Woke?

A great number of muslims (and jews and christians) are largely ignorant of what their "holy" book says, therefore criticizing based on the scriptures is a huge logical fallacy.

Don't mean tosay you shouldn't criticize them. Just that you're doing it the wrong way (and are a colossal hypocrite if you're a jew/christian while doing that).

Yep, right on all counts. The only difference is you're allowed to call out the christians and the jews when /they/ espouse those views. Call out a muslim with those views and you're "islamophobic", that's the point of the meme.

I agree. muslims have a variety of beliefs like Christians do. And they both have their extreme-right fanatics trying to impose their own view.

^^oh look leftists sycophants.

What? Now having a traditional family is f**king nazism? Seriously, no personal offense but f**k right off.

SydneyB, ColonelGylbert here is a German who thinks he knows more about the America he doesn’t live in than actual Americans. His opinion on this country is and will always be moot unless he chooses to
move here.

I know all about Gilbert. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have the right to express his opinion. God knows I express my opinion on Merkel and Germany.

And it honestly looks like the guy is on my heels. He has commented on my more recent memes and comments and attacking me baselessly and without provocation. I am honestly considering the merit of reporting him, I wouldn't say this is stalking or some such but still, certainly irritating.

No. I was pointing out that having a normal family doesn't make Right Wing Extrimisim any less bad, calm down.

You sure? Or did you mean white families bad cuz muh Hitler? You missed his point that there are those that consider having a traditional family 'right wing extremism'. But those that do are extremists as well, just on the other side.

"You sure"

Yes

"You missed his point that there are those that consider having a traditional family 'right wing extremism'"

Oh, I thought he was pointing out that Right Wing Radicals aren't bad cause they have families. My bad

She just gets worse and worse. I thought she turned the corner, she was working with Ted Cruz, doing a couple other things buuut nooooo, she had to go off the deep end.

Yeah, I get that sometimes too. Don't let it get to you. Reporting probably won't do anything. Too much reporting and flagging here anyways. Debates can get heated then it blows over. here, my new aoc meme. Maybe you'll like it XD imgflip.com/i/33t3z0

Ha! That meme! XD

Scroll down this thread to hos comment below the last Afgan village pic I posted to see a delightful bucket of brainwashed PC sanitized deliberate lies.

Here's the link in case it's not easy to find:

You should have stopped after you typed "I don't think". That explained everything about you.

Criticizing jews is pretty dangerous as well. One guy from France went to jail for 6 months and had to pay a fine of 8000€ and was accused of inciting racial hatred for doing that.

Yeah, but that's France, not Wahmerica.

Speaking in general, regardless of where you live in. It's easy anywhere to get accused of antisemitism if you talk too much for too long.

Mmmm.... Nope, I've never had any trouble with that.

Of course, I don't phrase it as "you have those beliefs because you're a Muslim" because there are plenty of gay Muslims who prove that is not the issue.

Not all Christians think that way. I am against people being homosexual, but I believe that’s extreme. Women should have equal rights as men. This view comes from me, a Christian.

Equal rights for women? That goes against the Bible. Die heretic!

The Bible says husbands, submit to your wives, too, you know. Also, those were different times.

Yep, it promotes unity between man and wife but with structure. Not in an oppressive way at all.

I guess I must have misread this bit then. "St Paul's advice in 1 Timothy 2:12, in which the saint says: "I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, she must be silent." Then there is this..... “Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.” (Ephesians 5:22)

but not forget condoning slavery.

No. 10: “Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.” (1 Peter 2:18)

You can't cherry pick the bits you like, the Koran and the Bible are vile and nasty pieces of work and have no place in modern humanity

Talk about cherry picking. The Bible says to render to Caesar, last I checked slavery is illegal. But yeah, the 10 commandments are really vile, don't lie, don't steal, don't kill, really comparable to the koran.

Yes, cherry picking exactly. It likes saying, I know that man is a pedophile but he does a lot of work for charity, so stop picking on only the bad things he does.

It will probably make you sad to know, that the Bible is actually more violent than the Koran. Luckily for us in the West we caged the demon of organised religion, the Church has no power over us to abuse or oppress politically, unfortunately that cannot be said in countries where Islam is the main religion. They will have their reformation too, what the printing press did for Christianity, the internet will do to Islam.

Most Christians don't focus on the old testament. And there's a hell of a lot more violence and terrorism coming from Islam than Christianity. Horrible analogy.

I've read it and studied it. I know what's there. But, yeah, society is so much better after Christian values have receeded. I agree with you on your last sentence tho.

Octavia what would you do if you met Jesus Christ right now?

Why is that. The bible says every knee will bow

Hallelujah to that.

Octavia doesn't realize it but he'll be sorry on judgment day. I hope he repents and escapes damnation

What bad ones?

Dude you are taking that out of context. Jesus is looking for you to put everything aside and follow him

I believe in that case he was being sarcastic because most felt that way in his environment. Another anti Christian brought that up and I researched it but that's all I can remember right now and i know it won't placate you but i'll look into it.

Again, context of the time matters. You could sell YOURSELF into 'slavery' to get out of debt in biblical times. The commandments gave them a day off when most of the world worked 7 days a week. After 7 years, they, and everyone, would have their debts cleared if they hadn't already worked it off. That 'slavery' wasn't the later muslim castration one or the American whip, chain and lynch one.

Yeah, but this 'cult leader' had their best interests at heart. The Bible is filled with history (wars, movement, peoples, practises) and philosophy. Read Ecclesiastes. Or Jesus's parables. It's not all muh apple and snakes and talking Donkeys. They thought the Hittites were a myth until 150 years ago. If you open your heart and read, it'll come through but I needed guidance and explanation because I ain't smart and it goes deep. I saw how passages from multiple books all fit together towards the same teaching. It's like playing a piano. Mashing keys get you nowhere but when you know keys, chords, roots etc, then you make beautiful music. There's a real reason why the canon of the Bible is what it is. For example, book of Enoch contradicts the hell out of basic themes in all the books.

Seriously, i was always agnostic until 10 years ago. I hated organized religion worse then you, just another fedora tipper. I mean, i hated it.

I like fedoras.

The Bible is all you need

I believe that's what is called a circular argument. "The bible is proof because the bible says so" kind of thing.

Does that mean Colin Kapernkick is a true American hero? lol

No lol

So are atheists and agnostics who feel the same way. In other words, anyone who feels that way, regardless of religious affiliation or lack there of.
