The Religion Thread

[Mr.B]

"B I'm not sure you're dishonest or just slow witted."
Let's just say I'm slow-witted.

"You claimed I defended Islam."
What did you do then? You jumped on my case over something I heard quoted some time ago.
A captured Muslim once stated that he was raised to believe that Christians and Jews were dogs and were to be killed.

"See here's the problem with religious nuts, you all think your opinion is something more than your opinion. But the fact is,
your opinion that Jesus is the son of God, is just that. An opinion."
I'll take being a "religious nut" over a plain nut any time. It's not my opinion, it's my belief. You have your beliefs (or non-beliefs),
and I have mine.

"And you do know what they say about opinions right?"
Well, yeah......and your remarks are "your opinion". Everybody has one....or they're being one.
Where do you fit in?

Okay but the rest of your response indicates you're dishonest as well.

I jumped on your case? Hardly. Perhaps you're just too touchy. What you did is you claimed "Muslims" (as in all Muslims) believe in killing non-Muslims and as proof quoted the Koran. What you call my "jumping on your case" was my quoting basically the same thing from the Bible. Are you ready to admit I haven't defended Islam? That's what an honest person would do.

"Are you ready to admit I haven't defended Islam? That's what an honest person would do."

OK, OK, already! You didn't defend Islam! Happy now? You did debase religion though..... link

No more so than you denigrated Apple computers. Link

Why do you hate technology?

And just when I thought you had no ability to laugh. Good for you. Although reluctantly, you've also shown yourself to have at least a little more integrity than Vrede. So double good for you.

I quoted just 1/2 hour ago an error of mine that perhaps no one would have ever called me on:

Good luck linking us to you doing the same, ever.

Solar logic. Birds of a feather emote together.

Yup, Megyn Kelly, a real intellectual heavyweight. Since it was written in
1892, they must have really hustled it in there to have it said in schools
in the 1800s. If it looks like an airhead, talks like an airhead, well just
maybe......

Kill a comm, er Muslim for Christ.

An eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth. I wonder what they did with all of them?

Right...that's the ticket.

Fed up with homosexuality, religious family takes ‘leap of faith’ and gets lost at sea

Hannah Gastonguay told the Associated Press she and her husband “decided to take a leap of faith and see where God led us.” The family, which included two small children, abandoned the United States and set sail for the island nation of Kiribati in May. They ended up lost in the Pacific Ocean for 91 days.

[O Really]

I'm pretty sure this won't stand, although I know little about family law and the authority of judges in determining names, but this has no feel of anything Constitutional. Question: does the judge have the authority to dictate a given name? Maybe - apparently the judge who disallowed "Hitler" has gotten away with it so far. Question: can the judge make her decision based on his personal religious grounds? I can't think of any way this works.

So where are the ones proposing laws prohibiting any application of Sharia law in the US? If you allow one, you have to allow all, don't you? Or not, in Republican America.

[Boatrocker]

Well, watching Florida hogging all the batshit crazy news for the last few weeks probably pushed some backwoods evangelical Tennessee judge over the edge, forcing her to take drastic measures and get TN back in the crazy lane.
NC, you're up.

[Boatrocker]

Alabama is again trying to get some 100+ yr old racial language removed from its constitution; we'll see what kind of backwoods bullshit the opposition comes up with to defeat such measures this time. Last time it was defeated on the basis of "it would make us fund education equally." Can't have any of that shit, now can we?
Red states are just idiot states.

Q: If you could live forever, would you and why?
A: "I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever."

Educational equality is a good thing, but I'd consider an exception for Alabama.
