Ok...so in order for me to not be a hypocrite anymore, can
you give me your address so I can come over and blow your
head off with a .44 magnum? Oh, wait...it says "stoned".
Ok...I'll just beat your head in with rocks then.

I interpret this as you realizing the absurdity of your own argument?

I have nothing more to say on the matter. You have your opinion, I
have mine. *I* can agree to disagree.

Which leads to a question of mine as to whether or not the koran
actually
does give the option of killing nonbelievers...


Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal
rigorously
with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate.

Hinges on the meaning of 'war'. Lyndon Johnson did not advocate
killing
poor people as part of his war on poverty.

Indeed, if the word in the text would be more accurately translated as
'jihad', then it could be interpreted as readily to mean to resist the
influence of unbelievers or to convert them. 'Jihad' may be translated
as 'struggle' war is but one variety of 'jihad'.

...

Just a small selection of quotes from Sam Harris' book. I'm looking for
the
part about death being the mandatory punishment for violation of the
commandments.

You mean something equivalent to "The wages of sin are death."????


'Jihad', meaning struggle works for the quotes posted in this thread.

Obviously, I cannot comment on quotes I have not read.

Except one's opinion can be based on facts, the other person's opinion on
hearsay, emotions, and fantasy.

So which side is the one that bases their positions on "emotions"?

And apparently you can't.

To be honest, I don't care what you think. I think you are wrong.
I am willing to consider both our sides opinions. Opinions are
never right or wrong. They are opinions.

I did this as a gracefully way of avoiding a religious flame war
in this aviation group.

Please take the hint.

Seems you go into the latter category.

never right or wrong. They are opinions.

My opinion is that all people over 55 and under 25 should be euthanized --
so that wouldn't be wrong, huh?

Post-modern prattwaddle.

Okay, now that that issue is understood -- over and out!!

Ok...I've been trying to be nice about this. So fine...since I need
to be an asshole, so be it.

asshole mode

Go take your 'opinion' and shove it up your ass, ok?

I have no interest in getting into a ****ing debate over it, ok?

What part of this do you NOT ****ING UNDERSTAND?

Do I need to make a big issue of PLONKING you?

/asshole mode

OK? Is that better?

It's really simple. I could forsee the discussion getting really
heated and I just didn't want to mess with that, ok? I hate getting
drawn into flame wars. I see both your's and my sides as opinions,
and those can make for really hot flame wars, especially considering
the subject being a religious one. I'm simply trying to avoid what is
obviously turning into a big debacle over a simple misunderstanding.

I'm simply suggesting we both quit now because getting into a big
argument over it isn't going to accomplish a damned thing except
cause a lot of hard feelings.

Again, I can agree to disagree. I feel you are as entitled to your
position as I am to mine. Let's just leave it at that, OK?
