Just one question: trotsky Nov 2013 #30

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

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

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

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

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

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
