I'm not paranoid; all I was doing was voicing my disagreement with a religion I find to be abhorrent. If you want to point me in the direction of other religions that have caused such modern levels of violence, I will treat them in the same regard. Regardless of how many ''good'' people there are who follow the faith, the blood trail that the religion itself is leaving behind is big. We mock the Westboro Baptist Church because they're idiots and they preach barbarism and savagry, as we should. People mock Islamic faith for similar reasons, and other than ''NOT EVERYONE IS LIKE THAT'' and ''SHUT UP YOU RACIST PHOBIC INCARNATION OF HITLER'' I almost never see any legitimate defense being levied against them. I've even watched some debates between professionals, and when questioned on the religion they always opted for a moral defense, dodging the issue, pointing the finger at the religion(or philosphy) their opponent was following and thought of one terrible dictator to compare to, or other shady tactics.
When your religion has been one of the highest motivating factors for cruel acts, and openly encourages you to commit what we would consider today to be atrocities, you're damn right you have an obligation to defend the reason you would support such a cause. No other religion is immune to this level of criticism, except Islam I guess, because anyone who questions it are just scared and hateful of a religion of peace.
But it seems you follow the religion itself so I guess you wouldn't be impartial on the issue, and it isn't my job to absolve you of your apologism.
