Re. conversion - nilsocket, do you believe that every individual has agency in choosing their religion? Or do you believe that these choices should be made for them by “those that know better”? An analogy, do you think that your occupation should be something you can choose? Or should that choice be made for you by “those that know better”? If the conversion is “forced” or “fake”, nothing changes on the ground anyway, and it doesn’t matter. If the conversion is genuine, why should society have a say on an individual’s belief?

I very much believe in self-belief. I don't have any problem, if people convert to Christianity with their self-will and knowledge. Look at this handle, https://twitter.com/noconversion https://twitter.com/noconversion How many kinds of deceptions are being used by Christians in order to convert native people: Money to Defend rioters and convertions: https://twitter.com/Satyanewshi/status/1310562881469952000?s=20 https://twitter.com/Satyanewshi/status/1310562881469952000?s...

  That twitter handle is far from an unbiased source. Again, my question here is - Who decides that the reason someone has chosen for their conversion is “wrong”, for what is essentially an individual’s choice. I for one trust nobody but myself to make those judgements, within the framework of the law. I do not want the state to infringe on my personal freedom. Anti-conversion laws are a dangerous step in the direction of the state telling people what to believe and what not to.

I have no problem with sex, and if people really want it they pay for it, it is then called prostitution. I do not have a problem with sex or prostitution. But we all know where it would lead - drugs, gun violence, sex trafficking, child trafficking, mafia, money laundering, government corruption/blackmail. The certain organised religion/s have the same problem, imagine a neighbourhood mafia backed by a trillion dollar international conglomerate.
