Not even a wafer, just a picture of a wafer, a half eaten one.

whatever
Maybe she thinks it's a waffle?
Excuse the pun.
so what do you know of the verse's meanings?Those courses and others. As for the rest: ask your local Wahhabis.
whatever
see? that's why sam is the greatest woman on sciforums, she could drive even a restless relentless one-dimensional no-windows no-side mirrors pedal-flooring barrier-crashing poster like you to stop, plug the cotton out your ears, lower the volume on your "lalalalala.." stereo, and say; "whatever"..
So you think that acting like you are retarded and stupid, to the point where people don't want to associate or speak to you, makes you great?
Ermm.. okay.
Not evidenced in this and other threads of late.while sam is very capable of intelligent argument,
,she's also capable of complete bigotry
Really?and that's what you need with a fellow complete bigot,
Is it difficult for you to follow a cohesive debate and take part in said debate?take me for example, i simply can't deal with michael, he has no trend to his behavior my brain can pick up let alone explain,
Michael hates all religions, I believe. Although he does not demand that people be jailed or threatened with arrest if one wants to change religion. Sam hates Christianity and Christians, thinking them stupid and idiotic, not to mention a few other choice terms thrown in this and another thread. Now, reading through this thread, Sam has been the only one acting the bigot. Michael hasn't really taken that much part in this discussion.other than he hates islam period,
I would respond if you had made some sense..and even that isn't absolutely clear to me as in how and why and for what and other stuff, he's just slippery and doesn't get tired of repeating himself it just drives me CRAZY..
but along comes sam and delivers the knockout, BAM!.. my hero!!:yay:..lol
and a bit of maple syrup splashes onto the crispy baconMmmm waffles.. with some maple syrup and crispy bacon on the side..
Oh scifes, please.i was never a fan of countering fire with fire (lol what a pun!), but that was mainly because i was never that good at it, while sam is very capable of intelligent argument, she's also capable of complete bigotry, and that's what you need with a fellow complete bigot, take me for example, i simply can't deal with michael, he has no trend to his behavior my brain can pick up let alone explain, other than he hates islam period, and even that isn't absolutely clear to me as in how and why and for what and other stuff, he's just slippery and doesn't get tired of repeating himself it just drives me CRAZY..

I'm sorry: in which part of that thread was meant to be the religious condemnation? I don't recall it, but perhaps with your magical powers you can discern more, as you discern less.
I'm really not aware of your or Sciforums' "longstanding traditions" on the matter, Tiassa: but holding your protege up to her own standards is certainly a tradition of mine. The question is just as offensive when she proposes it in the manner she does, which one would expect a moderator of Ethics to understand, ethically.
I'm sure I've asked this before, but exactly why are you the moderator of Ethics, again?
Oh, and as it's only Muslims I apparently take to task for this issue, are you then announcing your own reversion to that faith?
As a Hypothetical EXAMPLE: Think about how it would be to live in a Fundamentalist Christian community where it's ILLEGAL for you to convert to Islam. Where Christians who convert to Islam are threatened, jailed and even MURDERED. And then, to justify this behavior someone (who just so happens to be Christian) says, well scifes, if something is right (the Bible), and the rest is wrong (the Qur'an), then laws are there to enforce that which is absolutely right (Christianity).
How do you think that would make YOU feel. What if your Mosque was burned to the ground for the crime of using the word Allah. Suppose the Christians, who used the word Allah to refer to the One God 600 years BEFORE Muslims, used that as their logic. We used it first - therefor you can't. See, you can't argue with logic like that. Because it isn't logical. It's illogical and bigoted. But, the Christian can't see that. Because they truly think the Bible is Perfect, the Qur'an is bullshit, and you shouldn't use the word Allah because it may trick good Christians into following you to hell.
Frankly, Geoff, I didn't think it required magick. Usually, with things like this, literacy suffices: #2046016/5

Possibly because she is...?Funny, that. For the most part, that's what S.A.M.'s been doing to other people. And some of my colleagues are convinced that this is arguing in bad faith.
I believe she is being treated exactly as she treats others on this forum. If she acts like a bigot and a twat, she will be treated as such.Are you admitting to arguing in bad faith?
Ah yes, the good old days when you actually stood for something instead of being a blind mouse following her pipe.I'm sure I've said this before: I was elected.
/Facepalm..How can I revert to something I've never been?
But why only religious persecution, Michael? How about, for no reason at all?
Isn't it better if you're tortured, killed, sent off to concentration camps from which you disappear for no reason at all? How about if you're stripped naked, have rods thrust up your anus, get attacked by dogs for no reason at all?
How about if you have your home demolished, your mosque blown up, your kids burned down with white phosphorus, your family disembered by drones, your Quran flushed down the toilet, for no reason at all?
How about you open the newspaper to see your son, his face a mask of death, with a pretty girl doing a thumbs up sign over his dead body and discover that he died after hours and hours of torture, after which he was thrown into an unnamed grave which no one bothered to record, for no reaon at all?
How about if all this is shrugged off as "stuff happens"?
Would it be preferable if the Malaysians treated people like that?
I mean, we are ultimately talking about a spit out piece of wafer and extrapolating to unsubstantiated fantasies of what it entailed. I didn't read anything in the article those journalists finally wrote to support any of your claims, so I wonder, what exactly drives your crusade here? Could it be...no reason at all?
What is it that drives people like you and Geoff and all those good secular people in your society who go on prolonged demonising and killing sprees, for no reason at all?
tiassa said:Funny, that. For the most part, that's what S.A.M.'s been doing to other people. And some of my colleagues are convinced that this is arguing in bad faith. Are you admitting to arguing in bad faith?
Are we still talking about the OP here? Can someone please tell me what the journalists did, apart from spitting out a wafer that has the Christians so oppressed they are running helter skelter in search of shelter?
How about making up a rumour of illegal conversions and deceitfully posing as Catholics to gain entry into the Church, take communion (for God knows what reason), spit it out and photograph and publish the image... all to spy on Catholics who may "gasp" be baptising someone who may have wished to convert to Catholicism.. When no one was converting and they knew it because they made it up..
