Richard Dawkins: Islam is Bad

[Blasveck]

We're talking about who is oppressed.

In Africa and the Middle East (and elsewhere), LGBT people are oppressed.

I'm asking if the same thing is for atheists.

I'm sure they are.

Hence why we allow freedom of religion.

Like being executed for apostasy? Does that count as "oppression"?

No, that's "Religious Freedom" and we DAWKINS NAZI ATHEISTS should be more tolerant of it.

Who the fuck said you need to be tolerant of murder?

I don't think anyone here is asking you to be tolerant of it, any more than they want you to be tolerant about gays being executed.

[The Steel Magnolia]

Do... do you seriously think this is about winning?

Good lord.

What, are you playing this for fun? It doesn't seem like you're having fun.

Au contraire. I'm doing this because people like you need to learn respect.

[Frisivisia]

Only in that they're both bad ideas.

So you do think that religion is equivalent to Nazism then?

Only in that they're both bad ideas.

You're not super smart for thinking that trap up, for the record. Trying to make me answer a question I've already answered in a way that will allow you to point and shout isn't cool or worthwhile. You've already shown yourself entirely capable of flinging shit when I don't say things.

In Sudan. Iran.Mauritania,Saudi Arabia ,Uganda ,Yemen,Somalia and Nigeria, you can be killed for being gay.
In Afghanistan, Iran, Maldives, Mauritania, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan, you can be killed for being atheist.

Teach me a lesson. I've been a very naughty boy.

[Seitonjin]

We can't be friends.

I can. It's not harming me if someone likes dogs more than they like cats. I don't worship cats, so why would it offend me if someone else doesn't love cats as much as I do.

I am a bigot and dislike cats and dogs equally.

Hah. Check-fucking-mate. :3

But anywhoosles, opression games and the such are so cliché. Dawkins is not a likeable person. The extremist Muslims too.

It's been shown in this thread that Richard Dawkins is a misogynist, or certainly walks the walk of one.

No, that's "Religious Freedom" and we DAWKINS NAZI ATHEISTS should be more tolerant of it.

I'd be a much greater supporter of the atheist movement if it involved things like people publishing books on why atheists should have rights, why atheists are unfairly thought of as untrustworthy, ect. Rather than just books on why religion is dumb.

No, I'm not trying to be devious, I'm just trying to decide if what you said is worth flaming you over.

(also it's not flinging shit if it's true)

I meant the part where Maggie called me a misogynist for no reason.

To be fair, Dawkins is a little more likeable.

... are you a misogynist?

Because you defended misogyny?

That's... the hallmark of a misogynist right there, y'know.

^ This.

It gets to a point where enough anti-religion books have been published for one year.

Well, given that I am in no way a misogynist, I'd say that by your own account you were slinging shit at me. This makes me very sad.

Not usually.

But say one word bad about his saviour hero Dawkins and the slutty bitch was asking for it.

See Joe! I can make inflammatory statements too!

I support "atheists," i.e. I think they should be treated far more fairly and that the discrimination against them is unacceptable. But I by far do not support this whole movement where they think they're better than everyone else and that everyone else is some stoopid evil theist nazi.

[Frisivisia]

I don't remember having done that. Last I checked, I was a big fan of women, feminism, all that good shit, and last I checked, I was not a misogynist and did not want to be a misogynist. You probably know better, though.

I've never actually read an anti-religion book before, mostly because it would just be me agreeing with everything stated rather than anything vaguely challenging.

Can I get a link to where I said that?
