@SamHarrisOrg@MaajidNawaz@Ayaan I think that's easy answer. I attribute it to a psychologically weak individual rationalizing rape/terror -
@SalmaanToor I have no idea what you're talking about. But I have always maintained that rape is one of the worst crimes there is. -
@SamHarrisOrg I agree. You were attributing rape to religious motives, I'm suggesting the motive is the individual's psychological state -
@SalmaanToor It's more complicated than that. Just take the Catholic Church for a start: http://www.project-reason.org/vatican_justice/ … -
@SamHarrisOrg will take a look, thanks. Celibacy = repressed sexual desires that ultimately are uncontrollable and led to pedophilia. -
@SalmaanToor@SamHarrisOrg And what represses desire? Religion. How can you even suggest it's not the main cause?!? -
@sisboombahbah@SamHarrisOrg what repressed desire? The individual. Actually the healthy individual channels desire into prosocial acts imo -
@SalmaanToor@SamHarrisOrg Not if God tells them to suppress it.
