A now-suspended troll twitter account whose other insightful tweets included "I wanna suck your **** with my hijab on", "let me suck your little arab ****. I am in the mood for some burnt kebabs", "**** me till my hijab flies off", "My third cousin Jamal just arrived from Pakistan. Gunna give him a ******* [a slang term for oral sex in the original tweet] as a welcoming gift", and "My favourate verse in the Quran is the one where Mohammed eats ass"? The one with a related account, @Maryam_Horran65, also now suspended, which had a similar penchant for apparently-unsolicited ****-related tweets to people?

Wow, I guess it's a good thing you don't have a signature extolling the virtues of skepticism and didn't just call out another poster for not remembering that they were on a skeptical forum, otherwise this epic skepticism fail on your part could have been really awkward and embarrassing for you.

You bring up irrelevant red herrings. Please comment on the obvious harm religious thinking can do, which was the intention of my post.

What "obvious harm religious thinking can do"? Making ******** register fake twitter accounts to troll people with bigoted anti-Muslim and anti-Arab tweets and harass random people with penis jokes? Making people post links to tweets from said fake, troll twitter accounts without doing even the most cursory investigation into whether it's legitimate or not, simply because it fits into their preconceived biases?

The fact that the entire Tweet which you want to "discuss" is a fake and a troll is an "irrelevant red herring?"

What an odd concept of skepticism you have.

Gladly!

Religious thinking can cause someone to share an obviously bogus tweet with no research or skepticism whatsoever.
 
The sad testimony of an ex-Muslim: I Cheated Present-Day Me

For a long time, I agreed with my family’s conclusions. I took part in the decisions. I pushed them towards fundamental Islam. I practically shoved it down their throats. I showed the book I’d read to my mother, and when she ignored it, I pushed. I pushed until she gave in. I thought I was freeing my family from their hellish shackles, but in reality, I was just tightening them. The devil was not chaining them, I was; I chained my family to Islam. To Wahhabism. To Salafiyyah. At age 12, we threw aside our cultural music. At 14, I convinced her to wear dresses instead of pants. At age 15, we shunned our cultural artwork. At age 17, we destroyed our family photos. The chains grew tighter and tighter. The same chains that forced my grandmother to undergo female genital mutilation. The same chains that made my aunts wear the niqab, and made my uncles grow beards. The same chains that separated my family from me. I locked them in those chains, and I threw away the key.

If you really want to discus the harm of religious thinking, why do you have to take the most extreme examples? Surely you must know that your provoking examples will derail the discussion? That it turns out to be an obvious fake from an obvious troll do not help either.
 
The hallmark of a true skeptic: never even acknowledging your errors, much less apologizing for them and trying to correct them.

Huh.

I am utterly unsurprised that a child whose family adopted fundamentalist Wahhabi Salafism grew up to regret it as an adult, and equally unsurprised that you take a story about a child whose family adopted fundamentalist Wahhabi Salafism and try to generalize it to Islam as a whole.

Still no mea culpa for posting a tweet from a fake troll twitter account?

From the article:

Photography taps into your humanity and soul. Not only do you feel more alive and human, you feel connected to something greater than yourself.

That is probably why Islam banned it.

Islam banned photography? You need proceed no further to know it is all hyperbole.

it's like claiming Christianity banned Birthday celebration because JW do it.
 
Your constant mockery of apostates and your apparent lack of empathy for them is disgusting to watch. How can you live with yourselves?
