No diagbosis was made. Warren Stupidity May 2015 #49

I"ll take the guy with the imaginary friend over the guy without one in this scenario anyway. cbayer May 2015 #51

What would you call a person who believes in imaginary beings and does what those Warren Stupidity May 2015 #55

Outside the context of religion that's a pretty fair assessment I doubt too many would argue with Major Nikon May 2015 #97

Why do you suspect that? boomer55 May 2015 #70

Because she wants you to think that she has some authority here that you should be in awe of. Warren Stupidity May 2015 #72

The Koran and Hadiths... MellowDem May 2015 #16

So, hate speech is OK as long as it's not acted upon? Yorktown May 2015 #100

You're arguing about the importance of the Koran Rob H. May 2015 #22

So what? I'm arguing about the writings in a text being less important cbayer May 2015 #50

You still do not understand Yorktown May 2015 #54

I don't think you are correct in your assertion. MADem May 2015 #53

I don't demand they act fundamentalist... MellowDem May 2015 #57

Yes, that is what you are doing. You are insisting that they follow their religion the way YOU want MADem May 2015 #66

Bullshit... MellowDem May 2015 #67

Typical crazed muslin, as compared to the sane and rational Christian who is planning this. arcane1 May 2015 #27

Actally, Ritzheimer is a self-declared atheist. rug May 2015 #36

Darn, my sarcasm was poorly calibrated arcane1 May 2015 #37

I say he should demonstrate the courage of his convictions and have it in MECCA. Vincardog May 2015 #31

Why's that? Goblinmonger May 2015 #65

He would be surrounded by Muslims instead of Baptists. Who better to judge the contest? Vincardog May 2015 #69

This makes no sense. Why would an atheist care one way or the other ladjf May 2015 #42

Because of its potential danger to democracy? Yorktown May 2015 #46

I don't buy that reasoning. To me, it seems ladjf May 2015 #58

That particular event, yes. Yorktown May 2015 #63

If he's an atheist troll, it's a sure way to find victims. immoderate May 2015 #52

He's a hateful bigot. It has nothing to do with his atheism, imo. cbayer May 2015 #56

Yours is the most likely explanation. ladjf May 2015 #59

Thanks ladjf! cbayer May 2015 #60

Well at least you have a boat. I am boatless. ladjf May 2015 #61

I wish for you one day to have one of those things or cbayer May 2015 #62

I've already had them all. But, ladjf May 2015 #71

Sure, because hating on people for making depictions of Muhammad is not at all like being a dick Major Nikon May 2015 #77

Oh, not, that would be very dickish indeed. cbayer May 2015 #78

I'm sure it did Major Nikon May 2015 #79

Well, if there was a negative response, it didn't get any press. cbayer May 2015 #80

He is a Charlie Hebdo Major Nikon May 2015 #81

Charlie Hedbo has content. It's political satire that pushes the edges. cbayer May 2015 #83

The content in question is religious satire Major Nikon May 2015 #85

Ok, feel free to put them in the same category. cbayer May 2015 #86

How many Charlie Hebdo cartoons have you seen? Major Nikon May 2015 #87

I've seen a lot of them, why? cbayer May 2015 #88

Why would bigotry filter it on my end? cbayer May 2015 #90

I've already told you what I think Major Nikon May 2015 #91

I agree with the title at your last link - Charlie Hebdo is heroic and racist. cbayer May 2015 #92

You do realize you just contradicted yourself, yes? Major Nikon May 2015 #93

No, I did not. I said that I did not think CH was pursuing a bigoted agenda cbayer May 2015 #94

So CH is a racist, but not a bigot Major Nikon May 2015 #95

You are so adept at pouncing on the message while never really showing your hand. cbayer May 2015 #96

I've only ever seen CH throw racism back in the faces of actual racists. AtheistCrusader May 2015 #104

Whether one finds their work racist or not is a matter of opinion, but cbayer May 2015 #106

Case in point. Warren Stupidity May 2015 #111

Ah, a non-answer. rug May 2015 #112

Knowing some surahs teach hate of the unbelievers, which side would you have been on? Yorktown May 2015 #113

In terms of this demonstration, absolutely I oppose the armed assholes stalking this mosque. rug Jun 2015 #114

I oppose both Yorktown Jun 2015 #115

The demonstrastors opposing the assholes were both Musllim and non-Muslim. rug Jun 2015 #116

Non muslims in the counter demonstration were useful idiots (Lenin's terms) Yorktown Jun 2015 #117

Why, I believe you jjust answered which side you're on. rug Jun 2015 #118
