Christians - but not the Westboro Baptists<br><br>Muslim - but not the Taliban or ISIS<br><br>I hesitate to amplify any religion's voice because no matter how peaceful these ideologies espouse to be, having the possibility of a divine command to commit violence will always be an option for them. Prior Army medic and deconstructed from calvanism, I am against 99% of violence/war nowadays. <br><br>Love you Lex and love your guest, keep putting good into the world brother ❤️🇺🇸,(reply>), @akram El mansouri Really appreciate your perspective! The cognitive dissonance thing is terrifying! With the rest of my family still deeply religious I sometimes forget that holding religion accountable to its own word is still needed, even though it has been covered quite a bit. Peace, brother,(reply>), As an ex-muslim i would say that the peace part is mainly for people who are also muslim, if anyone told you otherwise, they're either lying to market their ideology or that they simply don't know their religion that much (quite common since they were mainly endoctrinated to it since they were young, and taught to never delve deep or question the core ideas of the religion).<br><br>I mean, i knew friends that will blatantly lie about the true teachings they were taught when they talked about Islam to non-muslims, just to make their ideology sound "nicer", and they know they're lying. It's so interesting seeing the cognitive dissonance manefesting in their face as they conjure up a tweaked light version of their religion.<br><br>I totally agree with what you said, however peacful a divine text is, any progress humanity makes that diverges from the text in the slightest, is nothing but a spark to the exploison that is the extremists and edgelords that hold the divine text a little bit too close to their hearts.
