As if I didn't in other posts like when I mentioned slavemongering and warmongering Muslim past, or that they marry their cousins, but this guy always yells "bigot" because he can't fight facts so he is playing victim. No wonder the kill people like me in his country.

What is there to know? Bunch of people pray to a fucking rock and I find it ridiculous - what, do you find it profound?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I was attempting to show you how absurd it is to simply ignore things that are not harmful to you personally.  Have you ever donated to a disaster relief effort for a country you've never been to?  Have you ever volunteered at a homeless shelter or a soup kitchen that you don't use?  Have you ever contributed money to help research into a disease you don't have?

If you've done any of these things (or a hundred others I can thing of), then you know what I'm talking about.  If you haven't, then you're a myopic, self-absorbed shit.

I think about other countries since I was a teen; it turns out I'm a human who believes that races/color should only be used for recognition of the many humans, just recognition. So I have to feel for everybody since I don't quite advocate race.

I can't volunteer for many reason; financial and sometimes the effort is too much . There is a lot of charity that I didn't do, but I have my reasons..

My post can be said in other words: "if your house is made out of glass don't stone the neighbors".

So, even if you're unable to donate to various causes, you at least think about the plight of other people.  This makes your 'ignore things which don't affect you' stance untenable.

'People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones' doesn't even remotely match up to what you said earlier.

Kill you; in Saudi Arabia??
I have to smile here, Saudi Arabia is well known for..opening its private parts to Kuffar; they even cried for American -Kafir- help in operation Desert Storm; the exchanges even began as early as the foundation of the famous A.R.A.M.C.O oil company..
Don't worry..Kafirs with western passports live like the masters here. But are you white, or if not do you know a white friend to accompany to Saudi Arabia? so many love the Kafir Patriot system that protects them from Iran..

I object to the use of the k-word, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't use it.

The ignoring is more of a numbness, a doctor might not like what happened to their patients but the many encounters with disease made the doctor numb. The news of misery are so many that I grew numb.

How the hell doesn't it match? look:

'People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones'
(you)

"if your house is made out of glass don't stone the neighbors".
(me)

It's the same !!! with "other words" !!!

The arabic version of a hood wearing uncle, trying to take a board full of bleeding heart libs to task.

It's precious.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

That is completely unconnected to your earlier point that things you disagree with should be ignored.

You mis-phrased it. I was using the correct version.  But it isn't that they don't match each other, it's that they don't match your earlier statements.

You're looking more and more like someone who said something stupid and is now trying to cover their tracks.  It isn't working.

It's not one of the choices, but I would choose Satanism. He's weaker than God. Why would I follow a loser?

Maybe because Satan is more moral being than God.

RE: Which is religion wins the prize for the most mindblowingly, bat-shitterymost of all?
ISKCON is a weird religion because they forbid illicit sex (sex other than for procreation) and yet take one of its most fervent followers: George Harrison. That guy had crazy monkey sex with lots of women although he was married (even in that Scorsese documentary about him his wife said "They ask me 'what is the secret for long marriage?' Well, you don't get divorced")

And yet George insisted that all people who were not Hare Krishna were brainwashed, although he himself couldn't follow Hare Krishna rules. And that is so typical of all religious people in almost all religions.
