(49,533 posts)This is not exactly true, but it's what you say in order to obfuscate the issue and support your agenda.
People cite specific religious teachings to support their position. You know, like the parts of the bible that say you should kill witches. Those horrible teachings exist, no matter how much people like you want to shut your eyes and pretend they don't. Because just as you pick and choose what parts of the bible you want to accept, so too do the horrible people like murderers and terrorists. They have just as many verses in the bible or koran to point to as you do.
But you can't stand this reality, so you keep trying to say it's just people being bad and making up the claim that it's supported by their religion.
Until and unless people like you accept there really are bad things taught in religions, those bad people will still have the power.
