your perception is dog water based upon years of echo chambers rotting out your ability to think logically 
That looks suspiciously like a poisoning of the well fallacy, though tacking the word logically on the end was a nice piece of irony though.

Is that why you come to a predominantly atheist forum, because you don't care about their opinions, very cunning, I mean what are the odds your indoctrinated superstitious beliefs, and the ingrained racism and homophobia you're soaked in, would not meet a receptive audience here. 

Comedy gold, fair play to you.

Sorry, missed it - sure, and as I have stated all along; your perception is dog water based upon years of echo chambers rotting out your ability to think logically - though I was not originally aware of it on post 1; by post 3 or 4 it was clear.

Yes, I am are of your opinion - and just as you don't give a shit about mine, I don't give a shit about yours: so you ain't gotta keep repeating it like any of us care.

Very intelligent and non emotional response. Congratulations, you should consider starting your own mega church.

Apparently your comprehension of mockery is predictably non-existent.   Hehe

Now I need you to pay attention because I think you need this explained to you. The comment  wasn't me agreeing with you, it was me mocking your stupid accusations of racism, thus, the laughing emoji. I understand that's very complex and beyond your understanding and I don't have any crayons to draw any pictures explaining it, but you'll just have to muddle though with the limited mental capacity you have been given. Hehe

 Nah, his perception is excellent, unlike yours, and his ability to think logically far outstrips your feeble pretenses at logic.

It's your right, no one cares about your opinions because they are all moronic. You don't respond to his statements because you know you have no actual response.

(December 15, 2024 at 6:08 pm)Sheldon Wrote: Oh I think we have some posts from you that are unequivocally racially biased, your name doesn't feature. Your claim that it's ok for poor people in slums to die from gun violence for example, and the objective evidence of the demographics of who lives in slums. Is it possible you still don't realise when you're making racist epithets?

Got it - so you are racist who hears "crime and violence" and immediately thinks of minorities.

To be fair, "lukewarm IQ" and "racism" are not too far apart in concept so it checks out.
So a reminder is in order of exactly who has associated crime with ethnicity then:
Quote:TheWhiteMarten

Not all gun violence is created equal... Just keep that shit in the slums.

A civilian being gunned down in the middle of the street? Cheering that on is a failure as a society.
So gun crime is ok when poor people are being gunned down in slums, but when a wealthy white "civilian" as you put it, is gunned down, this marks a level of turpitude you feel obliged to decry. Leaving aside amoral hypocrisy for a moment, the demographics of poverty were offered:

"Blacks have the highest poverty rate at 17.9%, and non-Hispanic whites have the lowest at 7.7%."

CITATION

So it was you, and only you, who associated crime with ethnicity, albeit in a mealy mouthed indirect way. Though everyone could see the racism implicitly implied. 

Off you go, it's handwaving time again...you could always try pretending slums are not universally occupied by poor people? That's a lie you haven't attempted yet.

While we are on cringeworthy street:

Quote:TheWhiteMarten

"Cheering for people being murdered is *not* moral or civil, barbarian."

TheWhiteMarten

"Not all gun violence is created equal... Just keep that shit in the slums."
Oh dear...

When mentions slums we know what groups he means then  he tries this cute game of "No your the racists for clearly calling out my dog whistle " as if that freaking works  Hehe

The fact that homosexuals are a minority in no way implies that their sexuality is unnatural, any more than blue eyes being in the minority means that we with blue eyes are genetically-modified.

That a small percentage of humans behave in an unnatural behavior does not make it "natural" in any moral or practical sense; there would be many crimes that would be "normal" (happen often) that we still would not consider normal.

What makes something natural or unnatural if not whether it occurs in nature?

I'm sorry you find the persecution of over 300 million people laughable; 
Is English not your first language, only that is not remotely what he said? 
Quote:do you think that maybe should be a red flag - say if I was to come here and start justifying the violent persecution of even 10 atheists, started saying it's "laughable" when I hear those atheists are being sold into sex slavery or used as child soldiers after their parents are killed?

I'll try bullet points then:
1. The poster did not say, nor did they remotely imply, that persecution of any demographic was laughable.
2. The poster clearly said, that the notion that Christianity is persecuted was laughable. 
Those are two very different claims. However if someone were to say it was ok for a large demographic to be murdered through gun violence say, then yes that would red flag that person as bigoted, and amoral, or even immoral, give the largest percentage of that demographic was obviously made up African Americans, when they were protesting loudly at the death one rich white man, then this also would be a red flag they were being fairly obviously racist. 
In case I am being too subtle here, that claim was yours, it was both bigoted and racist, and every time you've been called on it, the only response from you has been the risible "nuh uh, you are" argument, that most people will associate with infants. Not once have you recanted, clarified, apologised, or dissociated yourself from the racist nature of that claim. Had you done so, and explained it was ill-conceived rhetoric for example, others might not still be calling on you on your racist trope, about it being ok to let people in slums be killed through gun violence, and not all gun violence being equal. 
If this is too hard, try and imagine what you would call a claim that suggested a demographic of mainly black people, was of less value than a demographic of mainly white people.
