Religion. Discuss ( or should that be argue )

I was refereeing to government view and attitudes, excepting some times of extremism far more than an other form of extremism, because it's an extreme view of their faith.

That persons illogical thoughts taken to an extreme is bad but a second persons illogical thoughts taken to an extremes are more expectable. This is because I am a member of that persons group, or I know many people who are part of that group. I hold the same illogical idea but don't take them to the extreme, I can see the cut off point of my illogical ideas, I know where the limit lies, this person doesn't. We have to be realistic, for example you see obviously when God says we should kill Gays that's unrealistic, it's a metaphor, it's taking it too far, we should just discourage it as it's unnatural. but they have a point.

It's hard to work out quite what you are saying here, it's not entirely clear.

As for the idea that Biblical and Koranic edicts, based on their respective religious texts, to 'kill gays' is 'unrealistic' and a metaphor - I think that is entirely wrong - it's not a metaphor, it's a command to kill homosexuals.

I agree that killing gays is 'taking it too far' (!) and it should be 'discouraged' - all excellent ideas.
