Let’s judge all religions by their texts!

And yet, Mohammad’s own words and supposed actions will always have an effect. They can’t be ignored by Muslims.

Look, I’m not taking a simple position.

But attempting to rewrite the world into simple stories where there will never be trouble, where you never say anything bad about a religion, where you pretend all problems away isn’t the answer to paranoia.

Not everyone is capable of balance, but we have to tell the truth even when telling the truth has bad consequences along with good ones.

I’m not trying to “judge religions” in these comments, if I did I’d rant about how they’re all indefensible. I’m saying these texts have effects out in the real world and will continue to.

Answer I think there is no solution.

I’m not fighting for anything except talking honestly.
