    Welcome to the modern world. Where a country can destabilize another country by burning some stupid ass books.

      Got to say the 21st century is shaping up to be disappointing. One would have hoped the garbage that was religion would have finally died off already.

              I always love how coy the theists are. Can’t just fucking say what they believe, have to try to make people guess. Maybe they are taking the idea from their skydaddy who also likes to hide.

          Difference between me and you. If I want to know something I learn it, if you want to you guess it.

            Oh can you learn the why and not just the how?

      Do you think that wasn’t possible before? That’s pretty naive. Burn a Bible in medieval Europe and tell me what happens.

        Local anger then forgotten. No one would ever hear about it outside the few people who lived nearby

          Early Crusades beg to differ. Everyone would hear a really distorted version of this “persecution” and then go on a huge march and kill some unrelated people about 5 years later.

          Local anger? What a weird way of saying public lynching

          Because there was no social media at the time though it would certainly spread slower. And I doubt it would be forgotten given how long the “blood libel” conspiracy has been kicking around and causing massacres throughout history.

        Ugabooga the shamans daughter in caveman times, you get kill. Tell me what happens.

        Most countries have already moved out of the medieval age yaknow.

          Technologically yes.

          Many people still base their morality on mythology from the Iron Age. Blood libel conspiracies still exist.

          We didn’t evolve into a better human when we ended the medieval period. We’re still the same apes prone to the same fallacies and environmental pressures.

          You just want to feel like you’re intrinsically above this behavior, which is a naive way to view human thought and morality. Given the right circumstances you could easily turn out just like them.

        Unless you did it in front of someone with authority or capacity to spread the word around, not much.

        It’s not like we had global media during the plague.

        Emphasis on medieval though. Muslims can drive lambos, they can also arrive in this millennium on other topics.
