"To you they are theist, but to true theists like Jews, Christians and Muslims it's extremist misrepresenting God's words."
and I used ISIS as an example. I didn't deny them being theists. I questioned it for killing people of their same faith.

There is no such thing as a "true" theist, which you defined as Jews, Christians and Muslims. If you believe in any god, you are a theist, no matter your religion or interpretetions of the holy texts.
OK. Fine.

Do you honestly believe in this kind of punishment?
Simply, yes. It deters Muslim community from stealing. Sure stealing still happening and our authorities lean to other alternative punishments like:
- Paying high fine + Prison for unknown how long
- Lashing to starts from 40s and up. Depends on what an official judge see fit. Counting age, times a thief tried to steal. Until after 2nd or 3rd time of stealing, the judge will
Probably all 3 (fine + lash + prison)
- or the final judgement after meeting other requirements mentioned above
Because of outside influence from other countries, Saudi Arabia re-considered the Islamic laws of stealing. If a thief did steal again, cutting his hand is bound to happen, because stealing (Kleptomania) is a mental illness that in Islam's view, the only treatment is cutting one hand of a thief.

This thread is literally about the LGBTQ and their indirect cause to France's new law. You blame atheists for this new law, when religious and non-religious trans were actually the cause of it.
What is the point of the story of Lot that is shared in all the Abrahamic religions? This habit of homosexuality, where you think it came from? I understand very well that I'm being harsh and sounds like an asshole, but should I lie to a religious part of the LGBTQ?
