Another Question for Theists

Why do Christians cry about it being an infringement against their Freedom of Religion when they are asked a question they cannot answer?

And answer only this question.

Do not go off on other tangents such as: Give me an example question. Or ask your own questions.

Answer the question highlighted above.

For the exact same reasons

For the exact same reasons the Muslims begin crying "ISLAMAPHOBIA" every time you point out the heinous shit contained in their religion and its filthy text.

Even though I am not a Christian I will answer since the tile says theists and not Christians. Honestly, I don't understand your question, reason being is it doesn't make any sense for a Christian to say or do that. But, to answer, the only reason I can see that happening is due to that person not knowing or not wanting to answer a question.

Why Do some Muslims try to

Why Do some Muslims try to dishonestly misrepresent legitimate criticisms of their religions doctrine and dogma, by mendaciously trying to label it racist? I find the unwarranted accusation almost as offensive as the opportunistic racists who try to pretend their racism is a legitimate criticism of religious ideas.

When they theists can't say

When they theists can't say anything smart, adhominem, and blaming are the "go to" defensive maneuvers. Or, I suppose, theists could simply pretend not to know what the questioner is talking about.

I personally don't know any Muslims like that and don't do that. As with anything in this world (not only religion) there will always going to be people that will act like that. You ever met a SJW? Ever met a liberal? So making it seem like it's only limited to theists isn't true.

Sheldon's picture
Typical dishonest evasion

That's a silly straw man, as I never asked if you knew anyone like that. I asked "Why Do some Muslims try to dishonestly misrepresent legitimate criticisms of their religions doctrine and dogma, by mendaciously trying to label it racist? "

If you claim not to know then just say so.

Yet you choose to respond but ignore the question.

No, I have never met an sjw, I had never even heard of the term until on here a few weeks ago when someone threw the accusation at other posters in what was obviously an ad hominem fallacy, to avoid addressing what those posters had said. . Like Islamophobia I'm inclined to believe it is a made up term, that some people use to push their agenda, as it is far easier to label people with lazy stereotyping, than it is for them to address what those people have said. I have met people who would describe themselves as liberal yes, though I fail to see what your point is.

"So making it seem like it's only limited to theists isn't true."

Making what, seem like what, is limited to theists, doesn't make what true???

Oh, c'mon, Cog! That's not fair! Anybody and everybody knows that the people who do those things are not TRUE Muslims or followers of Islam.

Delayed edit to add: Okay, for the record, and to avoid any confusion, let it be known I jumped in here with that old and worn out "excuse" simply to be an ass and steal the thunder from any of the theists who might have been drooling to make that statement themselves. Although, if interpreted in a different context, it could be seen as I used my Prophet Powers to predict it would be used, so I decided in my divine benevolence to save any potential theist posters the embarrassment of posting it themselves. Hmmmm..... *scratching chin*.... Yeah, I think I like that interpretation better.

I'm fairly certain Tin-man

I'm fairly certain Tin-man was being ironic.

You have also ignored Cog's post and simply used lazy stereotyping exactly as I asked you about in my post. So it seems you do know at least one Muslim "like that" as you're clearly like that since you just behaved in exactly that way. If Cog's points are wrong address them, with counter examples and explain why he is wrong, your bare dismissal just illustrates my point.

I also think it's pretty hypocritical of you to talk about others hating, we have all read the religious bigotry and prejudice you have posted on here. Save your prayers,, that's just a smug attempt to be condescending as you know atheists don't care about such superstitious nonsense.

At least we are in agreement - "They Exist" So there really is no reason for the comment that you don't know any. I can introduce you to a whole bunch. There is a mosque that teaches hatred of westerners only a mile away from my house. Reporters have gone in secretly and videotaped the classes. "Don't wear your hair like a non-muslim. Don't dress like a non-muslim. Don't make friends with non-muslims. And this is what they teach to children.

AND THE BEST PART OF YOUR POST - WHEN CONFRONTED WITH - (FACTS - VIDEOS - AND NEWS ITEMS ) PLEASE EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING!!!!

While I highly doubt anything you're saying is true, even if it is I still don't see what your point is. Also, just FYI, because I am choosing not to address every point you have mentioned does not mean I even slightly agree with you, I am just choosing to save myself the headache of arguing with a monkey. As I said before, seems Islam Is living rent free in your head. Unfortunately, it's the twisted and extremist version which is taken way out of context. Good luck

"I am just choosing to save myself the headache of arguing with a monkey. "

What a truly appalling thing to say, you owe him an apology, and I think we can all see who is a religious bigot here yet again, and the only thing you're sparing is the pretence of having any cogent thoughts of your own, other than the superstitious guff you have been indoctrinated to believe, and are incapable of objectively questioning.

