Why don't they just change their religion?

If these people are being persecuted for their religious beliefs to the point that they are prepared to risk their lives on a rusty boat in the middle of the Ocean why dont they simply change their religion? Malaysia orders search for boatpeople as Myanmar hosts talks

And lets change our language to German.

It is ridiculous to suggest that people can change their supernatural, invisible friend on a whim, delusions are sometimes too strong to alter.

Why don't you just stop being a twat?

Blackadder: It is so often the way, sir, too late one thinks of what one should have said. Sir Thomas More, for instance, burned alive for refusing to recant his Catholicism, must have been kicking himself, as the flames licked higher, that it never occurred to him to say, "I recant my Catholicism"

You're sooo edgy! Good on you, recapturing your youth and keeping yourself on par with those 14 year olds who troll forums.

I don't believe I've mentioned whether I have any mode of religious beliefs or not? However, I do understand that some people do, and can give them the respect of not going out of my way to belittle or insult them, even if I don't share their beliefs.

It's one of those "being an adult about things" situations that you may one day understand.

Of course, there are groups who I will happily belittle or mock, but when I do I try to be a little bit inventive or original about how I do it. Your comment just demonstrates a lack of intelligence on your part, that you couldn't even make an interesting insult.

That proves you are a better person than I am.
I am unable to offer people of any religion anything other than derision and contempt.
