When did I say that? Call me an asshole all you want but at least have the courtesy of doing so in respect to shit I've actually said.
I know muslims too and I can tell you they are exactly as I describe (although I don't remember describing them all that much in this thread...). Guess that's worth diddleesquat.
Quote:I am not a supporter of Christianity, either, and I attack both vociferously, as I have for the 22 years I have been a nonbeliever (17 as an outright and outspoken atheist, an "upgrade" from my previous "simply not a believer"/justdontgiveafuckist stance).
Cool.

Nobody's forcing you dude.
Quote: If you can't grasp that social pressure to conform to their family/social group is real, is overwhelmingly strong regardless of the overall liberty of the nation (say the US or UK), it's either because you don't understand sociology or won't empathize with people who are not of your (our!) belief structure. Therefore it is not worth my time to lower myself to your emotional "debate" level.
Ah, the old "you can't grasp the situation" fallacy. Basically nothing more than an ad hom here.
I don't think it worth my time talking to someone who is going to wilfully ignore my points and shout "you don't understand" in the face of them. Pretty ironic really. And pretty weak.
Inabit m8.
