Re: Rationalskepticism,lol part III.
So practicing muslims are a polyracial group to a greater extent than Jews... they are still a bunch of racial groups.

I'm living in the same home as an atheist and I rather like it.

Re: Rationalskepticism,lol part III.
I'm pretty sure that we agree on that. My gripe with the modnote from Kiore was that, when I asked him about it, that this didn't go for muslim or christians. I don't know if you have been to ratskep lately, but mocking or vilifying christians/muslims isn't acted against. That double standard was what was buggin me.Svartalf wrote:So practicing muslims are a polyracial group to a greater extent than Jews... they are still a bunch of racial groups.

They pretty much banned you because you are a douchebag. No one was morning your loss to the forum.Tyrannical wrote:Ha join the club, they couldn't ban me for rules violations so they started to almost make stuff up (not wanting Muslims immigrants was now racist). Finally perm banned me with only 4 warmings, and I was about to lose two of themMr. Samsa wrote:Eh, if it wasn't that comment then they'd just find another to warn me for to get rid of me. They were pissed off that they weren't allowed to permaban me a while back so they've just been racking up bullshit warnings and advice so they can try to make it look justified. If you look at the thread where I got my warning and see some of the comments that went without warning, it's amazing that they somehow singled mine out. There were like 3-4 pages of derail where Cito just kept bringing up posts I'd made elsewhere on the forum and criticising me for them despite having no relevance to the topic.

Re: Rationalskepticism,lol part III.
So you are fine with the FUA not being followed when it happens to someone who's opinions you don't like. Doesn't that undermine your own position on how the mods behave over there.rEvolutionist wrote:They pretty much banned you because you are a douchebag.

Re: Rationalskepticism,lol part III.
It's not the religion so much with the muslims as the cultural baggage. Men lose their status and then start reading the Koran in the West to be able boss their women around. African Muslim women are stuck in a culture of genital mutilation that they perform on themselves.
Besides, religion is unnecessary if we have some laws. Just the ones we've had for years. Excluding hanging.

Re: Rationalskepticism,lol part III.
Ah, but Jews generally don't proselytize. Also, I've never heard of someone claiming to be "half Muslim on my mother's side". Or vigorously denying any Muslim ancestry for that matter.Babel wrote:which was my point from the start.Svartalf wrote:Muslims are a fucking blight, though they are even more diverse than Jews...

Pretending that jews are the only religion that push hard for marriage within the own religion, is not realistic and that would mean that 'muslim' is as much a racial identity as is 'jew'. It's just preferential treatment of one religion.
As far as I understand, Jewishness is as as much about culture and bloodlines than actually believing in a book.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."
