Strawman argument and a dishonest claim.
Its neither a straw man argument nor a dishonest claim. The difference between race, gender and belief has nothing to do with what i was addressing; your concern and the manner in which you expressed it. Your concern about a resolution against different treatment of people based upon an arbitrary reason (discrimination), and the exaggerative manner you expressed it in.
My words were a flat out exaggeration of your expressed concern (when i said "the world is falling apart" for example), to highlight how silly i think what you said was (in regards to it supposedly being mid-evil and bronze age as you referred to it). It included things you haven't said or implied to be concerned about, but i also wasn't actually saying that you are. I just used other examples to express the statement that i was acting to be saying, in the way i needed to (and since they
are in the same category i was addressing, i saw no problem with using them, and i'll clarify more on what i mean here later), which i acted as if i was expressing to convey how ridiculous i see the
manner you chose to express your concern in, and your concern itself. Not to say that this is exactly actually what you're saying, or that these mere additions actually refute your point somehow.
In other words, i responded in kind. By exaggerating the issue more than you already did, by claiming that the world is falling apart, because of the issue you're concerned with, and others like it. Not however saying that it follows that you also have a problem with those two other things specifically.
It seems perfectly acceptable to discriminate others based on your faith,
According to whom?
but not discriminate the faith itself.
Discriminate the
faith?
Don't you mean the people who embrace it?
Race and gender are specific to people personally while faith is not.
I'll assume that by specific you mean that they can't help or choose it, or something along those lines, and if so, of course race and gender are as such.
Faith is obviously also
not by any means
equal or equivalent to those things, but it is in my view to some extent (a much lesser one) and in a sense as such, with
some people.
However, this has nothing to do with why i used these examples.
They are completely different concepts however you felt compelled to dishonestly place them together in the same category and then fallaciously provided the Slippery Slope.
Garbage.
First, like i clarified they
are under the same category; the category of things that discrimination based upon is not allowed.
That is not to say however, like i clarified above, that belief is the
same thing as race or gender.
I was expressing through a bigot's words his perception of how things are awful in an exaggerative manner and included other similar examples to the one you were concerned about. It was not to however accuse you of being a racist or of being sexist.
Second, in regards to the slippery slope, if you mean in regards to the 'world is falling apart' comment, then quite possibly (and i say possibly because the comment might be valid to an extent from that person's perspective, since he's seeing things that discrimination is not being allowed based upon and to him thats the world falling apart).
But i think you forget that i'm supposed to be acting the role of a bigoted idiot in that part. So if it was slippery slope, then i did a good job (as i wasn't trying to be logical, in case you hadn't noticed or been unable to grasp that yet).
Yes, I do understand why you believe my points are irrelevant, ramblings or misrepresenting
I don't believe so, they are
demonstrably so.
and why you aren't able to grasp them.
Absolute falsehood!
I insist that i grasp them too well.
