Obviously we should not criticize peoples' ideas, because THAT would lead inexorably to book burning.

Are you advocating for genocide based on religion? cbayer Nov 2013 #2

His post got hidden. I did not alert but I am not surprised it was hidden. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #4

Good. Really, really ugly thing to say, cbayer Nov 2013 #7

You've said as much about atheists. trotsky Nov 2013 #18

Sorry ut that was not clear from his post and a jury agreed. I did not alert but he took his chances hrmjustin Nov 2013 #24

Just one question: trotsky Nov 2013 #30

Christianity. My question to you now is how do you make Christianity extinct? hrmjustin Nov 2013 #31

Ah, but no one said anything about *making* Christianity extinct. trotsky Nov 2013 #32

Nice try but you are excusing his we can only hope so comment. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #33

I am looking at exact words. trotsky Nov 2013 #34

Ok lets go with your logic. What do you think he meant? hrmjustin Nov 2013 #35

Again, this isn't my "logic," this is about precise language. trotsky Nov 2013 #36

The poster was making clear he wants Christianity extinct. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #37

It would have been nice to have a discussion about what he meant, wouldn't it? trotsky Nov 2013 #38

I agreed with the jury. His post was ugly. Wanting Christianity to be extinct is an ugly thing to hrmjustin Nov 2013 #39

This will be my last response to you. trotsky Nov 2013 #40

Oh please I never said deal with it wen it comes to issues when Christianity is wrong. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #41

Repeating the same thing over and over again doesn't make it true. Act_of_Reparation Nov 2013 #42

If you want the religion to go away what do you want to take the place of it? hrmjustin Nov 2013 #43

Care to explain how that question is relevant to this discussion? Act_of_Reparation Nov 2013 #45

Wanting people to give up their views like Christianity because you don't like it is what? hrmjustin Nov 2013 #46

Let me answer your question with a question: Act_of_Reparation Nov 2013 #48

That we have different views then their views. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #49

Then you have your answer. Act_of_Reparation Nov 2013 #55

The issue with Mr. Blur comment was he was agreeing with Christianity becoming extinct. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #56

Look at it like this: Act_of_Reparation Nov 2013 #59

I do not think he has "fascist or genocidal sympathies". hrmjustin Nov 2013 #61

Here at DU we would love to see many ideas become extinct. trotsky Nov 2013 #68

Um, it said christianity, not 'christians'. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #10

Glad the jury didn't take the "apologist" position you are taking... cbayer Nov 2013 #17

I'm sure the alerter made it clear how they thought it should be interpreted. trotsky Nov 2013 #19

Amazing how easily some people are threatened by ideas. BainsBane Nov 2013 #29

I know, right? It's not like an idea has ever hurt anyone... Act_of_Reparation Nov 2013 #44

Should we start banning books? BainsBane Nov 2013 #47

No, you have illuminated me to the errors of my ways. Act_of_Reparation Nov 2013 #50

Actually, the post I responded to wished those ideas to be eradicated BainsBane Nov 2013 #51

Excuse me? trotsky Nov 2013 #52

Was this not a discussion about the post hidden above? BainsBane Nov 2013 #54

Closely related... as in "almost" Act_of_Reparation Nov 2013 #57

far more closely related that "criticize" BainsBane Nov 2013 #58

No, not really. Act_of_Reparation Nov 2013 #60

When people forsake the subject matter BainsBane Nov 2013 #64

That poster never said he wanted CHRISTIANS to become extinct. cleanhippie Nov 2013 #62

Indeed. Try it yourself BainsBane Nov 2013 #63

Already got it. You are the one that needs it. Badly. cleanhippie Nov 2013 #69

No, they're different words. trotsky Nov 2013 #65

What makes you think I'm Christian? BainsBane Nov 2013 #66

Yeah, I find the homophobia and sexism that has been a hallmark of Christianity its entire history.. trotsky Nov 2013 #67

Yes, I'm sure you're tired of having it applied skepticscott Nov 2013 #21

No more than you were hoping for the death of Richard Dawkins skepticscott Nov 2013 #20

Hitler said that about the Jews. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #3

Post removed Post removed Nov 2013 #22

Find a link where Hitler said he wanted the Jews extinct? hrmjustin Nov 2013 #23

That's not what you claimed Hitler said skepticscott Nov 2013 #25

Hitler said on many occasions he wanted Judaism extinct. You are capable of finding your own quotes. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #26

Yes, he did skepticscott Nov 2013 #27

He may not have used those words but he did make clear he wanted them gone off the face of the hrmjustin Nov 2013 #28

Ok. Thank you for making it clearer. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #12

I'm going to delete that. I didn't read the article, just the headline/synopsis. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #13

Good idea. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #14

Yeah, I missed the whole genocide bit. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #15

I am guilty of not reading things sometimes. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #16

Wow, JimboBillyBubbaBob Nov 2013 #53

If there is one thing this thread has definitely proven... eqfan592 Nov 2013 #70

Well you take your chances with a jury. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #71

TBH, I've never been a fan of a jury system when it comes to forums. eqfan592 Nov 2013 #72

That is a fair critique. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #73
