Oh my goodness. Like I said:

I am starting to really, really worry about humanity

Nobody should be getting tattoos.

Oh my goodness indeed, humanity is nothing to worry about, human beings are generally very nice decent people until they get involved with insane and
enslaving belief systems.
Indeed, nobody should be getting tatooes, ie nobody should be persecuted or condemned in anyway for that which is what they are and that which makes
them human.
Certain belief systems consider the way some people are an "abomination" a "sinner" which terms only apply in the belief system, that is they are
"repugnant criminals" in the eyes of the belief system.
If an individual chooses to consider another person in a manner less than themselves, then this is their human right, and allthough it may not agree
with the views of others the right to free think should be upheld at all times.
However when this personal belief is attempted to be forced or coherced upon others or dupes the vulnrable to impact the lives of others in a negative
manner, so as to discriminate an individual then it becomes not only repugnant but illegal in EU law.
The Bible most definately discriminates against a variety of Human types, if it did not then there would be no mention of these types in these
falacious writings.
I have the human right to consider women inferior to myself for example, I have the right to think as I like.
I do not however have the right to write a book that would encourage other individuals to consider women in the same way, in order to impact their
lives in a manner that could potentially harm them physically or emotionally this is hate crime.
The (alledged) author of the bible could think how he or she likes of me he has the right to, he also has the right to think of doing me harm either
physically or emotionally he also has the right to consider impinging upon my life.
But he has NO right to act this out or encourage others to do so, this is a discriminatory attack on myself.
The Bibles in their various forms, openly discriminate against various human types and the topic of this thread shows a working example of how they do
and also encourage the reader (believer) to do the same.
If there is no place in christianity for descrimination then descriminatory statements should be removed from it's doctrine.
As a rule I personally find it ignorant, foolish and repugnant to consider burning a book, but the volume of harm that this particular book (s) has
instigated throughout history and is still doing, makes me consider getting out my matches.
