You are so proud of your Hitler Youth Manifesto of Madness third class junior college term paper.
Were you not taught statistics during 'degree in sociology' :lbf:

What's your degree in? What's that, you don't have one? What do you do for a living? Want to compare resumes? I have my feet up in MY comfortable house, got a little time to kill before I jump in MY pool. What do you say?

Didn’t you know she’s a successful attorney? A successful attorney that spends all of her time on M Solo.
 
Paul is responsible for mass genocide over centuries? I’d say that’s preposterous and false. I guess it’s true for some extremist readers, but you’re making a huge mistake with a generalization like that. Then again, I wouldn’t consult you on issues concerning the Bible.

Where do you think the notion for the blood libel came from, if not from the New Testament? When Jesus is telling the Jews, "you belong to your father the devil, the father of lies," it's not extreme for a reader to conclude from that the Jews are wicked. gashonthenail is correct about Paul. Paul was a self-hating, apostate Jew. He believed the law was a curse, and that the Jews had a veil covering their hardened hearts (2 Corinthians 3:14-15) which made them enemies of the gospel (1 Thessalonians 2:15-16). Have you ever seen the movie, The Believer, with Ryan Gosling? It's about the phenomenon of Jewish self-loathing and misotheism. It's almost a version of Paul, except instead of being delivered from evil by a redeemer cult, he leans into his hatred and becomes a Nazi. Based on a true story, too. Anyway:

Gregor clearly knows nothing about the topic. It seems bizarre too that someone accusing others of racism clearly knows nothing about the role of Christianity in the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Americas and Africa, to say nothing of the massacres of the Cathars, or the Inquisition.

Knows nothing? Now why would you say that? I can’t name every single racist atrocity in history as an example. Those are all great example of both racist atrocities and sickening crimes in the name of Christianity.

I think that’s an extreme way of reading the Bible. Extreme, verbatim and very impressionable. Then again there are a lot of extreme readings floating around. When Jesus says what he says he does so in affect. He loses his temper. He is after all fully human (and fully God). But he is also speaking about the new covenant. The same with Paul. He too was speaking of the new covenant, with the arduousness of a recent convert. To take these words and equate them with a call to annihilate the Jews is completely absurd.

But I’m sure that’s exactly what certain nutcases have done in the past.

Right, the blood libel reading used to be the common one, but it isn't any longer. But who's to say it's the correct one? I think gash was playfully trolling you on Christianity to get you to see the problem of subjectivity. There are, in fact, people who consider the bible hate speech even if you yourself don't. So who makes the determination? In my country, we recently saw the hilarious "own goal" of Christian Zionists in congress voting for an anti-Semitism law that would effectively ban passages of the bible.

I’m sure there are. But I still get the feeling that this isn’t quite as big of an issue as the racism we see in society today. Trolling is fine for some, but when you blatantly deny facts and certain very dangerous elements of society, it’s plain stupid.

I guess this is just a difference between our countries, but anti-Semitism is currently a hot-button issue here in America. There are politicians and pundits who think we're nearing the level of 1933 Germany; Donald Trump has promised in his second term to deport any foreigner studying here who has a negative opinion of Israel (which in his view makes them anti-Semitic and anti-American).

That said, racism is definitely a big deal too, but I don't think the solution is hate speech laws, because it's still going to be fraught with the same problem of subjectivity. As people have already brought up, Morrissey's sub-species comment can be seen as racism or hate speech, and for some people it is. Who makes the determination?
 
Some serious small dick energy to find the time to post all that. Get a job.

“All that”, what, three pictures and an article? Do you think I created the pictures myself or something? You and Gaylord are obsessed with penis size, and let me tell you something Johnnie, I GUARANTEE my dick is bigger than yours! I measured it a few years ago and while it’s not gargantuan or anything, it’s about the same size as your average Dutchman/Cuban/Zambian/Italian’s, and that is 6 and 1/4 inches. You, meanwhile, strike me as someone who has about a 5-incher AT BEST! And let me tell you something else: I remember a long time ago I showed mine to a woman from Texas and she told me “Jesus Christ, you could hit a girl’s back wall with that”, and Johnnie, you know everything is bigger in Texas so I think she knew what she was talking about! Now, any other uninformed comments?

Your mom seemed to like mine. How's she doing?
 
Oh, a moderator (I wonder which vulgarian could have done that) left Johnnie’s “small dick energy” post but moved my reply. Now I have to quote my reply but with a few key words to make sure I’m not ‘off topic’ (in an off topic thread :rolleyes:): Donald Trump, assassination attempt, black crime statistics, immigration, Emmett Till, Rodney King, clueless liberals, FBI, Biden, Alt Right, presidential election, gun laws, Clinton, Pelosi, MY DICK:

Leave me alone, like I have asked you to so many times.
You have? Anyway, it’s an open forum. And besides, didn’t you have me on ignore?

Yes, I have, for two years and I have ignored you quite a bit. Why is it so hard for you to just leave me alone? Do you not have any self esteem? Obviously not since you continually chase people around and try to get them to like you.
Why don't you practice that 'common decency' you natter on about and just leave someone alone when they ask you to.
Even with you on ignore I can still see someone who I have on ignore has quoted me.
You are an absolute moron, you just got your hand held for pages and pages while you kicked and screamed and accused people of all kinds of things they were not saying or doing. You were told you did not have a clue about anything you were talking about.
You have absolutely no clue what I meant when I said Harris is not very black, because you are dumb and like to insert your stupid commentary into everything no matter how foolish you look. So keep making an ass of yourself, not my problem. Keep begging for my attention whilst I kick you out of the way and stomp you with my shiny boots of hate.
