  • And I’ve watched the things you’re talking about be used to propose legislation against free speech, and the path you want to take is more slippery than the slipperiest slope imaginable.

    Censorship gains traction under the guise of reasonable sounding proposals and always leads to misuse. I have no doubt you have good intentions at heart, but I super promise other people don’t and they will use any legislation available as a way to curtail dissent, treason, and sedition.

    I promise we’re better off with havens for free speech.



















  • Exactly, kind of. Religious fundamentalism is a fascinating concept, because basically it is exactly that - taking the fundamental ideas of the religion and using that interpretation to derive perspective and subsequent law or policy.

    In a very real, significant way it’s a better representation of the religion than the watered down, culturally accepted version that moderate religious individuals will say is the ‘real’ version.

    Orthodox is fundamentalism, and anything otherwise is not the actual religion, even if that is the majority, like modern Christianity.
