I shouldn’t also have to remind you this is the religion group, so if you want to discuss white privilege or economic privilege there’s better forums for it. Meanwhile you are in a poor position to understand religious privilege because you lack the experience of not having it. So rather than being so dismissive of the subject you’d probably benefit from listening more and preaching less.

Just saying.

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

Damn near performance art Lordquinton Apr 2018 #65

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
