re: #383 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

I engaged with this already by talking about the other, non-religious things you could likewise classify as ‘abuse’ that way.

In what way does enumerating unrelated things that you classified as “abuse” argue that belief in an intolerant God, Satan and hell can not make people fearful (of, for instance, thoughts or empathy that could lead to damnation) and can not make people intolerant?

You, perhaps, answered that there are non-abusive things that have some similarity, but you have not even succeeded in implying that belief in an intolerant God who tortures does not in turn make people intolerant.
