| bdbdbd said: Different people follow different religions in different ways. Different religions have different dogmas and If you reject the dogmas, you reject the religion. Different religions have different punishment for such blasphemy, on some it's death, some it's banishement from religious community and some it's nothing. You can find the punishment in some religions from it's dogmas, that are not to be questioned, and the religious community makes the god's will to happen. So, while you can intrepret the religion the way you want, it doesn't prevent you getting stoned to death, because the majority's intrepretation is that you need to get stoned for incorrect or non-dogmatic intrepretation. |
It makes little sense to acknowledge that religions are made up by a culture, while being adamant that those things can't change.
Judaism also talks about stoning people who don't follow certain rules, and yet that's clearly not followed today.
And there has been pushback against stoning in a few of the countries, you're talking about.
If you want to argue that they're no longer "dogmatic Muslim" or something, sure, but plenty of people call themselves Muslim while being opposed to stoning in any circumstance.

Most often entertainment views politics as an enemy, even if it would be on the "good" side, while protagonist is an individualist who rejects politics and breaks rules to achieve his goal. This is sonewhat easy for people to understand, because this is what they often experience on their everyday life - they just can't break the rules the same way the hero of the story does. |
I'm really not sure what you're considering politics.
