It's not me who wrote this:


In other words you're saying: "shut up with your criticism to me; my faith my thoughts my property".

In other words?  You must mean, 'in completely different words,' lol.  Pool is saying exactly what you just quoted him as saying, Atlas.  Don't assign beliefs to him that doesn't hold. He's simply asking not to be strawmanned.  It's a fair request.  If you disagree on a straw-man accusation then just say so, and present your evidence.  You're just piling straw on top of straw with this comment.

Yes; in other words? You say it when a sentence or a statement carry an implicit meaning.

So somebody is a Catholic. So I tell them "you worship Jesus and condemn anybody saying otherwise to be in hell; just like your official clergy say". And I am pulling a strawman because of this?

I'm not piling straws. I'm calling Catholicism for being what it is; Islam for being what it is; and getting bashed for it; accepting that because it's a public debate forum, where I'm expecting to get my opinion criticized.

You don't have the right to touch my personal life, but whatever belief or faith I put here is subject to discussion and criticism.
That's not a strawman argument; LFC
