I am talking about the darker sides of religion as a whole. I mean things like cutting off hands, stoning people who are gay, burning witches. Religion sure had some award winning ideas. Hey, lets have another crusade! Those are always fun
Region has been the source of some of the dumbest things humans have ever done or continue to do.
Edit - and to be clear, I am not blaming all the bad things on religion. We do enough stupid and horrible crap without itās help.
Wellā¦ at least the Witnesses donāt vote they just tend to shun and disown their family and hate people for wearing rainbow stuff. But most the others that try to put their religious beliefs into politics suck because of how many there are yeah.
I wonāt disagree with that, but I find one of the darkest parts of religion is the way it can slowly infiltrate and convert a populace - and the laws and rules that are established. Itās far harder to stamp out, especially since those who fall victim to it wonāt see off the bat the evils of it - like they would with stoning people, or burning witches.
The tapdancing and mental gymnastics many have to do to justify their belief is pretty ridiculous though. All you have to do is bring up something like Exodus 21, where it specifically talks about how to own slaves. The excuses they come up with are endless.
That defeats the purpose. No company is just going to do it, they have to let everyone know theyāre doing it so everyone can marvel about how brave and woke they are.
I was going to suggest the same thing. I mean, itās definitely progress for Catholicism, but itās a pretty low bar. Even so, there are people on these forums who canāt clear it.
Myth of Adam & Eve aside, no creature - regardless of how intelligent - is free from competing against one another. Iād argue humans are one of the few that can be selfless and sacrifice for others.
If it doesnt matter based on your logic then LGBT+ characters should be part of the story and that the complains about the current inclusions does not have merit and the complain about lack of inclusion does have merit. It if doesnt matter they why not have it in the game in the first place?
Iād also point out the story for certain characters(like the oned with kids) would play out quite differently with lgbt+ couples.
As a LGBTI person there is no need for ārepresentationā in the game.
Nothing in the game persecutes your lifestyle choices outside of the game. There is nothing in the game that says being LGBTI is bad. Therefore the counterbalance i.e representation is not required.
It wasnāt too long ago they were claiming that black people were descendants of caine and talked about the ācurse of caineā and that means they are lower than white folks and deserve to be slaves.
Sadly, yes. Itās not surprising. If they merely looked into it more theyād see heās a liar and a fraud, and goes against what many denominations hold most sacred.
Some of his policies are very conservative religious, and the evangelical angle for Trump is absolutely relevant.
The representation (good representation) is basically a way of showing that they exist, and that itās just part of who they are. Itās the same with protagonists who arenāt white - Iāve talked to others about it in the past, and they were right about that too.
