I have no problem with the thread, or with calling out religious discrimination.

I just felt the "people like you" post was a bit unnecessary as it's this kind of thing that causes polite debate to turn hostile.

I'm still at the point where I'm defending the very idea of the thread, instead of getting into it. 

Another example of someone here that has dome the same thing is SvennoJ.  And nobody has said that he's wrong in his 1000 page Israel thread. But if people are going to come in here and say that I'm wrong even if it's in a nice way then I'm going to show how their viewpoint is harmful. 

Completely fair. They knew not to come in here if they disagreed or had a problem but for certain kinds of people I guess that means you should come in and find a problem with the thread creator by telling him how hurtful he's being. Fair both ways in this area of competing opinions. 

What same thing? 

A. It's not an Israel thread, it's about the current genocide in Gaza, now extending to the West Bank.
B. It's not a religious genocide, if you follow the thread you should know it's all about colonialism and greed that keep the 'conflict' going. Religion is merely a tool to stoke the flames, hide behind and point fingers.

There have been people that said I was wrong in the thread, not in a while though since the evidence is overwhelming and the truth has come out. 


Religion is a safe place in times of hardship, something to turn to when everything is falling apart. The persecution comes from those abusing that safe place to spread their hatred. The exact same thing the MAGA movement is doing btw.

Here in Canada, at least where I live, people promote change mostly with yard signs. Most of the Pride Month LGBTQ+ "Love is Love" "All Love is equal" yard signs are still up, people leave them up year round now. Just like commercials, repeated messages do their work slowly but surely.
