    Listen buddy.

    First of all, men are brutalizing women all over the world, every day, regardless of religion.

    You should think about religion as less of a driver and more of a record. Like a dictionary.

    People will do whatever they want to do, and then they will justify it. If there happens to be a few convenient passages in a religious text justifying setting your spouse on fire, they’ll repeat that until they’re blue in the face while dousing a woman in gasoline.

    And sure, you can say that they use that text to tech their kids, but they’re still just teaching the bits they want to.

    The point is, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, doesn’t matter. All major sacred books have bits about brutalizing women that step out of line, and the people that really like those bits tend to climg to them to justify being horrible fucking people.
