I didn't say that religion is bad. I said "a religion ... treats women like property." Nobody says that about Jainism. You can't even say that about satanism. Some religions treat women badly, and others don't.

Yeah look I’m not going to get into pointless discussions about religions that just going to end up like talking about football teams. You wanna criticize religion as a concept feel free to, but you’ll always end up sounding like you’re 12 when you’re painting with such a broad brush over something like 1.5 billion people. You may not notice in this circle jerk or even the circle jerk that is liberal media but people who tend to have strong simplified opinions on one topic usually have them about others as well. I hope you will experience that the world is more complicated than that and hopefully it will make you think.

It makes me think that you're not capable of defending your viewpoint, that's for sure.
