  • Missing the Point

    As usual, almost everybody misses the point, and begs the following salient questions:

    Why does religion get a free pass? Why should we respect and be "tolerant" of powerfully retrograde forces? Why do people come to places like Canada and still wear odious rags on their heads? What's preventing them from getting with the secular program in that province? Don't they realize that nothing bad will happen if they don't wear those things? If we must have states and other such authorities, is it not the duty of those authorities to enforce and ensure modernity?
