The Burqa and Niqab

[Illusions]

Admitting, am I? I am frankly not sure which of my 'arguments' you are even assaulting here since you're so busy shoving words and ideas into my mouth.

Well, for one the "Filth of the moon god" part was what I was referring to, and I'm not shoving words or ideas into your mouth, you're explicitly stating an unfounded opinion in loaded words. You might not be stating that the argument isn't rational, but you're very well showing us it isn't.

Naive, huh

Europe has a pretty long history of

Wait, never mind

Yeah, because making all those religious groups feel unwelcome from the 1500's onwards sure meant that Europe never, ever had to deal with their ilk again...

...oh, wait a minute.

I have no idea what is going on in this paragraph, maybe it's my deficiency in language skills

Shortened version included during a missed edit.

To put it more succinctly, you're advocating treating religious people in a manner similar to how the religious have treated you, and are expecting a different outcome with them than their behavior has elicited from you.

Do you drink coffee?

No, I'm making fun of Illusions

No, I'm making fun of Illusions

It is naive to think that way as that approach has very rarely ever worked in the past.

In relation to what we're discussing and the making fun of me part. Works both ways.

No, I'm making fun of Illusions

I didn't think so. You should try it though. Wonderful stuff. (IMHO, as always)

Turns out there's little need for me to make fun of you, you manage to be ridicule-worthy all on your own. You assumed, point-blank, that I was somehow maltreated by "the religious" and this must be my motive for lashing out against religion? I mean really. :lol:

That's what I always assumed. Why else would you turn to Satan?

... you seem to not be following...

If you find an article by or about a religious group attempting to restrict or legislate against atheism/science/etc. is your response:

a) go into hiding/avoid further confrontation, avoid areas with similar minded people
b) stop believing in what you believe
c) angrily oppose the statements in the article and people with similar opinions or attempting similar actions

You did not take into account his rather impressive package

You lost me.

Satan is often portrayed as a seducer of both men and women; ostensibly he could, at will, have a supple and large penis to entice unwitting sinner with. It is an American colloquialism to call the male genitalia as one's "package", I believe.

Oh. My Church doesn't think of Satan as a super fucker. And yeah, male genitals are a package.
