Commonalities the article sees between the two: They pass off mere beliefs and theories as facts: They have a creepy love fetish for something that doesn't show love back: They respond to criticism with nothing but attacks: They have a persecution complex: They impose their will on other people: They follow their leaders without question: They hate other religious extremists: They make normal people look bad:
Anyone here agree or disagree? |
