religious freedom
« on: November 19, 2018, 01:07:47 pm »
The biggest virtue in religion is religious freedom. The Gods do not force us to worship them. Noone has died because s/he is an atheist. Atheism is perfectly moral. The most important virtue is that we can shape freely our relationship with the gods or the lack of any relationship. Unfortunately there are countries with zero religious freedom. That's wrong and ugly. For crying out loud, they can kill people for making cartoons out of the god. Or they think that if they kill infidels they will go to heaven and there are suicide attacks. Not to mention some countries ban atheism! People with zero tolerance are the criminals here and not the atheists.

Well, 'criminals' is not quite the right word here, always, because as you say sometimes it's the people in authority who are imposing a particular faith (and they're acting within the law of their land, albeit one which you and I dislike & disagree with), but I get where you're coming from.

Edit: added missing comma
“Radiate boundless love towards the entire world — above, below, and across — unhindered, without ill will, without enmity.” – The Buddha
(From the Metta Sutta)
