  1.  @xeniadelsol  Religious people are taught to hate irreligious people because they see them as a threat.

  2. The children born of these dreadful unions are innocent and their lives must have been blighted. As for the excuse that one can understand the derision shown by Finnish children towards Lebensborn children, it is inexcusable. Those mocking the lebensborn children should be glad that they were not born Lebensborn themselves. We bully other people for being who they are, but we could easily have been them.

  5.  @sebastiang7394  The harm has been done. True, but a bigger harm has been done by allowing the criminal to go unpunished. Not only do you hurt the family of the victim but you also make it unsafe for the rest of society.

  6.  @elisyaomorose957  Nonsense. No God would have wished the Holocaust. After all, the people who perished in it were His creation. Even religious people died in it, not just atheists or unbelievers.

  7.  @ns2110theonly  Yes, there are those who thrive in it, others who wither in it. Do not imply that those who wither in it are racist. If someone grew up in a devoutly Protestant home and abandoned his or her religion, it does not make him more of a hater than anyone else. Even a devoutly religious person may experience conflict between his or her religion and the outside world. His upbringing was just not to his or her taste. He or she should feel free to comment without being labelled.

  8. Difficult though it is, the sooner you break away from a stifling environment, the better it is. Of course, no-one likes to fall out with their family or friends, but that is the price you have to pay in order to move forward with your life. There are many who would like to do what she did but are unable to because they would not know how to make their way in the world. It takes some getting used to.

  9.  @barbarawebb7185  Many of the converts are more sincere than people born into the religion themselves. Those born into the religion accept it (I am not talking about those who want to break away. I am talking about those who do not want to break away) because they were not born into anything else, whereas a convert regards his adopted religion as something new.

  10.  @GazB85  I read of a twelve-year-old who murdered his foster mother, by jumping into her car and reversing when she stood behind him. By his own admission, he intended to steal the car. Do you not think that this is worthy of harsh punishment? Children commit far worse crimes than most adults.

  13.  @hansanders4983  Then it is the men who should be controlled. If you see a wild dog running in the street, biting people, would you control the people or the dog?

  15.  @hansanders4983  If you see a gold watch in the display window of your local jeweller's, would you steal it? No? Why not? Because you have the self-control not to. You know that it is wrong. Now, if you see a scantily dressed woman in the street, would you sexually harass her? Yes? Why? Because you do not have any self-control. You do not know that it is wrong. What is the difference? It is all in your mind and attitude.

  16. Can you imagine, Carling, not having a minute to yourself? Being in your pyjamas all day because you are tied up, looking after one baby after another? This alone can drive you mad.

  17.  @churblefurbles  No fear of that happening, Churble. She herself says that it is normal for them to have ten or twelve children. With this high number of births, there is no need to worry about anyone dying out.

  18.  @miam1074  A religion in which one gender controls the other is never a good one, just like any relationship - even an atheist one- is never good if one partner controls the other. A good relationship is based on equality and mutual trust, not domination and fear of the other partner.

  19.  @redfirebelle  In what scripture does it say that a woman has to get married? I think that it is a cultural thing, more to do with the harshness of life at the time. Blaming the scriptures for the compulsion of a woman to get married is the same as blaming the Protestant Church for Brexit.

  20.  @redfirebelle  There is nothing wrong with women dressing modestly if that is what they want to do, but, if it is FORCED on them, that becomes a problem. By that, I mean, being forced to dress in warm clothes on hot days and swelter in the heat. I do not mean showing one's cleavage.

  22.  @hitmanabhi007  Yes, but one does not have to insult people. I mean, one does not have to make fun of someone else's prophet, antagonise those who choose to wear a hijab, niqab or any other garment or item. We would not like it if someone mocked our jeans, T-shirts or mini skirts.

  23. I do not think that the Holocaust is an excuse for oppressing females. I think that part of the reason that women are oppressed is because they are blamed for the Fall of Man. Yes, I know it was only one female who brought death and other problems into the world but no-one here can blame her because she is dead, so instead they blame all females collectively. That said, one should move on from that type of attitude.

  24.  @Robodog69  You get young people today fighting other people even though they were not born at the time that the original problems started. Look at Northern Ireland, for example. It was a hotspot in the 1970's with both Catholics and Protestants killing each other during the Troubles. Nowadays, although it has calmed down somewhat, we still hear of Protestants and Catholics attacking each other, even though they themselves were not born during the Troubles. Things can pass from generation to generation.

  29. @@labhrasodochartaigh2733 Yes, but we do not have to insult other people's religious beliefs - that is not freedom of speech; that is hate speech. You would not like someone mocking your religion or even your absence of religion.

  31.  @hansanders4983  Men and women were created for each other for the purpose of reproduction, that is a perfectly rational thought. It only becomes irrational if one group of people seeks to control the other and dominate it. It is as simple as that.

  32.  @juniorlsdmusic  Because at that time, the world was a very primitive place. If you read the history of that time, people were little better than animals. They were uneducated, uncultured and there were few job prospects. Many jobs required brute strength. There was no machinery or technology to help them, so women were regarded as useless in the field of work at the time, but times progress and so should mankind. Most people do not want to live in primitive times. They want to move on. They want to live more comfortably. They do not want to live like pigs.

  36.  @kaashee  The topless women on Page 11 of The Sun WANT to be in that paper. They are there of their own free will. Here, we are talking about the subjugation of women. Women who are not free to live their lives as they wish or whose lives have been ruined by many years of subjugation.

  38.  @alk158  They do not refuse to have children just to spite the men. They choose not to have children because they do not like children, which is sad but a darned sight better than having children and then neglecting them.

  39.  @ladyofbast250 " The woman was deceived." Anyone can get deceived if they are told that God will create another human being to dominate over you if you do not eat the forbidden fruit. Eve did not really want to eat the forbidden fruit, the snake tempted her to do do. This is somewhat forgotten in this discussion here.
