So is he. And he's pointing out that in the case of homophobia, pretty much no one think it's about being afraid of gays (except for some homophobes trying to dodge the label, in the same way that you have anti-semites trying to argue that they're not antisemitic, because they have no problems with Arabs who are semites.)

Arg, we're only trying to argue implied meanings behind words anyway. Fairly pointless argument whichever way you look at it :P

It's amazingly relevant, if screwed up.
Oh lord, that is so hilariously moronic and offensive I have no idea what face to make.

'Nuuuu! Teh gayz are cuming to tak ovr the gubbermunt! Fnd ur salvaton in Christ!'
...I can't believe [am surprised] that the author even uses very bad misinterpretations (ie In the Bible/Biblical verses) to forward his views :/ instead of what is actually objective.

... tiru, that's Jack Chick. The man is bughumping insane. This is a person that would sodomize a squirrel if it somehow demonized the catholic church, and claim it was an order from god. Not... someone you can expect anything approaching rational contemplation from.

Your life was a blessed life, filled with light. My condolences for helping to strip some of that from you :(

Would that none of the world knew of jack chick. It would be a brighter place. Assuming something even worse didn't take his place.

I hadn't heard of him until this forum enlightened me to the truth of his words.

I'd never heard of him either.

I have a question: why is it that it seems Christians are always being asked about the Bible, and Muslims don't get many questions on the Qur'an?

You mean here? Because we don't have muslims to ask AFAIK. Also, because in the West, even non-christian tends to be more familiar with the Bible than the Q'ran.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Since i am jewish, i'll answer your question with a question.

What is the global illiteracy rates of muslims?

What is the global illiteracy rate of jews? :P *

You'd also have to go on a country by country basis to understand the literacy rate because the literacy rate is going to vary country by country.

*Trying to show how stupid the question is, not trying to be anti-semitic.

This might be useful.

Although, the factual accuracy is disputed. Possibly because the data was gathered from the CIA World Factbook and the CIA totally isn't biased at all, right guys?
