That's far more bigoted than saying Islam is trash, actually.

No stats, no data, just running on a stereotype here.

Except the religious doctrine, you know, the thing that is supposed to be the basis of their beliefs and how they live, is teaching people these terrible ideas.

@elph
I love how you dropped the Islam debate

You simultaneously act like it's not worth having, yet show up to have it every time... Then invariably drop off after a few posts. Keep fighting the good fight.

Not me...

Then you can say the incel movement is bad. Not make a false equivalency of people doing terrorism in the name of Islam with people doing terrorism in the name of not getting their pee pee touched because most of them are atheist.

And I'm fairly sure Christian terrorism out weighs incel terrorism.

You know there's a reason why I say Islam is bad and not Muslims are bad, right?

Like, the actual doctrine teaches people terrible things. Just because people cherry pick it and choose not to follow in the most fundamental way doesn't automatically make it good. It's still bad and the fact that you have to use people that are secular to justify it only strengthens the point.

Then make a bigoted false equivalence to atheism when atheism isn't a religion. It doesn't have doctrine or a set of rules or a book. It just means you don't believe in a god.

how many times have you heard atheists say "I bet they haven't even read The Bible" or whatever

it's often true!

First of all, there is no actual proof Jesus existed to tell you his race.

Second, the book doesn't tell you his race. It says he has bronze feet and people interpret that to mean he had bronze skin and him being white wouldn't make sense since the bible took place in ancient Africa but nothing in that book says Jesus is or isn't white.


And there you go again. Telling me Christianity is okay because there are Christians that are secular. For some reason you still don't get it. I didn't say the religious people are bad, I said the religion is bad. It's actually literally the opposite of bigotry.
