    Yeah, it was bad when Lenin did it. It was arguable one of the worst things Lenin did. We’re supposed to learn from that and not perpetuate it any further. Marxism is a science that evolves and we now understand religious discrimination was a mistake and horrible. You should not be perpetrating it today.

      Why exactly is it bad? We don’t protect any other ideas or fantasies that way. How is belief in a magic sky daddy really any more respectable than belief in a flat earth? I support the right of everyone to choose to believe in such things, but I don’t see why they can’t be made fun of. The US constitution protects religious belief from the state, but it doesn’t protect it from mockery. That wasn’t an accident. It’s also not “religious discrimination”.

          I don’t think you understand “respect” any more than you understand “religious discrimination”. I respect Christians so much that I think they can handle a little mockery and don’t need special protection.
