M*W: I've explained to you a number of times that I do not believe all Muslims lie. It is just S.A.M. who lies, that's obvious to a lot of members of this forum.
I said nothing in the post you quoted about lying or SAM, so for the life of me I cannot see why you are bringing these things up.
Abrahamic religion are "evil." Just look at the bible myths about Abraham. Abraham wasn't a real person. He represented the first sign of the zodiac - Aries, the Ram. Is there any part of this you don't understand?
It is irrelevent. I am not interested in, nor have I asked you about, your view on the Abrahamic religions. I have asked you whether you believe the things you have said. I am trying to find out if you are an honest poster here, a confused poster who does not know what she writes, or something else.
As an atheist and former christian, I find theists to be lacking in logic and reason. IMO, anyone not dealing with logic and reason is hopeless.
So, therefore, your Christian children and your Muslim friends are hopeless.
My Muslim friends are theists. I don't try to push my atheism on them, but in all fairness, they sometimes (not always) try to convince me of the wonders of Islam. They are subtle about it, and this doesn't change the way I feel about them. I have shown a few of them S.A.M.'s posts, and they all said that S.A.M. doesn't know what she's talking about, so I trust in their judgment.
Absolutely irrelevent.
We all agree that you don't know me. I don't know you. You have a limited perception of what others say. Sometimes you need to look at the context of the entire thought and not just single out a word, phrase or sentence.
Sure. But if I say, for example,
Cherokees are all failures.
Even if the meaning might be somehow offset by the context, it would be a reasonable question for you or other people here to ask if I really believe that. I have done that a number of times and you seem to be avoiding taking a stand on your statements.
Above you do take responsibility for thinking that all theists are hopeless. Regardless of the context surrounding that phrase in other posts YOU DID IN FACT mean that. So this leaves open the question of whether you actually think the devotees of the Abrahamic religions are evil. You said that also.
All you need to say is things like
I was being polemical; no I do not believe that literally.
I was trying to get a reaction; I do not believe that.
Etc.
Or, of course, if it is true, you could say you believe they are all evil.
Also, I have explained to you that I titled my thread "Muslims lie," to elicit an emotional reaction. That's exactly what the title of the thread did. Obviously, you and a couple of others could not go beyond the idea that you think I'm a bigot. My thread provided exactly what I thought it would, and I would not retract the title of that thread. It served the purpose I set out to obtain. Words don't always have to be literal to make a point. Don't jump to conclusions about anything you read and nothing you hear.
It's funny I could imagine SAM saying exactly the same thing about her posts.
