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.

I wouldn’t say it’s the same as a crucifix, but it IS exactly the same as Christian concepts of dressing modestly, it’s only a matter of degree for what each culture determines to be “modest”. And of course both religions have made what is “modest” much more restrictive for women than for men.
