Apparently you're having reading issues. I wrote "your parochialism is obvious."

I don't know the specifics of your experiences, never claimed to, and don't care to. But what I do know is that foreign living instills a cosmopolitanism, the lack of which is painfully obvious in your case.

That's how you were easy to peg.

Or maybe you happen to agree with them and so don't notice.

Was that cosmopolitanism or pretentiousness? I may have a reading issue indeed.

Saying I was "easy to peg" actually does mean that you know my experience, though, as you have apparently correctly pegged me. Are you talking about being right about my never having been to a Muslim country (I'll say you guessed that I haven't been to a predominantly Muslim country, even though it was a question you asked)? Considering most people haven't been to predominantly Muslims countries, I wouldn't give myself too much credit on that one if I were you.

And your source on that would be? Other than the ass you pulled that assumption from?

Who is most anyway? Your little insular experience with your insular environment?

All liberals and atheists love Islam because of our secret desire to dress up as bee keepers for Halloween and wank off to the thought of stoning people to death. Now you finally know the truth.

Lol, "pretentious". I don't need to pretend on this score, it was pretty much shooting fish in a barrel.

Seriously, if you think that being able to spot your parochial nature and yes, make an educated guess that you don't meet up with the standards you impose on others, means that I should know all your experiences, I don't know what to tell you -- there's a conceptual gap there that you're completely missing.

I'm certainly not claiming special insight, but what I am saying is that there is a difference between an educated guess and a baseless assumption, and that's a difference you seem to have great trouble processing.

Also, the fact that you would hold a double standard greatly weakens your stance. There's no sense getting pissed because someone could meet it anyway.

Atheists don't prefer Islam. If you think that you haven't been paying much attention to this forum.

You know 1 thing about me, and that is that I haven't visited any Muslim countries. I could have traveled extensively for all you know. I could be an ex-Muslim for all you know. You have nothing except bluster and this alleged double standard of mine you seem to cling to for dear life, and it's boring and disingenuous at this point. You're a number 2 on my list IMO. It's an ego thing, you're enlightened and "cosmopolitan" (who calls themselves that? Other than pretentious douchebags..). Now I've waited a day for your reply about refugees but I'm gonna just be done with this; it's gone on long enough. Last word's yours, go for it.

*yawn*

All true liberals and atheists know damn well that wanking off to the thought of stoning people to death while dressed as a bee keeper is good all 365 days of the year.

Halloween! Fucking poser.
