    What is the Point of Judaism?

    An assumption that presumably distorts your reading of what I write about fringe elements within your religion that excuse their fringe nature by appealing to religious tradition, as does virtually every fundamentalist. Note: I did not bring up my "lifestyle," you did. I am not sure what...

    Obama on Trump

    I am not sure about the other time, but one such "opportunity" Clinton spoke of involved killing 300 civilians. I mean, President Obama could eradicate the Islamic State today. He just has to ignore the Geneva Conventions and modern standards of civilization. Kind of like Islamic State does.

    What is the Point of Judaism?

    You're not getting that. Child brides. Misogyny. More misogyny. Homophobic terrorism. Rejection of evolutionary theory. Racism. As with enablers of another Abrahamic religion on the left, there is a certain tendency among some philo-Semites to idealize Jewishness as the source of everything...

    What is the Point of Judaism?

    I am not sure how I have defamed "a people" without any evidence. I am not going to get sidetracked given the subject matter of this particular thread, but suffice it to say, not agreeing that a religion does not contain perfect angels does not = defamation.

    What is the Point of Judaism?

    That's good to know. I am glad that you do not associate with criminals, misogynists and creationists.

    What is the Point of Judaism?

    This bolded part is almost always true of the Reform, Conservative and vast majority of Orthodox. There are certain approaches to Judaism that are far less liberal or accommodating of modernity than what you typically see in the US, though.

    Trump Paranoia Official?

    I agree with this. Like I said back in the day when the more racist and conspiratorial overtones in the nascent "Tea Party" movement were bubbling to the surface, exploiting nativism, xenophobia and paranoia is playing with fire. Whether they wanted to do it or not, they're rousing the...

    Trump Paranoia Official?

    I haven't seen any increase in Southeastern Michigan either, although I did notice when shopping that women wearing the hijab seemed more paranoid and concerned than usual. And I do not blame them. On the other hand, when I was at a market there was also a woman in the niqab happily chatting...

    Muslims innocents are less human ?

    A poet was sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia, for apostasy, last month. Saudi Arabia is the center of Islamic religious life. If Muslims disagree with this interpretation of Islam being implemented in the country that houses their most sacred pilgrimage site, maybe the ummah should do...

    Muslims innocents are less human ?

    And those dead Muslims live in a war zone. If they don't like the risk, they can always move, right? It's easy to match your callousness and reveal how superficial this grandstanding really is.

    Muslims innocents are less human ?

    Every state you listed criminalizes the expression of belief, and KS A punishes apostasy with the death penalty. If the West is hypocritical for its difference in treatment of innocents on the basis of belief, that's only because we have actual standards to measure our conduct. In Islam, your...

    Trump's divisive Comments

    We imprisoned Americans of Japanese descent. Full stop, that was wrong, racist and is widely acknowledged as such. Very different from the questions that confront us today on immigration and Muslims.

    Muslims innocents are less human ?

    Unless you live in an Islamic state of course. Then what you are and what you believe can be a life or death question.

    I have deep hatred for Homosexuality & Lesbianism

    No Servant, you are not alone. As you are no doubt aware, many of your co-religionists also hate LGBT people, and spend an inordinate amount of time making the lives of the ones they rule over miserable, even throwing them off of high rises and stoning them to death. It is useless to prevail...

    French Election Results: Le Pen Beaten by Tactical Voting

    I don't know if I agree with this. Marine Le Pen has pursued a policy of "de-diabolisation," and it has increased her support immensely, including among two very unlikely fascist demographics (gays and Jews). And this is now the only major French party headed by a female politician. In fact...

    Trump Wants To Ban Muslims Jimmy Carter Banned Muslims (Well Iranians to be truthfull)

    As though this demonstrates some kind of propensity on the part of white males. Quite clearly, Rotherham did not involve six British men from Muslim backgrounds. In fact what was the conclusion of the final report? Oh right, over a thousand children subjected to child sexual abuse by a very...

    Trump Wants To Ban Muslims Jimmy Carter Banned Muslims (Well Iranians to be truthfull)

    Given the recent Rotherham scandal, to say nothing of the historical practices of certain venerated religious figures in some Abrahamic religions, I'd be careful abut suggesting that white middle aged males account for any disproportionate number of child sexual abuse cases.

    Islamic State group targets gays with brutal public killings

    Hadith. Islam is not all about the Quran.

    Now reporting that suspect is Syed Farook, described by his father as a devout Muslim. Some witness reports suggest altercation at work about an hour before shootings began. See...

    Atheists' former religions

    Me? Or my parents? My mother was raised non-religious, father was nominal Christian as a child. Atheists/agnostics the lot of us now.
