    I don’t believe for an instant that any of these people believe in any of their religions, just use them as means to justify their own vile sentiment and actions.

      It’s worse. They completely believe their religions and it’s their god that commands them to kill the sinners. It’s a rationalization feedback loop: They are just doing what they are told to be proper religious folk.

        That’s not a valid excuse. We didn’t accept it when the nazis said they were just following orders, and we won’t accept it now.

          We totally accepted it when Americans said they were following orders, though.

              Probably would be easier to say when did we not?

              The most notable example that comes to mind is the guy who perpetrated the My Lai massacre getting house arrest, that only happened because of leaked documents going public.

              But it’s not the only one. Our soldiers love to take selfies with human trophies, and nothing meaningful happens when they do.

        Absolutely this… they believe it zealously, and the ends justify the means.

        This shit is just self serving. They’ll believe whatever is convenient to excuse their shitty behaviour.

        That’s not what the religion they claim to follow teaches, so no, they don’t believe in their religion. They believe in the insane ramblings of politically motivated scammers.

      Fascists are fascists. It doesn’t matter what particular holy book they wave around.

      That’s blatantly apparent by them not following literally any of the teachings of Jesus. These people are anti-christ.
