It is stupid to compare politicla correctness to the rules of a religion

"My opponent claims it is stupid to compare the rules of political correctness to the rules of religion. He quoted my claim in his list of the top ten most stupid things said on DDO."Quick clarification: Episodes function by only posting stupid quotes that were said within the last two weeks. Your quote was in the list of the top ten stupidest things said on DDO within the past two weeks."In supporting his claim [1] Pro argued that conservative opposition to abortion, recreational drugs, and gay marriage are akin to religious rules as well. I most certainly did not. I mentioned that conservatives opposed things like abortion, drug legalization, etc to illustrate the point that it is not just the left or even mostly the left who are opposing personal freedoms, whereas in your quote you implied that the left were "extraordinarily" trying to restrict personal freedoms. That part of my rebuttal was not the argument against comparing the rules of poltical corectness to that of a religion, it was an argument against the notion that the left are the ones trying to impose extraordinary restrictions on personal freedoms like you claimed."Few of the rules of religion are written down and well organized. Christians cite the Ten Commandments, but Christian sects go on to derive intricate rules that govern everyday life."Just about every religion in the world has some sort of holy book or a collection of holy texts which all have lessons or rules that it dictates people should live their lives by, and all of those rules are written down at some point within those holy texts or holy books which are the centerpieces of religious instruction..... The left and the right in the US do not have such a holy book or collection of holy texts where all of the rules the parties try to enforce are written down or listed in any fashion like that of any religion. "In general, religious rules govern matters as what believers should eat, how they organize their lives, and many seemingly inconsequential details. Political correctness mirrors that."How does political correctness mirror that though? If you ask anybody on this site what the rules of political correctness are, most of the responses you will get will be 'What the hell are you talking about?' or something similar....============================================================================================I have the BoP to prove that comparing political correctness to the rules of a religion is stupid. I maintain that such a comparison is stupid to make because 1) There is no set of formal laws and rules that the left lives by and tries to enforce like that of a religion. The same is true of those on the right2) The left nor the right have any sort of holy book or collection of holy texts center to their beliefs that at one point explicitly lists the rules that people should live by or try to enforce3) The rules of religion deal with who you should worship, how you should worship them, what your ethical and moral code should be centered around, etc........ Political correctness does not dictate how people should worship or who they should worship, among other things that religious laws dictate4) The rules of a religion can often be easily recalled and recognized (like the 10 commandments) whereas people question whether or not the rules of political correctness are even a real thing.
