@aral wesrborough and daesh are close to the text of the Bible and the Koran: they are the heart of these traditions. Do not forgive this. -
@leashless@aral Even taking the views of St. Paul (without whom Christianity would be much better) into account, Westboro is way out there. -
@whvholst@leashless@aral the bible, like the Koran, can be used to justify anything from utopian love to the most horrid of violence. -
@iwelsh@leashless@aral ... same applies to Das Kapital etc. My objection is that Westboro isn't anywhere close to the heart of literalism.

@aral It's better to say Islam and christianity are not monocultures. ISIS and Westboro are both part of their respective cultures. >>Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@aral the same name. I’d say modernize your books, take out what you say your religion “isn’t about”, but preferably follow no book at all.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@aral They think /they/ are the true believers of their religion. That’s the whole problem, too many people believe different things underThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
