Gotta question

[Andy Taylor]

So, you're telling me that women have the same rights in the rest of those countries?


So, which Christian country bans those? I'm sure there's one at least.



No shit. So was Leningrad. So what?

If this were an Islamic run country I would have probably been executed for being a vocal female or for my atheism by now.

I didn't say that Christians are much better. Marginally better.
I know about Lebanon and that it is very secular for the middle east. But, I'm just saying that I have less chance of getting killed for my disbelief in the west rather the middle east. Do you really want to debate this?

A few select Middle Eastern countries. People don't go around killing others because of religion outside of those countries.

So, basically you're saying that if you disbelieve in Mohammad, you can still be a Muslim? That's the first I've heard of such a thing.

Did I say anything about disbelieving in Mohammed? The one path idea really belongs to Christianity.

The Iraqis also invented beer, which is worthy of respect in and of itself

I judge as I find.

This I will say: all of the Muslims and Sikhs I know are far, far more tolerant, kind, compassionate, family orientated people than many of the friends of mine who profess to be Christian (although that by no means includes all of my Christian friends.)

The notion of an extremist applies to a minority only.

I never said that they all did. I was talking about Islamic run countries and not the more secular countries. I agree that there are saner parts of the middle east. There are saner parts of North American too. Like Canada.

Of course that comes at a contradiction of it's holy book, but since I don't believe in either, I don't really care. So, therefore I endorse your position on the matter.

I hate 20 minute edit limits. I was going to add:

How many paths are there exactly without tipping the boat over? A lot of Christians will claim that there are many paths while picking and choosing in what they want to believe. If part of something seems immoral or stupid why does the rest of it get credibility?

Half of those countries are Islamic run, especially those church donating ones.


It's not picking and choosing, more like a matter of interpretation. Some will say that Christianity was more spiritual in the older days, it changed with western adoption. Being Christian is no excuse to switch off one's brain and Jesus was one of the people that taught that I believe. Each time a pharisee went for a literal over zealous application of scripture, Jesus would provide a different reading of it, also from scripture. I don't see fundamental 'flaws', but I think people were meant to learn things for themselves. If you simply followed the rules of the bible, that shows no love or real character - a part of holiness. That's why most if not all spiritual people, and even those who don't know it yet have experiences that guide them through scripture. So I think the 'contradictions' in the bible are helping to weed out the zealots and whoever else so that truly only the pure of heart make it through the narrow path... tests in life are not just accidental, and I think they apply here as well.

Nice to see people are still debating over their favorite version of the fairytale...

So, here's to you.

Oh you'll have to do much better than that to piss me off. I know what's going through your head, you're thinking you're being very cool in laughing at new agers, Christians, hippies etc, all while trying to score points by using clips from comedians. You and Carlin only have yourselves to blame if you're stunted in your growth.
