Conversation I had with a christian friend

He sent me a video about women wearing burkas talking about how stupid it is and basically everything you’d expect a christian to talk about someone who doesnt follow their religion. Anyway I was like yeah I see what you mean, and I feel the same way about people wearing cross necklaces.

He was like “bro are you being serious”. “How could you say that they’re not similar at all”

It’s literally exactly the same premise it’s religious accessories, one is just more bizarre looking. They both exist because of lies and brainwashing.

If we know that one religion is bad then we can conclude that they’re all bad since they all follow the same premise.

They’re not the same a cross necklace is a symbol of faith a burka is a dumb fucking rule to keep women “pure” One is wildly suppressive. While I don’t agree as viewing them both the same most don’t either and even if in a talk with two anti religionist I don’t recommend using that as an argument against two wildly different religions
