Yeah agreed. I'm just saying what's the difference between someone choosing to subject themselves to that heat for religion vs someone who chose to do it for some other reason. I'm not religious, but the fact that someone else died practicing what they believe doesn't make me happy. The initial comment I replied to is just feeding into the atheism circle-jerk that's really common here.
The point is that someone willing to die in the heat for something that doesn't exist probably isn't the most useful to society. It doesn't have to make you happy
why hate on them if you don't understand them? I honestly couldn't care less about religion personally, but I don't go out of my way to say they're stupid. sounds like you think the Muslim religion is stupid and so you're projecting onto Muslims and saying they're stupid because you personally think the religion is stupid.
No I don't care if people practice religion. But if you willingly go out out in deadly heat because of it, that makes you stupid. If they were doing it because of another reason I'd call that stupid too.
