    Nah, anyone believing in a loving sky daddy as described by the vast majority of religions in the year 2025 yet can believe this kind of anti-human tripe is absolutely contributing to the problem, willfully and consciously.

      Nah, as in, no pity, I assume?

      The problem is, many believers (arguable how many, but it could be pretty substantial) could be regarded as legally mentally handicapped. This is generally regarded as an IQ of 70 or below. What about those that have IQs from 70-85? Not legally disabled, but very easy to manipulate by intelligent people and would have a difficult time navigating propaganda.

      Are the extremely stupid at fault? I’d say no, the entire blame should be placed on those in power who are manipulating these people for personal gain. It’s truly psychopathic and sadistic.

      But no pity whatsoever to someone who is smart enough to understand, but chooses to go along due to cowardice or other reasons.

        Ohhhh nononono, I agree that those in power have far MORE blame, but at what point do you call a dangerous idiot caught up in propaganda dangerous?

        No matter how you feel about them, they WILL kill you for disobeying. At what point does a useful idiot become an enemy combatant?

        People that embrace teachings wholly counter to what they are supposed to believe should bare guilt. They should not be forgiven if they go on to make the world a worse place simply for being an ignorant fool.

        They can be forgiven AFTER they change their ways. Until then, they are a brainless tool being actively used by evil people.
