Hey @dang -- why are people allowed to mock other people's religion here?

Ah, so virtually every idea known to humankind is able to be critiqued, yet religion—a fundamentally unproven, dogmatic discipline that sows conflict into the world by its very nature—is immune from such criticism.

I don’t think so. There is nothing wrong with criticizing a belief system—it is distinct from more innate characteristics such as race or sexual orientation.

It doesn't bother me as long as its applied equally, but I doubt it will be applied equally, so I'm leery of it.
