Is religion still relevant in modern society?

@padib:

If you can't exhibit tolerance towards views that differ from yours, how can you expect the same.

Sorry, this little trick doesn't work on me. Tolerating intolerance is counter-productive.

Where in my post did I insult anybody?

Read your posts. Imagine that you're a woman. Or, if that's too much for for ya, imagine a woman saying the roles are reversed in the traditional society you love so much.

Not willing to take the time to understand me, you shun me and barely listen to the words I utter.

I know enough about you to know I'm acting appropriately towards you.

That's not what you live for, and that is something I know. Why are you behaving by it?

I assume there's a typo in that question?

If I do, then it's up to you to guide me in that direction. If you have something I lack or don't see, it's up to you to enlighten me.

I don't usually do that. Becuase it's my belief that if people can't 'enlighten' themselves, they're not worth 'saving'.

 Somewhat.

Aha, interesting. You should talk about this with a psychiatrist.

Would you be as prone to find excitement if a woman told you one of the reasons she is so opposed to chauvinism is because she was slapped and treated with contempt as a younger woman, simply because of her sex or physical state?

... You are aware that chauvinism is a bad thing, right? What you just asked me is the equivalent of saying 'would you be as prone to find excitement if a black man told you he finds white supremacy a bad thing because he was whipped when he was younger'. And sorry, but your desire to 'get back' at women and make them 'know their place', because you got beat up by a girl is unhealthy, and a little pathetic (a psychiatrist would be more tactful than I am right now, so you should really see one).

Why act differently with men?

What are you exactly, a true hypocrite, or simply purely insensitive to men? Or are you just on some sort of quest with a hidden agenda to push feminism and homosexuality wherever you have a chance, no matter what, and actually care little to nothing about people? I'm asking because I really am confused.

I'm not. I know for a fact that you did not experience persecution for being a male. The fact that you compare your two sisters picking on you with the type of chauvinistic treatment women usually recive from men is quite absurd. I'm all for equality, and individual men and women defining whatever 'place' in society they want for themselves.
