Religion in itself may provide comfort to those who need it. It's [b]people[/b] who use religion as an excuse to oppress others that are the problem. If it wasn't religion, it would likely be something else.

@bijouxbroussard what would it be?
@sexysam Well, consider the history of humankind: Nationalism, tribalism, racism, sexism...

@bijouxbroussard Kind sir, where are all these coming from? These are just adjectives! Not everyone is on the same page as you are and how does anyone know what any of those terms are? For an educated person, tribals are ppl living in forests or unearthly place (human terms) sexism?????? Lagging out loud...rest...I do not want open Pandora's box..
@sexysam [b]Ma’am[/b].I’m not trying to get into an argument. You asked a question, and thinking you sought a rational discussion I replied.

@bijouxbroussard and she called me Ma'am!!! Lmao
@sexysam Have you ever looked up what the word “tribe” means ? You may be surprised.

@bijouxbroussard I get your drift! I said tribals...not tribe.
@sexysam Tribal, adj. "of or characteristic of a tribe or tribes."

@bijouxbroussard again, your term..tribalism!! Use any dictionary you want to...
@sexysam this is the definition I meant by the term: "the behavior and attitudes that stem from strong loyalty to one's own tribe or social group."
[b]You[/b] replied,[quote]For an educated person, tribals are ppl living in forests or unearthly place (human terms)[/quote]

"Educated people" do use dictionaries. That definition isn't in them, because it's a stereotype.
