Atheism

[delldude]

So let me get this straight. You are accusing me of supporting some graph that has turned out to be inaccurate yet you are not to be held accountable for a quote on a site that you posted because your are too lazy to verify it? WTF?


Amazing. I post the actual quote for you and you still can get it right. He made no comment about eradicating Christians. Here is the quote again since you apparently cannot be bothered to look it up before you comment on it.


No one is advocating the eradication of any one. Just the doctrines that promote hate discrimination and bigotry. If seeking accuracy is splitting hairs, then so be it. Guilty as charged. Far better than the alternative as far as I am concerned

To eradicate a belief system, those who believe in it must go.
If all who believe in it weren't eradicated it wouldn't be gone would it?
He got caught with his own words and made a lame attempt to make it go away.
Or by chance, was it taken out of context?

Beliefs can be changed with out elimination of the individual. Christians thought that the Earth was the center of the universe and that the world was flat. Christians are still around. Are you saying you are incapable of changing your mind?

No. Your arguments never hold water.

Your boy was talking about religious doctrine.........like no room for your views by the others, so the others must go.
He should have chosen his words a little better.

I do not know what you think he meant, I only know what he wrote.

The dictionary defines intolerance as lack of toleration, an unwillingness or refusal to tolerate or respect. Sometimes, though, it becomes quite necessary. Intolerance toward beliefs and doctrines that serve only to promote hatred, bigotry and discrimination should be lauded, as should extremist points of view toward the eradication of these beliefs and doctrines.

He chose his words just fine as far as I can tell. He was quite specific with the doctrines and beliefs that he is against. If you choose to read something else into what he wrote that is fine but that's your problem not his.

Yeah, well the Blaze hasn't opted for a retraction either.......funny though, he ran and made a clarification after it hit the fan.....

 

[Ms Tree]

So the blaze is our standard for truth? whether they made a retraction or not is irrelavant. You can go directly to the source and see what was written. What the Blaze wrote and what the blogger wrote are entirely different. That is a fact. I have no idea what the blogger meant I have no idea. I read what he wrote and as far as I am concernd it was perfectly clear.

Hmmmm.......I thought it was unacceptable on this forum to be directly quoting blogs.

 

[Ms Tree]

No idea. Never read the rules. I would think as long as you link it properly there would not be an issue. Aside from that, what relevance does that have to with whats being discussed?

Whole lot, Pal.....Define 'Link it properly'.........

 

[Ms Tree]

Just read the board rules and I did not see anything about blogs. Actually there is not much in thee about anything.

From your quoted blog:

But the underbelly of fundamentalist Christianity and radical Islam does not operate in the legal system. They don’t respond to lawsuits, letters, amicus briefs or other grass-roots campaigns and they must, must, must be eradicated. As long as they are allowed to exist, we will continue to be inundated with accounts of buses, buildings, markets and abortion clinics being blown up, rape victims being murdered for adultery, wives being beaten (sometimes to death), airplanes being flown into buildings, people being tortured and sometimes beheaded for blasphemy, people being burned for witchcraft and sorcery and all the other horrific, inhumane and insane practices that are part of fundamental Christianity and Radical Islam.

May I politely interject a big DUH here?

Oh....doctrines.....I forgot......

 

[Ms Tree]

Last sentence after the one you posted.

If we don’t take a stand and, as a society, insist that these doctrines and beliefs are treated just the same as they would be if religion were not part of the equation, we will become extinct not due to natural selection, but at the hands of those who believe that the supernatural has made the selection.

Last sentence after the one you posted.

He addressed the usage of the word doctrines in his explanation.....however he did not address the word beliefs which includes those who believe.....DUH.............

Doctrine.....teachings

Beliefs.....what is accepted and those who accept it.

The mere fact that he had to add something after the fact to explain what he meant shows he's admitting he should have thought about what he was writing a little more.

You lose...........

What ever. Our records are clear for anyone to see.
