It’s interesting how certain people react with kindness and forgiveness to those who have done great wrongs to them. Salman Rushdie just put out a book where he tries to understand his attacker’s motives with empathy. I live in the town where Eva Kor settled. She was in Auschwitz as a child, experimented on by Mengele, and made a big point of publicly forgiving Mengele, Hitler and the Nazis for what they did. In some ways, it’s the best revenge you can have.
Religious figures must forgive people that have wronged them. Otherwise, they can’t defend the charade of religion.
Some do actually believe what they’re preaching, believe it or not.
Sure, but Rushdie is an atheist and Kor did not preach religion at all. Just forgiveness.
Of course. Bishops will always forgive everyone.
Because they have to beg forgiveness from their god for all the children they molest.

As if anybody here is arguing that Islamic schools are pious. You really should stop with whataboutisms.
I didn’t take that as a whataboutism. I took it as a “I agree with you, and if you haven’t read about it, here’s another thing that is also horrific.”
Of course. All religion is a cancer
