.
That’s one description, but in context it’s misleading. If we wanted to talk about Christianity or Judaism we could look at the Bible and find shocking things there as well. And maybe we should. But that’s a totally different discussion from bad things that the Catholic Church did in the 1900s.

You literally started the whatsboutism in your original comment there buddy lol

I stated a fact, if you have issues with reality I suggest you see a psychiatrist.
Summzashi@lemmy.one 1 year ago
So did I. Here’s another one: you don’t know what whatsboutism is.
Just out of curiosity, what do you suggest I’d tell a psychiatrist? That I have a fear of facts or something? I’m incredibly curious how your toxic little mind works.

A religion with over a billion followers is not a cult.
Cypher@lemmy.world 1 year ago
All religions are cults.
By the way are you counting all the different sects as a singular group? In some places the cultists would kill you for that.
EhList@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No they are not and it’s an ignorant claim to make. You can leave a religion without the members having to cut ties with you and religions tend to not care if you have individually given money. Cults disfellowship people who leave and are very focused on your donations.
Given how ignorant you are over what a cult vs religion is I don’t think you should be generalizing about any one religion’s beliefs.

Jesus was a hippy, who whipped scammers at a temple. Mohommed raped a nine year old and was a warlord.

Exactly. You’re trying to compare things that people probably did 1500+ years ago with things that happened in our lifetimes. There’s no way to attain justice for actions that happened over a millennia ago, and it doesn’t really make sense to try.
If you want to convince people that organized religion is shit, I think you have a lot of good ammunition on hand, including some of the things that you mentioned. I’m not sure you’re going to turn people off to Islam by mentioning that Muhammad was a warlord, though.

They still worship him, hell they still add “Peace be unto him” after his name, a man who ordered murders.
