There is only one Commandment in the Religion Group [View all] MineralMan Apr 2018 OP

And agreement is NOT a requirement. trotsky Apr 2018 #1

Very good point. Pendrench Apr 2018 #2

Furthermore, they mistake disagreement as a prohibition. Mariana Apr 2018 #3

Well and some just do it for their massive fan club, I guess. trotsky Apr 2018 #4

That too. nt. Mariana Apr 2018 #5

Misframing is also silly. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #12

There goes teh irony meter again Lordquinton Apr 2018 #19

I replace mine nearly every day. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #31

The freedom to promote religion must also include freedom to deprecate it Major Nikon Apr 2018 #9

A very weak argument, filled with straw. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #11

Anyones guess what you mean Major Nikon Apr 2018 #13

An observation. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #14

I dont have a problem if you dont want to support your opinion Major Nikon Apr 2018 #15

I am not convinced of many things about some posters. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #16

So you think its all about you? Major Nikon Apr 2018 #18

You nailed one of the main obstacles Lordquinton Apr 2018 #20

The same theme is repeated around the world Major Nikon Apr 2018 #21

We're told not to broad brush Lordquinton Apr 2018 #22

There's also the fact that some are not here to discuss religion. Mariana Apr 2018 #24

Who is privileged? guillaumeb Apr 2018 #30

You really have to ask right after posting your 85% stat? Major Nikon Apr 2018 #35

You're talking to someone who mocked atheist recipients of death threats. Mariana Apr 2018 #37

That sounded like a sermon. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #39

Everyone has privilege of various types Major Nikon Apr 2018 #48

So, welcome to privilege. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #51

Everyone is entitled to express their opinion. Some are just more relevant than others. Major Nikon Apr 2018 #52

Some learn from their privilege and lack thereof and apply those lessons to other social settings Major Nikon Apr 2018 #53

And recognizing when one has no empathy is also important. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #55

No argument there Major Nikon Apr 2018 #57

In the religion group Lordquinton Apr 2018 #41

And in the atheists and agnostics group? guillaumeb Apr 2018 #44

If you think atheists and agnostics have privilege Major Nikon Apr 2018 #46

If you are an American, you have privilege. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #47

The unwillingness to discuss a specific privilege without obvious diversion provides its own answer Major Nikon Apr 2018 #54

And using the term in an attempt to shut down dialogue is also an answer. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #56

You are certainly entitled to that opinion Major Nikon Apr 2018 #58

And if you have two people Eko Apr 2018 #60

Like I said Lordquinton Apr 2018 #64

Some ignorance is willful Major Nikon Apr 2018 #50

That's why believers always lose debates. JNelson6563 Apr 2018 #28

But they're always certain that they've won the debates Mariana Apr 2018 #29

Astounding, isn't it? JNelson6563 Apr 2018 #36

In case I was misunderstood: THERE IS NO 11TH COMMANDMENT HERE! MineralMan Apr 2018 #6

But if someone spams a thread saying it enough times Mariana Apr 2018 #7

Nah. It's just a weak argument. MineralMan Apr 2018 #8

Yes, we know that there are many weak arguments posted here. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #49

Again, the irony is amusing. MineralMan Apr 2018 #59

"Le seul Narcisse coupable est celui qui trouve les autres laids." guillaumeb Apr 2018 #61

There was someone (in)famous who said that Lordquinton Apr 2018 #23

Where would one go to find that 11th Commandment? guillaumeb Apr 2018 #17

You'll find it sitting next to the creator Lordquinton Apr 2018 #42

The Creator is inseperable from the creation. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #45

Hey, if you want to live in never-ending pain so bad that all you can do is scream Eliot Rosewater Apr 2018 #27

But, but, "Thou shalt not sweat it" is the only one I know!!!! n/t rzemanfl Apr 2018 #62

And as is obvious from the comments of a very few, guillaumeb Apr 2018 #10

They are really forcing this meme Lordquinton Apr 2018 #25

Pathetic, really. MineralMan Apr 2018 #26

They don't realize it's only harming them Lordquinton Apr 2018 #33

Irony squared. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #32

Ok Lordquinton Apr 2018 #34

Not at all. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #38

Not until you showed up Lordquinton Apr 2018 #40

It is interesting how that was received. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #43

There is certainly something to be learned from the effort Major Nikon Apr 2018 #63
