You're talking about stuff that happened a long time ago - I'm pretty sure any historical figure you might chose to pick would have something about their life we'd find dubious now. I'm not expert on the Koran, but assuming it doesn't say "feck kids", I'm not sure how Mo's marriage is relevant.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So either it's an ancient book that no one should believe in this day and age or it isn't?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Dont want to sound pretentious/arrogant/facetious but right here is the issue and why an in depth study/discussion is needed around issues

The quran and the hadith are the 2 ruling bodies (for want of a better word) for muslims. And there needs to be a basic understanding of how these work. Muslims and non muslims dont have this in, I would argue, most cases

Put simply hadith and quran has issues it deals with that are specific for its time and future. Some people mix the 2

FOr muslims its not hard to understand why that happens. MAin reason is countries with Islam as the main religion are largely illiterate/uneducated and the powers that be manipulate for their own purposes

For non muslims what often gets portrayed is snippets without context
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This manipulation is one of the worst parts of religion wouldn't you agree?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But surely using what ever books to manipulate someone or a group is not the religions fault. Its just evil people.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Please....
Religion would not exist without people.....surely you can agree with that?
(or we wouldn't know about it as we wouldn't be here etc)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes I agree, but you cannot blame the religion itself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OK....

Is it healthy to love someone you fear?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Eh ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's not a difficult question mate
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your question is nonsense. If you are implying that you love god because of fear, then that person has got the wrong end of the stick.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
you're not allowed to leave either or change your mind

Well there is that of course....
Each religion copying/piggybacking a previous one....

----------------------------------------------------------------------
You are aware that some religions would call it one religion and not lots of different ones. Abrahamic faiths are called exactly that.

Pick up the receiver, I'll make you a believer.

Also I think another issue with politics is there is such a lack of people out there speaking 'the truth' or at least their version, that people get fixated by people like Jonathon Pie (in the OP).

They are even asking him to run for PM lol.

There is a word for people who believe women should hold greater power and rights to men: misandrist, the opposite of a misogynist.

I would not argue that there are some misandrists who would categorise themselves as 'radical feminists'. But that categorisation would be false and an affront to the 100 years and more of sacrifice and pain feminists have suffered in their fight towards a true equality.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem with discussion on websites is that the depth isnt there in a discussion and things come across as statements which can be taken any way

In principle I agree to a degree. However I am more inclined towards feminism exceeding what it was set up for. If indeed those who were behind the early movement did indeed do any sacrificing

What I mean here is that very early women who took up the cause did so with male backing. Many being middle/upper class and having a certain view of what a women should and shouldnt do which would be against modern femenism

As I say many causes start off good but then exceed their own boundaries. I dont see feminism today , in the main, as being about equality
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well I actually find that very sad, and I hope you are in the minority, because looking across the world, I see the continuing struggle for equality of the sexes as one of the biggest challenges for us in the 21st century.

I think in a straight up head-to-head, I'd take him over May. Or Johnson. Or <shudder> Farage.

Would rather Obama than May.

Obama had a pretty good stint in the states, but largely a lot didnt get done but thats the way the states are run #backwards