"As I said before, seems Islam Is living rent free in your head. Unfortunately, it's the twisted and extremist version which is taken way out of context. "

Are you saying that version doesn't exist? What makes you right and them wrong? You have no more evidence for your version of the superstition than they do, and the texts often support their version more than they do yours. Any chance you'll grow up and answer some questions, or is evasion and ad hominem all you have?

So there is a context in which all the FACTS, VIDEOS, EVIDENCE, NEWS ARTICLES, ATROCITIES AND HORRORS OF ISLAM IN THE WORLD TODAY is acceptable? Please continue, I would love to hear this context! I'm all ears.

People doing atrocities in

People doing atrocities in name of their religion aside. There are clearly religious people, recognized as 'Good' people by their own religious peers. That for irrelevant reasons might do something 'Bad'.

Now, what bothers me the most, is how easily a 'Good theist' can become a 'Bad theist', as deemed by his own peers. If anything, it seems to show the apparent inability of religion to ensure moral behavior. As well as people judging others with the same set of beliefs, based on ... well, it can't be the same set of beliefs now, can it? Else any atrocity would be justifiable. Instead, Theists seem awful quick to resort to something else rather than their own religion.

Then, what could be more important than religion to even religious folks?

It becomes painfully apparent, how religion has nothing to do with morals.

And saying it's just another interpretation of a certain religious message is plain absurd in this case. It's the same as admitting that your religion is flawed, and needs a correction. Doesn't sound like the perfect word of God, that religion claims itself to be, now does it?

Sky Pilot's picture
Muashkis,

Muashkis,

People make a serious mistake when they start thinking that religion is about morals. Religion is about obedience and loyalty to the Boss. That's all it is. It has zero to do with morality.

I can't speak for Christians but, Muslims do not believe in torturing anyone who does not believe in Allah. Not even apostates. Sure, there are those extremists that don't understand what they are reading and think they are here to judge everyone but, that goes against the basics of Islamic teachings. So to answer your question, the answer is hateful extremist

"Muslims do not believe in

"Muslims do not believe in torturing anyone who does not believe in Allah. Not even apostates. "

Absurd nonsense, clearly there are Muslims who believe this very thing, to deny it is as absurdly stupid as trying to pretend all Muslims are the same.

"Sure, there are those extremists that don't understand what they are reading and think they are here to judge everyone"

So then there demonstrably are Muslims who believe this, and you just contradicted yourself. Or are you using the imbecilic No True Scotsman fallacy yet again, even though you know it is spurious?

"that goes against the basics of Islamic teachings."

"Quran (4:89) - "They wish that you reject Faith, as they have rejected (Faith), and thus that you all become equal (like one another). So take not Auliya' (protectors or friends) from them, till they emigrate in the Way of Allah (to Muhammad). But if they turn back (from Islam), take (hold) of them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither Auliya' (protectors or friends) nor helpers from them." "

You sir are a lying hypocrite, and they may be extremists but their appalling views accurate reflect koranic texts like the one above. Mohammed was a sadistic warlord and paedophile, so claiming his teachings form a good moral compass for decent people in the 21st century is asinine.

It's also clear from previous posts that you are yourself a "hateful extremist", as we have all seen your bigoted religious prejudices against gay and transgender people.

"But as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them; boiling fluid will be poured down on their heads; Whereby that which is in their bellies, and their skins too, will be melted; And for them are hooked rods of iron. Every time they seek to get away therefrom, from anguish, they will be driven back therein, and it will be said to them: "Taste the torment of burning!"" qur'an 22:19-22

In actuality there are very few "good" parts of the Bible. Almost all of the Old Testament is evil. There's only a few paragraphs in the New Testament that can be rated as "good".

Twelve years ago I lived next door to an Imam. He was a wonderful and gentle man, and his wife and child were also truly nice. But what I was witnessing was one end of an extreme. Just like christians, they run from one end of extreme to another. There are christians who would not harm anything, and others who live at the far end of extreme fundamentalism and violence.

My point is (and it is just my opinion) that under the large umbrella of christianity or Islam, or any other religion, there exist extremes. You are a subset of a subset of a larger group. Just like religion or polotics, or gay rights or atheism, there are extremes but all of them fall under the same umbrella.

Own your religion, and own all that happens under the name of Islam. I am sure you disagree with their viewpoints and actions, but they took their beliefs from the very same book you do.
