Reply #144: Your case was that people

"need to judge people based on their words and actions, and not on their personal philosophies."

But if people explicitly base their words and actions in religion (as above), then they're actions and their religion are the same thing. Thus any judgment on said action or religion is, by that person's definition, a judgment on the corresponding religion or action..

You are making the case that religion should get a pass. You're making a case that intelligent people should not respond to the religious aspects of the argument. I think not. Absolutely not. Never.
