I hope that people who still think religions "make people better than they would otherwise be" are happy now.
I .. I'm just ashamed of what's happening over here these days. Free speech appears to be an absolute illusion. It's all well and good until you say something even remotely related or critical of a popular personality. Then, it's jungle law.
I hope that people who still think religions "make people better than they would otherwise be" are happy now.

Really ? The guy tweeting seems legit but even timesofindia has this story: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/21-year-old-girl-ar... Also the vandalism of the clinic definitely happened.
the text is the same, they could just be reposting it from mumbaimirror without a lot fact checking

It's still alarming that they were vandalized over a facebook post and the police is looking into possible criminal liability.
Also, the news reports talk specifically of what sections of law the girls were booked under. Doesn't sound so fake because of that.
The story is false https://twitter.com/SreenivasanJain/status/27039450506319462...

With that said, the story doesn't have much to do with religion. The guy who funeral they said shouldn't matter was a political leader, not a priest.
The guys that sued/prosecuted the girls did mention "hurting religious sentiments", but that was merely because that was the only semi-plausible accusation under law (since it was a funeral).
In actuality it was a political chase -- people thought they insulted their dear party leader.
(Oh, and it's not like the police arrested them for what they did. The police detained them temporarily just because they had to: that's the law when such an accusation is made, even for someone who didn't do anything).

When you generalize like that you're being narrow minded as the people you're criticizing. Instead, like Feynman, you should take what's best from religion to improve yourself, and ignore the rest. History shows the average human being is stupid, so don't be average.
