K&R 2naSalit Feb 2019 #1

The people with the power and influence to ruin America are the ones ruining America? Act_of_Reparation Feb 2019 #2

But Boston Atheists kicked a Trump supporter out of their group! trotsky Feb 2019 #3

Don't lump me, myself and I in with this American 'christianity'. sprinkleeninow Feb 2019 #4

"White nationalism" is the issue. eom guillaumeb Feb 2019 #5

White supremacy has deep christian roots Lordquinton Feb 2019 #6

Is there any other kind? NeoGreen Feb 2019 #7

There are a few neo-pagan white nationalists marylandblue Feb 2019 #8

Interesting that you would say this: guillaumeb Feb 2019 #10

"Too Many Atheists Are Veering Dangerously Toward the Alt-Right" Lordquinton Feb 2019 #13

What you mean is: guillaumeb Feb 2019 #15

No, it means that the claim is not supported with facts. MineralMan Feb 2019 #16

Again, slightly reworded, guillaumeb Feb 2019 #17

Why would it surprise you that more than one person asked you MineralMan Feb 2019 #18

Do you understand that the original post is based on a blog post? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #19

Do you not understand that I mentioned that very fact in MineralMan Feb 2019 #20

No, you actually did not. Here is your first post: guillaumeb Feb 2019 #21

I mean what I said Lordquinton Feb 2019 #23

There is the literal meaning of the words, guillaumeb Feb 2019 #30

Until it is all dismissed as metaphor. (nt) NeoGreen Feb 2019 #31

Metaphor is a non-literal reading. eom guillaumeb Feb 2019 #32

Yep, so that the text dosen't mean what is actually written... NeoGreen Feb 2019 #45

The first statement is clearly metaphorical. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #47

Cool story bro. (nt) NeoGreen Feb 2019 #50

Weak dismissal. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #51

Sure, let's go with that and call it a day. (nt) NeoGreen Feb 2019 #52

You are not qualified to speak about anyone's motivation and meaning MineralMan Feb 2019 #33

And do you feel qualified? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #35

My comments are my opinions. MineralMan Feb 2019 #39

What does that mean? Lordquinton Feb 2019 #36

What did you not understand? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #38

So what are you saying? Lordquinton Feb 2019 #40

How many atheists turning right would be the optimum amount? marylandblue Feb 2019 #68

The same amount as Christians turning right. Lordquinton Feb 2019 #72

Well, I would pin that number as zero. marylandblue Feb 2019 #73

One atheist joined a Christian movement Lordquinton Feb 2019 #74

The article was clearly talking about more than that marylandblue Feb 2019 #75

Atheism is a non-belief in one thing. To lump all atheists rurallib Feb 2019 #56

I do not put atheists or theists in one simple category. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #58

Nazi said what? Voltaire2 Feb 2019 #63

Are white supremacist attitudes limited to Christians? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #9

Yes, it is a Christian based system Lordquinton Feb 2019 #12

It takes a special kind of Cogniative Dissonance to argue against... NeoGreen Feb 2019 #14

We're also running into another classic deflection Lordquinton Feb 2019 #22

I do get somewhat annoyed when... NeoGreen Feb 2019 #26

I think it's much simpler than constantly being offended Lordquinton Feb 2019 #34

Apply #33 to your remarks. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #37

White supremacy is a Christian based system Lordquinton Feb 2019 #41

White supremacy in a majority white, majority Christian country, guillaumeb Feb 2019 #42

Clearly you are ignorant on the subject Lordquinton Feb 2019 #54

Clearly........something. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #57

And instead of honestly engaging in the discussion you again just try to reframe Lordquinton Feb 2019 #67

Please do not refer to my posts in chiding another poster. MineralMan Feb 2019 #43

More insult and condescension. As expected. Why do you feel this need to insult others? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #44

Please stop. MineralMan Feb 2019 #46

And the constant insults? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #48

Any DUer can reply to whatever posts he or she pleases. MineralMan Feb 2019 #49

Poor, poor persecuted Gil. Mariana Feb 2019 #69

Copying "t". guillaumeb Feb 2019 #71

You do no one any favors by trying to rewrite history and ignore reality. trotsky Feb 2019 #24

Yep, I thought so... NeoGreen Feb 2019 #25

Absolutely. trotsky Feb 2019 #29

But wait, there's this one atheist who is a racist. MineralMan Feb 2019 #59

Don't forget Boston Atheists kicking out the obnoxious Trump supporter! trotsky Feb 2019 #60

But, wait...DU does that, too... MineralMan Feb 2019 #64

It's only intolerant when atheists do it. trotsky Feb 2019 #65

Damn! I always forget that... MineralMan Feb 2019 #66

yes, when I was a kid, what went on in churches stayed in churches. demigoddess Feb 2019 #11

Recent Ch et istian theocratic ruling by SCOTUS is proof Panich52 Feb 2019 #27

I really believe that parts of the country would be a Theocracy if possible. walkingman Feb 2019 #28

A Dictatorial Theocracy atreides1 Feb 2019 #53

The whole country would be a theocracy in short order if they could arrange it rurallib Feb 2019 #55

Parts of the country *are* a theocracy. Act_of_Reparation Feb 2019 #61

Of course they would. Mariana Feb 2019 #70
