Okay to bash Christians all you want - and why Dawkins was invited.

Bash Muslims?

Nope. Canceled.

It’s time to stop pretending this is about “offensive speech” and “hateful words.” This is about censorship, pure and simple. The Left can’t defend their insane positions, so their only recourse is to silence their opposition. They can only succeed if we let them.

Modern snowflake lefties don’t give a damn about accuracy or truth (that’s the point they should be debating); they just want to make sure nobody’s feelings are hurt among the left’s favored, superior groups. And if that takes trying to shut down free speech and thought, then they have no problem with that. It’s a very disturbing trend.

Exactly. You can bash Christianity all day long, and they will make that your sacred right, but banish you from the Land of the Extremely Sensitive Folk for saying anything critical of the religion that would, and will, throw the homosexuals, abortionists, and feminists off the roof of a 10-story building. Along with the atheists.

Dawkins’ schtick is similar to Al Gore’s - become a circus clown with a cause and call it science.

KPFA: hate radio that has been spewing vileness for decades. I suspect it got its start as a satellite of Radio Moscow.

The left is becoming more open about rejecting science. I guess that the left has distanced itself so far from reality that it cannot tolerate any exposure to a discipline that exists to observe and document reality.

If it is all subjective, anything can be made to be "hurtful," however that is defined. We have a Bill of Rights---sorry, never mind.We are here: Francis A. Schaeffer has argued, “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

What? That's Richard Dawson?

Never mind....

In Ben Stein’s documentary on evolution he got Dawkins to admit that the advances on planet earth my have been due to aliens.

If you’re willing to say it might have been aliens, but no way was it God it reveals it’s not about logic or reason.

Just thought I’d share:

Not far from a certain college town, I saw a couple of young college-age females sitting outside a business on a bench. One was Middle-Eastern looking, dressed in full Muslim garb, (hijab plus long dress), the other an Asian dressed in jeans and a light short-sleeved top. The Muslim appeared to be trying to engage the Asian in a conversation of understanding. Didn’t stop to overhear much, but it struck me as sort of odd. The Asian girl was saying “Yeah, it depresses me...” I wonder if they were discussing yesterday’s event. I got the impression the Muslim girl was trying to garner sympathy. Just an impression.

....I have indeed strongly condemned the misogyny, homophobia, and violence of Islamism, of which Muslims — particularly Muslim women — are the prime victims...

As Jack Nicholson famously said, “You can’t handle the truth.”

How can liberals remain so oblivious to the world around them.

Good old Pacifica. I was driving one night, scanning channels on the car radio, when I found myself listening to KPFA playing a long speech by Malcolm X. I had read a few Malcolm X quotes, but had not been exposed to the full, substantial force of his anti-white racism. I stopped in a supermarket parking log and listened to the sickening end. Clearly, Malcolm X wanted me dead.

Hate radio on steroids.

All must submit to Islam.

None may criticize Islam.

Dawkins is a tool.

He and Sam Harris finally came around to reject Islam in their complete rejection of ALL Religions thanks to Christopher Hitchens.

This, in my mind, is a small victory since it may allow others the freedom to actually “Compare” religions.

Then, much later, Bill Maher.
