Atheists & Agnostics

(7,795 posts)I already anticipated this B.S. in the original post, and addressed it there. The things a group does are always within the context of who the group is, and what it has done before. To take this to an extreme, in a hopefully-not-futile attempt to make the example clear enough for you: if a Nazi group held a holocaust remembrance event, it would not be the same thing as it would if a bunch of Jewish people did the same. Even if they both had the exact same exhibition of photographs. Even if they both served fucking cake.
And the "citations plz" shit in this case is fucking obnoxious as well. As if it would be worthwhile to artificially limit ourselves to accepting only the officially adopted motives of people who are, in fact, our enemies. There's plenty of evidence of these people's disposition toward Muslims. This fucking stupid "where's the evidence" call is equivalent to some moronic reviewer saying you need to provide citations for the existence of hydrogen bonding. No, I don't need to do that. That these people are bigoted assholes is well and truly established.
