Things that made you smile today (Political Version)

[time4fun]

Yeah, well, no. I AM factually correct in my assessment of Muslims. "Mainstream" Islam is a treasure trove of human rights violations, at least according to what we currently accept as being such in the US. The fact that the "fringe" Islamic groups are absolutely barbaric does nothing to diminish the "lesser" violations that are hard-coded into the religion.

The left CONSTANTLY rails against ignorant religious practices and traditions...but only if they're Christian.

Here's a quick history lesson...these are both Abrahamic religions. Muslims believe in Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David...they recognize the Old Testament, along with Christians and Jews. However, they believe that Muhammad is the real prophet, not Jesus, and they base the entirety of their belief system on the recordings of Muhammad's "word", some 600 years after Jesus.

Basically, it goes like this:

Old Testament:
Jews: That's it, prophet hasn't showed up yet, we're done here.
Christians: Nope, Jesus is the Son, New Testamant.
Muslims: Nope, Muhammad is the Prophet, Quran.

NONE OF THIS EFFECTIVELY MATTERS.

You either believe in your religion, and believe what you think your religion says, and that is the supreme thing in your life, or you don't.

If you don't, then you are "secular", and you base your opinions on logic, not on what you think some flying spaghetti monster tells you to think.

If you base your opinions on logic, you should be able to bring yourself to call out human rights violations, regardless of the source.

STOP IT WITH THE TRIBALISM. JUST STOP IT.

We're never going to progress as a global community as long as we keep this shit up.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Sorry, but you just don't.

If you have anything of substance, I'd gladly hear it.

I have to partially agree with time4fun here, I know people of many different faiths that are extremely intelligent. Talked to a Muslim couple up at Subway this evening, her husband teaches computer science at the university. I think your understanding of religion is not so good.

It's so nice that you've graduated from flinging homophobia at people via comments you thought were anonymous, to doing so openly. Don't worry, nobody forgot about what kind of person you are.

I know.. ageism is so hip and cool and new.. but OMG DON'T CALL A FAG A FAG OR IT'S SO FUCKING BAD!!!

Fuck you fag.

Feigning ignorance of the severity and unprecedented nature of the obstruction in the last decade -- especially of executive appointees -- only reflects on you, my deluded friend.

I'll translate: It's bad when the GOP did it, but it's awesome when the liberals do it because we're flaming hypocrites at the core anyways....

I bet time4fun thinks this is a documentary:

We have to ponder whether Parkbandit would use these phrases in person or not. What other slurs might he be comfortable using in the world now?

Trump/Pence's America.

Yes..

Trump and Pence is to blame for me saying fag. I couldn't muster up the courage before... but now that Trump is President Elect, I'll let it fly!

I thought time4fun was the one who would have the most difficult time getting on and letting go.. I'm beginning to think it's probably more likely you since you've been so "upset" about silly things in the past.

Here, "ponder" this video:

Like I said: Nobody's forgotten what kind of person you are. The kind that's sent angry, sexualized messages to other men anonymously on the Internet for years. It's nice that you feel empowered to be the open bigot you always wished you could be, though.

I'll translate: It's bad when the GOP did it, but it's awesome when the liberals do it because we're flaming hypocrites at the core anyways....

If only false equivalence and intellectual dishonesty actually constituted an argument.
