I am tired of hearing that Islam is the religion of peace. All I see is intolerance. Can you speak out against it? Can you leave it? Do you have freedom of choice? Do women have equal rights? Are gays even tolerated? Is anyone else, for that matter, considered an equal?

anyone who wishes to be honest has to admit 90% of homo/transphobia in the world today comes from monotheism. this is easily demonstrated.
before monotheism, human beings used to celebrate our sexuality. this is easiest demonstrated with easter. consider the traditional symbols of easter: the rabbit, and the egg. easter is self-evidently about sex. exuberant sex. just like the maypole is phallus worship. our ancestors were fantastically ignorant about human biology. but they understood that sex was necessary for life to continue. they celebrated it in the spring, which they associated with life and renewal. all across the world now, there is evidence of homosexuality in native america, africa, and asia, and in all of the progenitors to mammals, including lowly cephalopods and athropods. then monotheism came along and decided human sexuality is something we aught be ashamed of.
one of the chief concerns of the desert tribes that cooked up judaism was increasing their numbers. they were thus hostile to all forms of sex not involved in procreation. recall that onan was struck dead for spending his seed outside a woman. couple this with a few more historical accidents. the people who cooked up christianity actually debated throwing out all the books of the old testament. but they were determined to make the prophecies come "true." the hebrew word, "alma," which only means "young woman," was translated to mean "virgin." and they honestly believed the world was going to come to an end, and that the body was low and filthy, and the spirit pure. islam merely plagiarized the worst aspects of prudery and hellfire from christianity. many liberals concern themselves with multiculturalism. take note that as monotheism spread, it gave no regard to what native americans, africans, and asians thought about homosexuality. it insists--literally at gunpoint in modern times--that all those other cultures obey these desert myths, regardless of what their own cultures believed. now, instead of african queens taking warrior brides, we have 'correction rape," and african women having toilet brushes jammed up their vaginas until they die.
orlando is the terrible price civilization must pay so we can keep this ridiculous toy. i wonder what it will take before people will have enough?
no, we can never make religion go away. but can everyone please have a grown up conversation that what i just outlined is where it all comes from, and how the horrible homophobia which sprung is a terrible accident of history? if the boy's father had just let him be gay, and tell him it's alright, maybe he wouldn't have grown into a self-loathing man who felt compelled to do what he did.
