The apology was for a very specific post I made:
https://atheistforums.org/thread-60116-p...pid1955396
The apology was for "one post" not for "my whole posts in this topic". You are a bigot, so as the member Fake Messiah, both of you are xenophobes, both of you are obsessively justifying bigotry against Muslim women -and Muslims as a whole-. I didn't say sorry to this.
It looks like you badly misunderstood me; I'm not playing kindergarten hide-and-seek with you. The member Belacqua showed a very decent opinion -and so many of non-Muslims in our world declare it-; while you showed a very shameful act pointing to sever sickness in your heart, you -and Fake Messiah- are nothing but anti-Muslim bigots that can't handle a woman doing what she wants with her body.
Once again, your claim that @"FakeMessiah" and I are bigoted against Muslims is totally unfounded, so I hardly even feel the need to defend myself against such a nonsensical statement. So your talk of me "obsessively" justifying anything is just silly man. Total nonsense. I've calmly explained to you my point of view, and you clearly disagree - which is okay. People are allowed to have different opinions.
But don't just cry racism or bigotry because you cannot properly defend your own position. That's just childish. So, let me repeat myself, so my views are here in black and white, and cannot be twisted or misinterpreted by anyone:
My main issue with Islam, just like my main issue with Christianity, is the suspension of logical and critical thinking that is required to buy into the fairy-tale stories of both religions. My issue with these systems of belief is just that - the "belief" part. Beliefs that are backed by no sound rationale or empirical evidence, but rather blind faith - because they read something in a book that was written a long time ago. That's silly, and that's not how the world works, at least not successfully.
The iPhone wasn't built on faith, ya' know? Maybe hope... or maybe vision. But faith? No.
So, despite your excited ranting about Fake and I being "bigots," that couldn't be farther from the truth. I have no issue with the woman or man who practices Islam, rather I have issue with the beliefs themselves. I don't really care if you're Turkish, or Italian, or Syrian, or American (by nationality), or Chinese, or Danish, or whatever the fuck else. If you're any of those nationalities, and you're Muslim... I mean, cool? Good for you? Don't really care. My issue is not with the color of your skin nor the flag you pledge allegiance to. My issue is that you suspend logical and critical thinking to have faith in ideas that make no sense.
And, to be even more specific, my issue is really with the ideas themselves more than the person who holds them. As it's been said before, respect the person, hate the religion. Religion is like a plague. It's infecting people. It's gross.
Not to mention, I find it ironic for you to call me a bigot for criticizing Islam, but not Christianity. It seems like you're cherry-picking quite a bit there.
So I'm not sure if you're aware of what you're doing but you're just hoping to hide behind this whole, "You're a racist scheme" so you don't actually have to defend your own ideas, or if you've actually been brainwashed enough to think what you're saying is actually true.
Criticizing Islam =/= bigotry.
Killing folks for being trans or gay because it goes against your religion however... = bigotry.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
