....

What would you need to apply the way you want to apply?

[Neonivek]

Not that I wouldn't believe a terrorist group that targets Catholics and Christians couldn't or even doesn't exist...

But... Yeah that... definitely isn't ISIS.

Face it, any religious extremist is gonna be hating Atheists just as much.

Religious extremists hate everyone that don't subscribe to their particular brand of religious extremism.

[Tack]

It's like Roman Catholics hating Protestants, and every other type of Catholic, and contraception.
Edit: Except with more guns probably.
Comparing Romcats to ISIS is probably a line. If anyone feels a line has been crossed, I apologize, and it wasn't my intention.

[hector13]

You're also tarring all Catholics with the same brush there :p

It pains me I apparently still identify as Catholic despite loathing organized religion. Brilliant.

Not necessarily true, you get religious extremists that are fine living with other religious groups, yet will go ballistic when encountered with those who subscribe to their brand of religious extremism but just wrong enough

Ahem.  I am 100% certain there is a significant fraction of Roman Catholics that don't hate contraception.  Or other denominations of Christianity.

No no no, your mistaking what he means.

He doesn't mean Roman Catholics... as in people of the Roman Catholic Church.

He means the Ancient Roman Catholic army an ancient extremist group that hated everyone.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

As I typically find it, the hate scale goes Apostate > Heretic > Heathen > Nonadherent, so atheists can be on both the bottom and top of the hatred. People who have never believed what you do are potential converts, only the most extreme extremists loathe that off the bat. Now, should they be rejected, on the other hand...

...
YES
That was my intention. I apologise for the... miscommunication... as they were a very ancient and fringe sect and I shouldn't have expected people to immediately know what I'm talking about.
Thankfully as they are all dead now I haven't offended anyone, at all, and everything is fine.

There almost certainly is. (Sadly I haven't met them.) I was basing most of this on Benny 16 and Francis.


Of course, entire peoples being liberally judged upon the lone ideals of their leader is a phenomenon which makes me really sympathetic for most Americans, considering what the future has in store there.

[Loud Whispers]

You offended their souls
Be prepared to be visited by the spooky skeleton ancient roman catholic centurions

[hector13]

F course, he'll be defended by all the people the army killed, too.

He may have inadvertently triggered a war between souls.

Good job!

[Tack]

Yes... but the army killed them.
That whole balance of power has already played out once before, and not exactly in my favor.

*inhale*
When I heard a Christian mate, different denomination to me, say that Muslims hate the idea of Christ.


Some sun-touched Muslims may hate and abuse Christians, but Christ himself is a large part of Islam. Including his divine birth, his rank as a Messiah and his resurrection. 

I shiver when I hear it because either the espouser is complaining out of lazy ignorance or out of the purpose of spreading misinformation. I have no interest in the proselytisation or ringfenceing of any religion despite being a member of such an organisation, but I at least respect the actual prose and verse of that religion for at least its place in history, its background and it as a possible source of inspiration.
I mean before Mohammed died and his successors waged great wars of conquest, the state of Arabia was a political 'paradise' where Jews, Christians and Arabian Pagans worked and worshipped along side the growing Religion of Islam in a proto-socialist nation state that was developed enough to sport a basic income for all citizens.

I know the importance of current events in the perception of a people and creed and that that sporting past events as a true Scotsman like fallacy in the face of current events is equally dishonest, but saying things out of ignorance or venomous spite just seems 'wrong'*.

*struggling to word that how I want to.

uueueueueaagh.
