Which is why guessing what I'm thinking and feeling, as opposed to dealing with what I
say, is so misguided.
People are constantly guessing at what I think and feel behind my words, and they are almost
always wrong.
You would think people would learn from this unmitigated failure and stop guessing.
"Dealing with what you say" doesn't exactly tell us how you're thinking or feeling, either.
You say something mean, you're going to be judged as mean. You say something insulting, you're going to be judged as insulting. You say something biased, you're going to be judged as biased. That's just the way it works.

Christianity is a religion of ... life. Islam is a religion of ... death.
If a racist is someone who hates people of a certain race, then what is the term for someone who hates people of a certain religion, just for being members of that religion? Somebody help me out here. Yeah, there's "bigot", but that's too general for what I'm looking for here.

You are mean, insulting and biased.
We already knew that!

So every time I make an argument or post it should come with a running commentary on
how I'm feeling as I write it?
Do you realise how stupid your hating my guts makes your posts?
I get it, you don't like me... But try stopping to think before dumping on my posts, for your sake.

Who cares what I'm feeling? it's not relevant to the discussion.
I wasn't the one who brought up intentions, it was the person I criticised for inventing what
I was feeling at the time who brought it up. I am the one saying leave feelings out of it, partly because
you guys ALWAYS read me wrong, so stop bothering. Because it makes you look stupid.
You say something mean, you're going to be judged as mean. You say something insulting, you're going to be judged as insulting. You say something biased, you're going to be judged as biased. That's just the way it works.
Yeah, because tone is really easy to detect in forum posts... people never ever get that wrong...
🙄
How about when I post an argument that has nothing whatsoever to do with my feelings and people
then try to infer from that how I'm feeling.
What does that make THEM? [or you, in this case]

Originally posted by twhiteheadEssentially you have all of these various Islamic terrorists groups going around raping and plundering and killing in the name of Allah, much like Mohammad did.
I have recently seen statements or debates along the lines of:
Islam is a religion of peace (or not).
What does it mean to say something about a religion, when it is well known that the adherent of any large religion have a wide diversity of beliefs or views.
Can anything be said about Christianity in the format: Christianity is a religion of ...?
Wou ...[text shortened]... u be talking about/for all Christians when you made the statement? The majority? Your own group?
However, there are about a billion Muslims on the earth and most are not engaged in this sort of behavior. So instead of condemning the whole religion, and specifically Mohammad which would just start more killing, they say that they are really a religion of peace.
No one really believes it but the hope is that they keep more jihadists at home by trying to play nice.
