    This is absolutely self harm that is caused by a mentally disturbed individual that is trying to achieve the nonexistent.

    That kind of mental instability can lead to any number of self harm or escalation of hurting others in the name of any god or religion.

    Religion needs to be wiped out through education, mental health services and ultimately taxation and banning from all political systems.

      I didn’t ask about self harm. I asked about others. Are you afraid you’re going to harm yourself, or that a religious person could harm you? How is an individual’s beliefs your business if they don’t impact you? You sincerely believe that the way to solve religious persecution by some is to persecute all of the religious?
