What examples do you have of religious fundamentalism actually bringing "our" moral system down?
​
Examples?
​
Historically...
​
  • Several Crusades
  • Various Inquisitions
  • Burning of "witches" (thou shalt not suffer a witch a to live)
  • Promotion of slavery (Jefferson Davis boasted slavery was established by decree of Almighty God...it is sanctioned in the Bible)
    ​
    Contemporary...
    ​
  • God hates fags
  • Waco and Jonestown
  • Murder of doctors (after all abortion cheapens life)
  • Polygamy (Mormon and Islam)
  • Jesus (hell) Camp
  • Jihad
  • Honor Killings
