Apparently christianity is bullshit...

[Pere Ubu]

Also, if the Romans had invented Christianity, it was probably one of the biggest blunders they could have possibly made, other than treating their Hun mercenaries like dirt.

Whether or not the Romans "invented" christianity, it's common knowledge* that the Romans were the ones responsible for its political success, globally. It was actually a really shrewd move but, unfortunately for the Romans, it turned out to be too little too late. A bandaid on the severed head of an empire that had already gone USA-2020 by then.




*common knowledge of the type - which faithfools are immune to

Faithfools.

Niggers.

Spics.

Kikes.

Yeah.

... teabaggers

dems

racists

Spags.

So, wait.  Are you really drawing THAT particular equivalence?

Religion is a choice and a set of thoughts much like political alignment and racism unlike ethnicity which cannot be changed and is in born.

Waiting to hear the point of that.

I mean, bigotry is okay, if the subject of the bigotry is something a person has control over?  Meaning that it's not the bigotry that's the problem, but the subject of the bigotry?  "Fair" bigotry is okay?

Not disagreeing with you. Im a faithfool myself. I think pents point is the same. The religious are immune but making general assumptions and maligning a bagger is ok.

Nope. That was all you.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Well, you know us faithfools.  We're dumb, that way.  We draw a distinction between "a racist word" and calling someone a "racist".  You know, if we were smart, like those non-faithfools, we'd realize that the REAL racists are the ones who point bigotry out.

Silly faithfools.  Not even like real people. 

[P3nT4gR4m]

I didn't call you anything. Just like (I'm assuming) you never called me niggers or spics or kikes

My point was that "faithfools" was not an insult based on the way someone was born, something they have no control over but, rather based on a stupid way they CHOOSE to think. So calling someone "faithfool" is more akin to calling someone "teabagger" than calling them "nigger"

And I'm not disputing the fact that they're real people. I'm merely labelling their preferred brand of stoopid in a derisory way.

It's still fucking stupid. It's one of those things that people say that they think is clever, but actually makes clever people cringe, like "Obummer".

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

It's also inherently bigoted against any ethnicity for whom their faith is an integral part of their ethnic identity, such as Jews and Native Americans.

Make you sound like you grew up with no pants or dental care.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

It is ALSO, as an added bonus, divisive, alienating, and clannish, and is merely a device to allow one group to feel a sense of superiority over another group, which is, unlike religion, the actual root of genocide and similar evils.

So it's different from "Teabagger" how exactly?

[P3nT4gR4m]

What you seem to be saying is that ALL insults are inherently wrong. Or is it more, just the ones you don't like?

Teabaggers gave themselves that name. They chose it. Then they wanted to back out of it because they figured out it has other connotations, but it was too late.

However, "Teabilly", which I am partial to, falls into the same category. The difference? I am bigoted against teabillies, and I'm OK with that.

[P3nT4gR4m]

Didn't realise they gave themselves the nickname - even dumber than I thought
