What are you some sort of hippy Unitarian? I hate to break it to you, but the real religions have rules. Catholics will just politely ask you to take the proper sacraments. Probably the same for most Muslims. I can imagine getting dumped in the desert if you accidentally attended one of the conclaved Mormon rituals.

- waps 12y agoThe problem with a lot of liberal sentiment is that it can only ever work if you assume all religions are the same thing with slightly different colors and the same prayer said in a different language. If something, like, oh, say islam's apostate laws, existed, it would be plain to everyone that you can't have freedom of religion and islam (not limited, of course, to that one religion). Only one of those can exist. Of course that doesn't mean you can't just deny any of this exists, especially because there are liberal muslims (less than 1%, sure, but of course it doesn't look like that in San Francisco. But even in San Fran you won't have any trouble finding people who'll use violence against apostates either).
- mkaziz 12y agoThere's actually a lot of debate around apostasy laws, and a decent argument that the apostasy law actually refers to leaving Islam and committing treason against the Islamic state, not just leaving Islam. It's not as clear cut as you make out.
