Florida Church Denied Burn Permit Says, ‘We Will Still Burn Korans’

[Dan J 277]

I wonder why you're not being called an intolerant bigot?

MH - I told you it wasn't personal, why do you insist on correcting me on my own feelings? And yes, bias. Absolute bias.

You can not like something but still tolerate it.

People who share my feelings aren't going to call me that. It's not unlike the other threads where the people I called out for being bigots were defended by those who shared their bigotry.

If anyone is going to call me out, it will have to be someone religious. Let's just get it out of the way.

Oh I'm just arguing the point, actually. From what I've read, I don't think you're a bigot at all. I understand why people may have a disdain for organized religion, and that is their choice.

There are crazies in every religion that make the rest of us look bad, nothing's gonna change that.

This thread refers to a specific church, not all churches.

Would anyone be bigoted against a church that burns a Koran on 9/11? Absolutely.

Tolerance belies condescension. Perhaps acceptance would be a better goal.

I don't think you're a bigot at all.

You're no fun at all.

Yes you told me, but that's not what I perceive. I see a personal grudge being transferred from one thread to another.

Justashooter routinely and unambiguously posts content that amounts to hate speech against minorities.

Does AJ do this?

If by 'hate speech' are you including that thread today about the rape?

Again, it's nothing personal. However, personally speaking, today has left me feeling that you and I are way more diametrically opposed than I once thought, but that's neither here nor there to the topic at hand. AJ posted an unfavorable article about a church, JAS did one about a rape....I don't see the difference between the two, since neither made any personal commentary. But since you were so 'up in arms' over the one, logic would dictate you'd be the same about the other, but surprisingly, you're not. Hrmm.

You're no fun at all.

Don't make me smack you.

AJ posted a news story about a specific, named church burning books. For what reason I neither know nor care. I don't believe that AJ has an issue with churches or Christianity in general (I could be wrong about this)

On the other hand, JAS has a history of posting anti-muslim invective and it's reflected in the choices of the threads he posts.

I have an issue with religion, Christianity included. If there really was a God and a Devil, I believe religion was created by the Devil.

Quite a lot of people share that opinion.

*silence* bwahahahahah guess you were wrong, mate.

So what?

And you're trying real hard to convince me that the basis of your replies here isn't personal. I think you need to try a lot harder.

You certainly go through a lot of trouble labeling what people say in efforts to dismiss WHAT they say.
