    ok look i literally do not give a fuck what is offensive to your religion, drawing a picture of some guy is not immoral and anyone who suggests that it is can eat my entire ass

    i dont care if you’re religious, but that apathy ends the second you start asking me to follow your dumb fucking religion’s dumb fucking rules. fuck off

      Carrying around a picture of a butchered steer isn’t immoral but it would upset some people. Carrying one around and showing it to everyone just because you’re upset that people are vegan would be kind of a dick move.

          Veganism is a set of beliefs and practices based around a shared moral and ideological belief, so yes, it is a religion.

          And yes, running around with a picture that you know will upset people for the explicit purpose of upsetting people is exactly the same.

              So, coming from an anthropology perspective - Lots of things are religions. It’s not a big deal. Chicago School economics is a religion. Liberal economics is a religion. Marxism, scientific or not, is a religion. “The Revolution” is an eschatological conflict at the end of history, at once immanent in our lives yet also constantly occupying the horizon of time.

              Something being a religion doesn’t comment on it’s moral qualities or truth value or whatever, it’s just a descriptive term. And Veganism, with it’s distinctive beliefs, moral code, dietary restrictions, cultural markers, etc etc etc, counts.

      Lmao bro is this how you treat trans comrades as well? it’s super easy to respect a muslim’s desire to not depict the prophet because it’s disrespectful, much like it’s easy to use someone’s preferred pronouns. imagine respecting people lmao

        What kind of consistency is this idea based on? That whenever someone holds someone else in high esteem you have to respect that? So by this logic could Trump supporters call you bigoted for drawing mean pictures of Trump?

              Listen man I’m not a believer either, i’m not saying you should be following any religious doctrine. I’m just saying there’s no material difference between respecting someone’s cultural or religious sensibilities. You’re alienating religious comrades for what seems to be no reason other than an imagined, arbitrary distinction between religion and any other way of life.

              I could use your same logic to say that i should be able to use the n word because i arbitrarily decided that the set of social rules around why i shouldn’t don’t apply to me, and i shouldn’t be expected to follow them.

            Drawing a mean picture of a Muslim is islamophobic. Respect Muslims of course. But raping a child, advocating slavery, etc. This does preclude you from respect and no one else can save you from that.

              It is clear that your outlook on Islam and Mohammed isn’t based on a wide breadth of knowledge on the subject, which isn’t particularly surprising or unique. This is okay though, because I’ve been noticing that there has been a concerted effort from some Muslim users on this site to try to reach out and inform comrades about misconceptions like what you’ve mentioned here. I saw a post by u/Saif, moderator of the new c/islam, regarding another user’s perception of Aisha (“raping a child”) that might clear that up, for instance.

      Civility at the expense of accomplishing something real is bullshit, but man, you’re not going to get very far with very many people if you’re just an outright asshole.

        Do you understand how traumatic it is to grow up in an environment ruled, socially and legally, by religion? It’s fucking horrifying. And then to see people who are supposed to be supporting you calling you racist, a chud, an asshole, etc for daring to suggest that religion shouldn’t control the life of a non-religious person? That’s terrifying too. I’m lashing out because this is truly a terrible, disgusting thing that people here are thoughtlessly supporting.
