    Violence is the only language fascists understand

    If attempts to control non-Christians were met with orginized violence, then they would stop because they would be afraid to keep pushing.

    Unfortunately, appealing to the good side of evil people is a fruitless effort.

      The ting about religion is that it can make good people do evil things. There are lots of evil people in there and appealing to their good side is difficult to impossible, but there are also lots of good people caught up in ignorance.

      Ideally we could try to reason will all of them, but that privilege seems to be running thin. We will have to let many of these people go, but it’s good to remember that they aren’t intrinsically again us.

      You write people off to easy. Sure, growing up lots we discontent with their lives but there was no concerted effort to tear down the government.

      Media got us here. Media is to blame. Evil people can be quarantined. That is their “good side.” Forced to remain within their direct sphere of influence rather than spread their tentacles accross the entire internet.
