Disappointingly, I agree with you too on almost everything apart from Misbah-ul-Haq!
This OP lives in a lovely black and white world, untroubled by reality.
To him, God invented laws two millenia ago. They are miraculously equally applicable to a modern context now as to primitive uneducated humans 2000 years ago.
The fact that the scriptures were documented by ignorant humans with zero scientific understanding does not make this OP question whether they are 100% accurate for every situation in every era. He also relies on interpretations by current and ancient clerics whose knowledge of the world beyond their own religion is very close to non-existent.
There would not even be 5% of Anglican (Protestant) clerics who believe that Adam and Eve is a literal story. But the OP does.
At the moment in the USA we have seen the far-right MAGA movement work out that an ignorant uneducated subgroup of Christians can be manipulated politically by their devotion to religious scripture and their hatred of abortion.
Donald Trump shares virtually none of their beliefs or values, but he has learned what motivates them.
- The precious lives of unborn babies.
- Making life revolve around faith.
- Law and order (except when MAGA supporters would be subject to it).
- Shocking them with extreme stories of wokery.
The gender nonsense is a perfect example of concocting imaginary scandals to belittle your opponents as crazily woke.
Being transgender is a tragic existence for the tiny number of people affected by that plight. But hardly anybody falls into that category. It's an exaggerated, imaginary problem.
Caster Semanya is almost certainly resistant to the massive amounts of male hormone that she has, so her penis never developed and she was left with a vaginal orifice. But she has no ovaries and almost certainly has testes in her abdomen.
That's not a stick to beat the poor woman with. It's a terrible tragedy for her, not a victory for crazy woke liberals.
If I had to put on a scale of 1 to 100 who is the biggest menace to society, I would do it as follows:
People who support Russia versus Ukraine, or advocate the west staying out of it - Menace Level 100/100.
People who believe in Patriarchy - Menace Level 90/100.
White conservatives who just overturned Roe v Wade in the USA - Menace Level 70/100.
People who are transgender - Menace level 0/100.
