See above. No one can stop you from identifying as part of that religion, but if you act on it and murder and eat someone, you'll be punished appropriately.

But wouldn't it be better to ban the religion in the first place to prevent a bunch of cannibals running round eating people? That makes more practical sense doesn't it.

Stomping out a disease before it spreads makes more sense than treating it afterwards.

In US they don't go to jail but in Europe they do, and that brings a lot of things into debate
That sucks.

You're correct, because banning people from doing things always stops them from doing it. That's why murders, thefts, rapes, assaults, kidnappings, and arson never happen anymore.

You do realize that you already are banned from killing and eating people, right? And, as you said before, religions are a system of beliefs. How do you ban beliefs? How do you stop someone from thinking the way they do? You can't ban a religion because, even with a ban, you can't force beliefs out of someone's head.

Better than if murder or arson were legal now is it?

Imagine if murder became legal? Surely we would become the wild west again

Are you implying that cannibalism in the name of your religion is legal?

Im saying that banning insane religions for safety is just like banning murder.

Because it works better that way.

Once again, you cannot ban beliefs, you can only ban the actions that these beliefs can yield. And that is already the case with religions.

  • Kill slavs
  • A dead slav is good
  • Slavs are the inferior race
Which beliefs should be banned and which shouldn't?

Why not just ban the books of the harmful religion. That will slow down the beliefs from spreading.

That was what China did during the cultural revolution and now no rebel dares fight them.

In fact, they don't have terrorism. Thats because they rule with an iron fist.

Already been happening. Mein Kampf, for example, has been banned across several stores and schools.

what is wrong with banning books preaching terrorism?

Just say the name of the book. Your trying to bait me to agree, and then you're gonna go "So you think you-know-what should be banned too, right?" Cut the foreplay and say it.

Incorrect. This is a crude categorization and a faulty premise. This is like saying because we allow hugging people, then we should allow strangling people because they are both actions involving physical contact with another person.

They may be all beliefs, but some are harmful, or entail harmful details. We allow the ones that aren't, and exclude the ones that are.

Wise man.

Religion is already a stupid premise, don't need to ban it let people waste their lives in whatever fashion they see fit.
