I recall in a calculus class three Iranians got caught cheating on a test, got walked out and received ‘Fs’ for the course. One of them was in my study group. I asked him why he cheated. He looked me right in the eye and said it is not considered cheating because this is a college of infidels.

Oh and a silly little manners story…

I had a Muslim guy and his wife consult me and when i met em i went to shake her hand. She just looked at me but the husband FUHREAKED! You do not touch my wife! Went on and on in what was clearly a demonstration of bad manners. He was an asshole entire consultation. Yeah i know interaction with one or two…[Read more]

I think origins of religion can be understood at first as a way to make the environment intelligible and to gain some semblance of control and order. And then humans being humans power dynamics enter the picture. Pattern recognition had to play a part in the formation of rituals that took on supertitious meaning. And then things unfolded in a…[Read more]

I recognise all the criticisms.  But I think there’s more that can be said about Islam than blanket criticism.

I’m interested in the origins of religion and what it’s supposed to be…[Read more]

Isn’t dedicated to evil? Such a nonquestion. Which religion or political ideology describes itself as dedicated to evil?

Supposed to be making world better place? For whom? 60 yrs old men raping…[Read more]

The British created the modern state of India out of a gaggle of minor local kingdoms with theirs. And the modern state of Germany wouldn’t have the national treasure of Schloss Neuschwannstein without the brutality of The Mad King Ludwig of Bavaria, either.

@Reg,

It would take a lot to be surprised these days, but I am certainly open to it, LOL.

@_Robert_ always will be a child molesting…cult.

I suspect this is going to be the case but they are not in first place considering the latest news about the Catholic Church in Ireland which will lead to more revelations around the world over the next few years. I won’t post about it yet but I will be asking people why they still support an…[Read more]

Contrast the slaves to a free, atheistic woman from a liberal democracy with rights to become herself.

On the surface seems like two nice ladies having a lovely chat, if you forget one of the sex slaves is peeping through eye slits. The other one is talking about things that tarnish your “heart”. Twenty-five seconds into the video, one of those terrible things is “loving this life”. These people are fucking monsters, always were, always will be a…[Read more]

I do indeed ❤️

See what happens when you try to silence me…..

Remember this from our old friend?

I’m not sure there’s anything in Islam encouraging nice manners, unless nice manners include burying women vertically in the sands of an arena with only their heads above ground, and stoning them to death for imagined apostasy – often accused by their husbands so he can get rid of them and snag a new wife.

Do yourself a favour and read ‘A Thous…[Read more]

Apparently they don’t like apostates and atheists…

That means they don’t like 75% of the worlds population. That includes me so they can sit on this and swivel.

It’s just not healthy to place that much value in something, so that it is above all else that really matters.

That is very true, especially when what they value most is ima…[Read more]

Attilla the Hun … Genghis Khan … Alexander III of Macedonia

Yes, but those people didn’t teach people nice manners and things like that.

@simon. Attilla the Hun had some people who succeeded as a result of his brutality.

Genghis Khan unified all the Mongolian tribes with his brutality.

Alexander III of Macedonia was a fiendishly cruel man who introduced elephants to the art of war. No doubt a few people were happy with this.

I’m not going to mention the German guy.

Simon, oh.

I don’t consider that Islam is an organisation dedicated to evil.  It’s supposed to be making the world a better place, especially for people who believe in it.  I believe it does succeed in some respects that can be seen and felt by people who don’t suffer its bad effects.

But human nature is a faulty and wonky thing, Islam is strongly p…[Read more]

So predictable what would happen in Afghanistan after USA withdrew.
