The Newly Departed thread: announcements (departures)
RE: The Newly Departed thread: announcements (departures)
This is a bit harsh for my blood. If I can't give someone anymore sympathy, I just don't say anything, unless they're a cunt. Then I say cunty things to them because I too am a cunt.

I'm not saying to go and try to make her feel bad but I seriously didn't post many photos of my daughter on this site for fear of hurting her. Then I decided that while I am so fucking sad for her and I would never wish what happened to her on anyone I'm still allowed to be happy about my life. Hence the avatar change to my monkey finally, almost a year later.

If she did stop following you on Fb I feel sure it would just be not to see the photos herself.  I can't imagine she'd actually want you not to post them at all.  That wouldn't be reasonable.  

It sure seems as if motherhood cuts deep though, at least for some women.  You all bear a heavy weight for us all by carrying that reproduction apparatus.  That shit is dangerous as fuck for both mind and body.

Nice to have some cunt game though when the need arises.

Honestly, this place is way more forgiving to theists than any religious site is to atheists. With most religious forums, if you're an atheist, you are given a different set of rules to comply by and that includes barely being able to debate or really speak your mind against their viewpoints. 

Shiachat.com is an exception to this. It allowed Atheists to say whatever they please and even allowed me to post 28 problems I had with Quran.

This site is good, but shiachat.com, people were very respectful to Atheists, and even me, while I was an apostate, most stayed very compassionate and respectful.

I know the same is not true of Christian sites in general nor Sunni.

But Shiachat.com has impressed me even though I am no longer a member there, and it's dying out slowly, it was an awesome experience, and I talked to all sorts of people there.

They are intolerant to one people though - Shia hating Wahabis. And I don't blame them in that regard. They don't let them post non-sense propaganda and lies to stir the pot.

I won’t join shiachat  - I have no interest in poking my nose into an explicitly Islamic website (nowt to do with Islam, I don’t join ANY religious sites).  

But I did stop by to have a peek at their rules, and I very much doubt that they’re as tolerant as you claim.  First rule:

Quote:

  1. Blasphemy of any kind (impious utterance or action) towards Allah (sw), Prophet Muhammad (saww), the Ahlul-Bayt and any Prophet of Allah, shall be met with a permanent ban from this site. No warning is necessary.

Blasphemy means like insulting, it particularly means, you can't come on there and start mocking the Prophet with that kind of tone. But you can discuss verses, hadiths, and discuss whether Islam is true or not. I post 28 problems I had with Quran and I also left Islam, they didn't ban for that, nor they did stop me from posting.

They have an Atheist/Philosophy section as well. To discuss Theism with Atheists.

This is one thing you guys over all don't do well. You don't try to see what people mean by words and their interpretation, you try to interpret it in the worse way possible and get into semantic war as if words are absolute and not dynamic per person and people and per perspective and per context.

People interpreted Hitler's words as good, as him being a good person. Was he good in reality, or were they deluding themselves?

The same logic applies to deities and religion.

If an omnipotent being needs his fallible followers to defend him, then how omnipotent can he truly be?

I wonder if it has a section to submit images?
