Shoes metaphor. River metaphor. Can we metaphor even more? I’ll keep score.

I love old sneakers and hiking shoes. Adore em. I even remember having dress shoes that had holes in em. I had to be cautious to keep feet planted lest soles of my shoes create bad impression. Sure walking in rain and through puddles was a hastle but not so much that i…[Read more]

I think it is easier to herd cats than to organize a meeting of atheists on a Sunday 🙂 What ya reckon? @jakelafort

I reckon you’z right Reg. Alliterative license taken.

I get a visceral reaction so at least for me it is a hard no. At same time i credit Sam Harris for recognizing the void some atheists may feel in not having that community…[Read more]

I guess i should have searched it. Sometimes i understand Italian words because of Spanish. Strega does not take me to bruja.

Strega, is Strega an acronym? Stop thinking, reacting, engaging…go away!

What is it?

Reg it looks like Dawkins developed that annoying little eye twitch. I had that when i was practicing law. Luckily Allah removed the eye twitch when i quit. Come to think of it that is what made Chief Inspector Clouseau’s boss in Pink Panther so entertaining.

Robert isn’t that old testament language…something about take no gods before me an obvious indication that the ancient hebrews were polytheists? And yea there is irony in that nonsense comes back to bite the originators which were not even original.

From what i have read and heard i think Iran is ripe for a revolution. Hopefully they won’t…[Read more]

He is a modern Muslim thinker so ya know we can’t tinker. Islam is a stinker.

I noticed a lot of support for intelligent design. Whatever is amazing and beautiful is because Allah created everything. And if you can’t use your own eyes you Atheist bastards then may you fry for all eternity.

I asked a lot of pointed questions. Ya know what i got…[Read more]

I wonder if there is any place in middle east outside of Israel that has a curriculum in history that is not Muslim propaganda?

Obviously they take Jew hatred to an extreme. Turns out most Muslims deny there was an ancient Jewish civilization in Israel/Judea.

There are a number of recent articles indicating that many university students including ivy league have never read a book cover to cover. So they’re bitching to profs about reading assignments.

I grew up from age 6 reading books cover to cover. It never stopped until i got older and chose law as a career. I went to a shit college but i have no…[Read more]

Saudi Arabia did not officially abolish slavery until 1962. Although it is reputed to be alive and well.

Don’t say nuthin bad bout Islam. You might offend someone. We can’t have that unless the ones being offended and calumniated are Jews. Yeah it is always open season for that!

Pope, protests against mass killing of Palestinians and people calling the protestors pro hamas?

First i readily concede that one can ONLY generalize about an ideology. Would you object to characterizations of positions taken by evangelicals or libertarians? If we can’t generalize then we can’t evaluate a set of ideas. If you don’t share the…[Read more]

The literacy rate is 40% in Muslim countries vs 90% in the Western world. The Muslim world has 500 scientists and technologies per million …

That is impressive init?

I started to read without finishing Ayaan Hirsi Ali on Migration, Islam and Women as Prey. It gets boring after a while. I got the message after so many stats. The Muslim immigrants are raping disproportionately to their numbers. They think of nonmuslims as garbage and it gives them an excuse to do their dirty work with a sense of impunity. They…[Read more]

Simon, does not seem like the reaction to Muslims in UK is racist or xenophobic. Groups patroling to impose Islamic norms on nonmuslims like East London. And i believe other parts of Europe as well. Correct me if i am wrong.

And just a storm or Rapists. I just did quick search and saw the story about Rotherham and i pulled this quote…1400 white…[Read more]

Simon, but that is what cults do!

They turn people into robots. Cults dehumanize and eradicate individuality. Cultists behave in reprehensible ways that would never occur in the absence of the cult. When cultist deviate from the clearly defined norms they risk severe punishment up to and including execution.

So obviously this is about…[Read more]

Simon, your words follow.

Religion is not a race, and therefore you’re not being racist. But it’s the same thing, to tar a whole group with the same negative brush.

So to use my example of a discrete cult of 900 in an enclave that is almost identical in its practices, belief and doctrine to Islam. And suppose Robert is describing the doc…[Read more]

It is clear like a pellucid mountain stream cascading over sparkling rocks made smooth by the intermittent spring flow. Down down the mountainside will it go gathering in the downstream pools where polywogs will grow. The mainstream has few stragglers who fight the current’s flow. Otherwise the current carries all wherever it may go.

And that…[Read more]

You are spot on Robert.

I have listened to one apostate after another and they are in disbelief at how stupid or misinformed the useful idiot progressives are.

And yes the idea of a two state solution is a joke. They are obsessed with what was first denying a Jewish state and later destroying a Jewish state. That ambition has been explicit in…[Read more]

I have wondered and wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high and wonders why Muslims are depraved.

Davis would roll over in his grave!

I have read the algebra thing is stolen from i forget who but considering that Islam was spread by the sword it is consistent with their history.

Comparing Jews and Muslims is like comparing…[Read more]
