But the point is, every time religion is brought up as a specific point, you whatabout to China under the guise of looking at "what motivates humans." But the topic here is religion, not everything that motivates humans.

You do this in order to prevent criticism of religion and religious views. You then demonize and attack anyone who points it out. Like you will do to me now again.

Or, if you want to finally turn the page and show that you can engage in actual discussion instead of whataboutism and insults, you can address my original post in which I expressed my concern whenever a religious believer claims to know what their god wants. Do you think it's possible for a human being to *know* what their god wants?
