Please don't. Religious flamewars are not ok on Hacker News.


And I'm not promoting any religion. I'm pointing the real problems in the actual religious texts, and I'm not limiting myself to one religion.

The problems exist and have huge consequences to the humanity. Approach it as a human not as the member of this or that religion. They aren't going away unless we are able to confront them.


> And I'm not promoting any religion

But you're attacking one. That's the definition of a religious flamewar. Please stop.


Not one, and not "attacking." More pointing to reforms needed to at least all Abrahamic religions (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrahamic_religions) which all have the same problems, and the leaders of them all should finally come together, issue common statement, officially disavow the bad parts (with the explanations!) and preserve the humane ones. Until then, the religious excuses for wars and violence will remain.

I'm also against attacking one.

"The largest Abrahamic religions in chronological order of founding are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

As of the early twenty-first century, it was estimated that 54% of the world's population (3.8 billion people) considered themselves adherents of the Abrahamic religions, about 30% of other religions, and 16% of no organized religion.[6][7]"
