WarrenWatsa Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 There are religions out there that allow minors to be married, 4 wives to one man, a virtue act would be to kill those who do not believe the same religion. Or, in other words, a virtue only applies to those of the same religion, because those who do not follow it are not really "human", or worthy of our moral behavior. I don't know of any religion like that. If you're implicitly referring to Islam, you clearly don't know much about what it teaches. None of what you wrote is allowed in Islam [yes four wives are theoretically allowed for a man, but, only if certain conditions are met with regard to how much time and resources would be spent with (and given) to each wife]. If you're so gullible or arrogant as to believe that a religion such as the one you describe is in fact practiced by even a small part of the world's population, let alone a quarter of it, then you're either a complete fool or an utter bigot.
