Absurdity I object to.
ISIS is ALL religion. It's not politics, economics, or anything else. Try as you and other apologists for religion might, there is no denying it IMHO.

Where do I say I am on a mission? cbayer Mar 2015 #27

You did.. haikugal Mar 2015 #56

Say what? There were questions being asked as to where this was coming from. cbayer Mar 2015 #57

Are you speaking on behalf of the OP here? bvf Mar 2015 #13

No, I'm not. Why do you ask? cbayer Mar 2015 #15

Heh. bvf Mar 2015 #17

He makes an absurd assumption. Cartoonist Mar 2015 #22

You said that ISIS represented "the true meaning of religion", which is what triggered this. cbayer Mar 2015 #28

You also assume too much Cartoonist Mar 2015 #29

ISIS is the embodiment of religion? cbayer Mar 2015 #30

You are probably right, but I haven't completely given up yet. cbayer Mar 2015 #38

Sounds like you got a good bead on all kinds of behavior to me. Thanks for the input. freshwest Mar 2015 #24

Thanks for the exposure ... haikugal Mar 2015 #72

See post 8. Whether it is a straw man or not is really a matter of perspective. cbayer Mar 2015 #45

Because some religious groups currently proclaim that this is one of their values. Warren Stupidity Mar 2015 #26
