Erase a Branch of Religion

Yes, but we're talking about modern times here.

 

I experience it everyday. :biggrin: And yet, I have the choice not to do the same to the ones who hate me. It's just not worth my time.

 

There are people still alive today who've been in concentration camps in Christian societies. How modern can you really get.

 

I have no love for Islam. Why should I have any love?

I don't particularly have any love for Judaism as a religion either.

I also fail to see the hypocrisy. This thread told me to choose one religion, and I did... and explained why.

You are the one who is getting unnecessarily touchy about the subject.

I don't think that you or Jait could come close to relating.

Have you lived in Pakistan/India?

Have you ever experienced war?

Have you ever had to step on a bus and fear being blown up?

 

Definitely.

You're softer than you come across. I think this post should be framed.

 

More modern and more actual.

Radical Islam is hateful and violent, while radical Christianity isn't.

What else do you need me to say?

 

What did you experience? Did someone call you a short ass Brazilian ****** or something?

Did they try to kill you for it?

It's still not the same.

...but honestly... you all are taking this way out of proportion. It's not like I go around hating Muslims. It's not something that I even talk about or think about 99.9% of the time. It just came up in this conversation. You are all rather quick to point fingers.

 

In the mean time, I've never been discriminated with on the basis of race. Not really. I'm sure it's terrible.

I can even see it justifying hatred. But I can't see tribal hatred as a benefit even if it does seem righteously indignant. I see it as a way to separate yourself from a quarter of the population of the world.

What's happening to jews is bad" doesn't justify a bias against a whole diverse set of people.

 

The internet is a good medium for transferring opinions, not emotions.

 

I completely agree.

Dunno where I showed a bias against a whole diverse set of people.

I set that I would eliminate Islam because of the radicals that it promotes and the social injustice it imposes upon its citizens and the world.

I have no problem with a good 95% of Muslims.

 

...

 

Opinions and emotions are not mutually exclusive.

 

Perhaps I misunderstood. I skipped a lot of the middle of this thread.

It's all a dumb exercise anyway. I'd like to replace Catholicism with Gnosticism. War Yahweh!

 

"Not figuratively, but if you know anything about Pakistani culture, everyday is a war of complicated beliefs. My parents and entire family are old school. All hindus=evil."
What?
I guess I should've seen this coming. My family isn't really keen on Muslims either. But still...



Anyway, I thought we were getting rid of the religion, not the followers.

 

It actually is. The only difference is that radical Christians haven't been pushed out and imprisoned into a scrap of desert without water in the time-frame of one generation.

All of them, Christians, Islam, and Israel are but pawns in an imperialist game, anyway. Jews don't even have to be exterminated anymore, they are so docile they just voluntarily go to the desert to duke it out with the sand niggers. How convenient.

 

Yeah =-( I don't think that way at all. The rents do a good job in cloaking it in public or just not associating, but it's deep-rooted.

Eh, a lot of the speculation is based on how the followers are perceived now.

 

Oye, perhaps I should have kept my big mouth shut.

 

Hindu followers or Muslim followers?

There's not many muslims here so for us it's not a case of avoiding, it's just a general thing.

 

It's okay, I'm like now.

 

right back.

I meant in the case of Rubin, too. It's not exactly fair that I put my criticism that has more to do with e-persona in a sensitive thread.

Aren't Pakistanis in the UK generally known for being rather extreme in their views? (not Al Qaida status, but you know)
