Our forum t-shirts aren't concealing our appearance,

Neither does a Hijab. Unless you want to count hair as concealing appearance.

Newsflash, not everyone wears Hijabs or burqa's because they are being forced to, but because they chose to.

And they are being anti-social not because of the way society looks at them?

So basically you would agree on a tax for the way people present themselves in public, how very libertarian of you.

(Emphasis added now). As I said, among other things - it's a symbol of injustice to women, all with no support. It gets a free ticket, it shouldn't. Whenever we think "Religion" we might as well think "Delusion" - and I don't think it's ever a good thing to give delusion - and potentially harmful delusion at that - a free ride. It just doesn't cut it to claim it's 'only a scarf'. It's what it represents that matters. It's not something that should just be taken out of context like that.

And who are you to decide what it represents to the person wearing it?

(My emphasis added now).

You want to cherrypick your quote, so can I.

You were talking about are shirts being secular (they are not, there is nothing about a politial system in the shirts) but yet you would agree with a tax a government would impose on a specific religion.

And you don't think that is hypocritical in the slightest?

(September 16, 2009 at 7:19 pm)EvidenceVsFaith Wrote: The scarfs don't' just represent scarfs, they represent injustice, and the free ticket that the delusion that is religion gets in general.

Prove it, show me where it represents injustice on the women that wears a hijab. What should be taxed next EVF? Crosses around peoples necks? Turbans?
