    LOLOLOLOLOL quoting this before he edits. Can you explain why Islam had to be brought up by YOU when no one mentioned anything about it in a thread that had nothing to do with it?

    Who cares?
    We're not the ones living under Sharia law. Islam is irrelevant.

    Because I find it illogical and to some extent ignorant and naive for leftists to on the one hand demonize Christianity because of the anti-gay attitude of some of its leaders and followers, but on the other hand to ally themselves even with some Islamists, when Muslims on average are much more anti-gay than Christians.

    To RedRedemption: You also do not live under "canonical law" - that doesn't stop leftists from being outraged at Christians/Catholic people for supposedly being anti-gay.

    I support no religion.
    Wait, so you, a self-proclaimed champion of human rights that brings up Islam in every topic are complaining about leftists expressing their desire to end the bigoted discrimination against homosexuals?

    Just because one bad is much more severe than the other bad doesn't make the lesser one irrelevant. Not to mention one is domestic issue, and the other is a foreign issue.

    So what if Christians don't impose canonical law here? There is enough of a religious tilt here in the states to influence a majority. Which is why gay marriage isn't 100% legal yet. Which is why an atheist president has not been elected yet. Which is why God is such a (unnecessarily) relevant topic in politics for whatever inane reason.

    Kid, I understand that you are still learning about the world and that you use this forum to educate yourself and to practice talking to adults.

    But you should also work on your reading comprehension and on logical thinking.

    I am not complaining about leftists expressing their desire to end bigoted discrimination against homosexuals. To repeat what I already said:

    I find it illogical and to some extent ignorant and naive for leftists to on the one hand demonize Christianity because of the anti-gay attitude of some of its leaders and followers, but on the other hand to ally themselves even with some Islamists, when Muslims on average are much more anti-gay than Christians.

    Re-read it, try to understand it, and then remain silent.

    We only care about Muslims that are living in the US and majority of Muslims in the US vote Democratic the party of gay marriage and pro choice. So please don't butt into debates about US politics because you have no clue

    You know I'm only arguing for the sake of arguing right?
    Because you are probably one of the biggest tools in D&D.

    I've tried to ignore you but with you posting some anti-Islam rhetoric (EVEN WHEN THE TOPIC HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM) in every thread its kind of hard to do so.

    Maybe you should learn how to argue to other people as well because whenever anyone disagrees with you, you go into condescending passive-aggressive mode.

    Its like Basso, BigTexxx, and Hightop. Why argue? There's no point since the logic you so highly cherish is absent in every single one of your posts and rebuttals.

    No problem.
    You realize how pathetic you sound right now right? :D

    In any case, there's my anti-ATW rage for the month.

    EDIT: If its any consolation for you I hate it when Mathloom does the same thing as well.

    I know that the truth hurts. In true Korean tradition, pay respect to your elders, even if you don't understand everything at your young age now. You will eventually grow up, so don't be too embarrassed right now.

    Thanks! If you can't handle the truth...it must be annoying to you.

    Wait, aren't you the guy whose ex-girlfriend once posted something in the Hangout about you being a fraudster or something?

    Where in the New Testament does it say it's our Christian duty to kill and unconditionally support the atrocities of the Zionist minority?

    If someone wants to demonize Christianity for being anti-gay, then of couse they should be willing to do so with Islam as well. But allying one self with some Islamists is not an endorsement of everything those people believe. Persecution based on religion or race, state violence, terrorism, international law -- there are multiple issues here and unfortunately we have to wrestle with competing values when staking out out a stance on these issues.

    My thought is that it should not have been added to the platform if they had to keep redoing the vote until a majority was achieved. What's the point in even doing a vote, in that case? A party platform should contain items for which there is already a broad consensus.

    Sir Jackie Chiles can debate you in 2 or 3 different languages. He can run circles around you. You are one annoying little focker.
