Thinking Ahead as Latter-Day Saints

Post by _moksha »

If the atheists have their way and political correctness becomes even more pervasive, then pretty soon mistreating anyone will be looked down upon. What shall we do then? Well, there are always the anti-Nephi-Lehites to kick around.

Any other suggestions? (Think hard because it does not bode well for boards such as this one)

Do not mistreat, simply correct, beg to disagree, and withhold support.

Please define the word mistreating. Is criticism of Islam forbidden in your utopia?

Blame it on those atheists, not me. Jihad against the infidels, homos, and left handed seems not only viable but part and parcel of the good adherents of any given religion. How else can we assert our righteousness over these heathens?

Religion is all about belonging to a tribe that deems itself more right than any other.
Atheism is about not believing any of them are right.
Humanism is about not giving a damn about religious thought and just getting on helping others make the best life they can.
(But yes, the left handed are to be universally persecuted)

You didn't answer my question. There is a tacit alliance between some on the Left and some Muslims attacking people who criticize Islam. In addition, antisemitism is rife on some campuses, mainly on the Left, and in Europe. Where are the voices on the Left criticizing Sharia? Christopher Hitchens is dead and few Leftists are taking up his mantle on this issue.
