Bullshit excpetionalism. That is a good way of describing Islam, well-said. You are the same. I'm not a "believer", sorry. Only a "believer" can "believe" themselves superior to others and/or others are inferior to themselves. I know all the Nazis are pinned to the sid...

Elders of Zion is an actual book written in 1916? in Russia, and my reference to it was not claim it is not an actual work, but that it has been disscredited as actual history, and so i equated that books work with your mindset. which to me seems equal. An Elders of Zion "book" has 0 rele...

Bullshit excpetionalism. That is a good way of describing Islam, well-said. The "belief" to be in possession of the most "supreme" document on the face of the planet is certainly 'bullshit exceptionalism' and has costed the lives of hundreds of millions, as well as the suffering...

I'm not a naked skeptic at all. Your argument is unworkable. If you are moderately rational, it should be possible to explain why to you. But if your defensive reaction is self-indulgent waffle about how infallible your work is because it is contructed with the glue of logical necessity then you ar...

Male central figure orator warlord who: amassed power via public oration, weaponized the state against his political adversaries, expanded militarily while signing/breaking peace treaties, subsequently used the power of the state to commit systemic mass organized genocide and died cursing "the ...

The followers of Islam seem to be the most violent among the three Abrahamic religions. Of course, there are peaceful muslims, but it is not hard to find one who interprets the Quoran and general Islamic teachings as giving them the permission to commit acts such as blowing themselves up and killin...

All movements have authority figures. Listening to an authority is not raising them to the pedestal of an idol. Again I ask for quotes of where Jesus advocates rape. Truth is not in a person, as people live/die, thus any authority-based "movement" is an idolatrous one. Spilling blood over...

nope Sufis never waged war against Hindus. you need to learn history before you create your ranted views of the world. The Sunni/Shia (internal division) heavily outweighs any purely mystical interpretations of Islam. History says Islam invaded & genocided Hindus, as genocide is condoned in Isl...

"Self-evident" is what people say when they don't want their evidence examined. No, it is what something is - women wearing head-to-toe garments (as a product of men having no capacity to control themselves such to religiously blame the WOMAN should the man rape her) is self-evident becau...

interesting, i feel a conspiracy theory coming on - include the Elders of Zion if you wish - interested in what you are talking about here, though have no idea - yet... ...oh wow, i feel myself falling into the rabbit hole of nuttery here. do enlighten me. interested. 'Conspiracy theory' is a devic...

Regardless of the natures you think we should have, nature has her own ideas and they have made you the best of your line. You cannot deny your selfish gene. Nature does not have "ideas", it has laws upon which ideas are conceived/possible. I do not know what you mean by "best of you...

What's the point? The point is self-evident: the planet/human civilization is a patriarchal mess. And women deprecate men. What's the point? Not religiously. You need some help on that, I see. I'm sorry I don't take anything I read on the internet as authoritative and know not to "believe"...

Arguing in favor of tribalism/racism is entirely alarming: it is a part of the problem, not any solution. These are rooted in "belief"-based identities, the existence of which serves to perpetuate "us vs. them" mentalities, as are so widely endorsed by those who are attempting to...

If you regard that as true, so? Being "matriarchal" certainly doesn't make something more true. What's the point? I don't "regard" it as true, I acknowledge it as true because it is true. Abrahamism is firmly rooted in patriarchy, thus implies the problem: men who depreciate wom...

I said quote where Jesus advocates rape, Jesus is not limited to strictly Islam but is a central figure in Christianity as well. And I said: Jesus is a male central figure idol like Muhammad - in fact Jesus' name is on the Dome of the Rock because the early Arabs were actually Christians : "th...
