I don't get the suddenly rude tone. Trying to save face?
But if you're used to quick chit chat about the big questions, or mistakenly think that biased, superficial thoughts, while sitting comfortably in your sofa, about sweet people thinking that god loves us all, are going to have any kind of weight in these discussions, just say it.
Go. Run. You're free.
The message I had hoped you would receive was that you have no say in how I choose to respond to you, unless I violate the rules of the forum, in which case you can inform a moderator.
If I respond to anything you say, please take it as a compliment: either you've posted something I think needs to be addressed or something interesting enough to warrant a comment, or you've amused me. We're still at a point where I don't find your posts completely not worth the time it takes to read them, I'm hoping we don't get there; but you're not making it easy.

Of course Thomas Jefferson would be in prison for owning slaves if he were alive today (and owned slaves). Why on earth would you need someone to say something so obvious?

Well it does seem to inspire a lot of misogyny and hate. Look at ISIS that is what at least some Islamic thought goes to.
Killing homosexuals, repressing other religions and ethnicities including mass rape in the name of their religion.
Any Islamic country you care to point at takes it to an oppressive place where the ladies are forced to cover up.
I'm sure it has some nice bits, but that isn't what we're complaining about.
There are about 50 Muslim-majority countries. Not all of them require women to wear traditional Arab clothing. The hijab is banned in public schools, universities, and government buildings in Azerbaijan, Kosovo, and Tunisia. Algeria, Cameroon, Chad, Morocco, and Tunisia have banned burqas and full-face veils. Many other Muslim-majority countries neither require nor enforce wearing the hijab, though in some of those cultural pressure to wear them is high.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
