"Sharia law makes a lot of sense" - Linda Sarsour

[Amarok]

"Intelligience."  Brilliant, Tobie.  No, really.  Writing simple  English is so much easier than logic and reason, so if you fail at the most basic level of writing to communicate, what hope is there for you to think about serious matters.

As i said you can be good at one thing and bad at others . Their is no vertical hierarchy of subjects .  English is easier if your an english speaker i'm not . That says nothing about one's reasoning skills . So again ad hominem . If i say too plus too equalize four. my spelling of two has not altered the mathematical fact that two plus two equals four . your attacking an irrelevant point .

"MY" second point was not mine, but your fellow atheist's.  HE said that opinions voiced decades ago are out of date and therefore invalid because they were, in his tortured thinking, too old.  I brought up Newton because his calculus is still brilliant and useful.

And i  brought up the fact that information can be out of date (and yours was ) .And that your examples are ironically just that out of date as was already pointed out . As is the opinions of the people you quoted on the subject of the bible and christianity . And the only tortured reasoning here is yours for trotting out quotes as if those opinions stand on their own instead of bringing an actual case for christianity .

I made no mention of Newton's "opinions on religion," much less the mating "habbits" of the common shrew.

And you missed the point . Just because a person is rationale on subject X does not mean they are correct about Y . And your quotes are arguments from authority. This smart person saisd x therefore that alone makes x true that's fallacious.

Grow up and learn how to think, Tobie.  It's important.

Pot , Kettle , Black ,

Now you see, there are countless responses to my writings.  Should I ignore all of them?  You will accuse me of being fearful and running away from discussion.  If I respond, I am "trolling."  You hateful atheists are so intolerant, you have an accusation to spear anyone you hate.

Your going to anyway . And more of your projecting.

Oh and he never took my challenge to translate the inuit sentence i put up . So guess he isn't intelligent for not knowing the basics to language he never uses . I also challenge him too write basic Korean if he can't he's not intelligent or Arabic or French or Spanish or German. After all if you can communicate we can't trust you to recognize the law of noncontradiction or the principle modus ponens. And everyone knows you can't be able to read a language without being able to write in it . Oh wait yes you can .

You do realize that atheists generally consider Christians and Muslims BOTH deluded. Sharia law is just as horrifying as Mosaic law. It's a good thing not to many people follow the OT to the letter, eh? Otherwise a sex slave trade would be allowed to exist (so long as you don't beat your slaves to death, that is.)

And when we have a mass shooting in Florida, instead of passing sane regulations for firearms, the GOP majority in that state wants to gang tag "In God We Trust" on all public schools. Because a mere plaque will stop bullets. 

When conservatives say, "God's, guns and bibles" is a slur, then why do they always act like they want a theocracy?

Great, continue to ignore my point. 

Newton's calculus is brilliant, but like I said, it has no bearing on whether his other opinions are or not. 

I do enough thinking already, thank you. I would advise you to give it a go though - maybe brush up on the basic premises of debating

It's a skill lost on him after all he can't write basic  Japanese so that proves he not smart and can't handle basic reasoning or logic. Because books on philosophy are written in only one language . Actually no i'm sure he's flawless and understands the basics of every subject ever conceived. He better or he's not smart and can't reason .

Perhaps dont jump to such conclusions as me defending sharia law or me having no problem with it being implemented, especially when your mind is set on one particular conception of sharia. And considering that the person being discussed in the OP is a progressive, what youre arguing here is irrelevant. Because her idea of sharia is not what youre thinking, nor is she hoping that what youre thinking of be eventually implemented in the US (in a sense its already implemented in the US per her interpretation). She has different ideas of jihad and sharia and such, not unlike many moderate Muslims, adhering to conceptions that are abstract principles as opposed to promoting barbaric practices which you speak of. Not every Muslim advocating sharia or talking positively about it is thinking of the same sharia you and the fearmongering right on Fox News think of, deliberately or not.

Except that the sharia that I'm talking actually exists, in reality, for millions of people.

Say what you want. She's cool, and that's that.

You need to watch "A Matter of Gravity" by professor John Lennox, of Oxford University.
It is on YouTube.com

Lennox is a lying  apologist hack

I mean, it could be true, I don't know anything about her. Being cool doesn't make someone infallible. Its odd when people agree with someone's politics they feel the sudden need to defend everything they say. Sharia is a religious law anyway you cut it, atheists shouldn't be defending any definition of it, even one that has white washed how it's actually used in the middle East.

I wonder how much she'd enjoy living in a country that uses Sharia in its legal code? I'd guess not at all.

Board and turd do not rhyme! You're atheist and not good at poetry, therefore god exists.

No no he not good at basic poetry therefore can't be trusted to use reason or logic because those are harder . It's not like you can be a bad poet and under logic at the same time . That's silly

Starman seems to me angry at not god.
