Not even slightly to the extent that the Bible does, but I'm not particularly interested into getting into a game of 'but this tiny verse I've wildly taken out of context if you side eye it looks like it supports gome stuff and is against bad stuff tm'.

And talking about ISIS as a cult doesn't quite fit. Which model are you using to make that judgement? It doesn't operate in a way even the largest cults like Jonestown did. It's too decentralised and lacking in central figures. And that there are other motivators doesn't mean that religious belief isn't a huge motivating factor.

You're not interested in getting into a game of "this verse supports good stuff and not bad stuff," but you just played "this verse supports bad stuff and not good stuff"? Interpreting verses either matters or doesn't. (Honestly, I lean towards "it doesn't matter what a holy text actually says," but I was going with "it does matter" since I thought that's what you were going with.)

Thank you. I honestly don't have the energy to talk any more about this whole mess of issues for a while, but I think you made some really good points here.
