practicing religion, not philosophy

on my Herr Trumpf coup d’état thread…
I have stated that Herr Trumpf has laid down a Muslim ban
Ucci disagrees despite all the evidence that suggest this is a Muslim ban…
now I find the interesting thing to be that Ucci refuses to believe it could
be a Muslim ban despite everything…why would Ucci refuse to believe the
facts in front of him? I would suggest it is because he is emotionally invested
in Herr Trumpf after publically declaring for him during and after the election…
if the facts say one thing and you still won’t believe, then you are practicing religion
and not philosophy…if you believe regardless of the facts, then you are a believer and
facts don’t matter…

It is not enough to have the courage of your beliefs…
you must have the courage for an attack on your beliefs…
Nietzsche

those who repeat their “truths” without any reflection upon if that
“truth” is actually a truth, they are practicing religion…

now there will many calls to arms that I haven’t reflected
or I haven’t the courage for an attack on my beliefs…
but I have…I have not only attacked my beliefs, I have
promoted beliefs that I don’t personally believe in…
unlike others, I advocated for capitalism despite others
refusal to do so. I have attacked socialism when I have otherwise clearly suggested
it is a better form of ECONOMICS then capitalism…I am not afraid to attack
my beliefs as I have done so before in other threads…
I am engaged in philosophy, not religion… I shall continue to
pursue the “TRUTH”, wherever I find it…but those others who
practice religion and not philosophy… know that you are engaged
in religion and not philosophy…at least have the courage of
belief in your religion because what you are doing is not philosophy…

Nope. Trump did no such thing.

You are a liar, or incredibly dim, or both.

I’d put my money on both.

Uccisore has facts, you have religion peter.

Well, he didn’t ban all muslims, but all the people he banned are muslims…or something like that. At what point are we splitting hairs?

At what point do we acknowledge that the only religion on earth that has over 200 decrees to lie to and kill everyone but them raises problems with freedom of religion over the whole world …

I think it’s safe to say that from the perspective of comparative religion, that this is not a religion, but rather, an ideology.

Ecm, christians have killed a lot of people too. So I dunno where you’re going with this. I mean, one side’s reasons for killing the other are better than the other side’s reason for killing them? How do you make that judgement?

Christians know from the words of their own book that they are hypocrites , Muslims don’t …

I’d say Christianity is more like the idea of the US constitutions idea of a more perfect union (rather than division)

Christianity is absurd to be sure, but the source (belief this is the immutable word of God) is VASTLY different to Muslims than every other religion.

Even the Aztecs were better than Muslims !!

All religions are equally stupid.

PK,
Disagreeing with me in a place where I might read it a little too risky for you? Couldn’t take the chance that I might have an opportunity to stick up for myself? Why didn’t you just write your rebuttal on a piece of toilet paper and flush it, if you were scared of it being exposed to the appropriate audience?

He didn’t lay down a Muslim ban. I clearly explained why - he’s not banning immigration from the countries with the largest Muslim populations, nor from the countries with the largest Arab populations. He’s banning immigration from 7 countries, out of 50+ with majority Muslim populations, because those 7 countries have piss poor citizens records and harbor ISIS.

You had no reply to it then, you have no reply to it now. You just wanted to spread your lies somewhere else and pray I wouldn’t notice to so neatly deflate them. No such luck. Oh shit, I found you! Maybe you can bitch about big bad Uccisore in Creative Writing, I hardly ever look there.

All the people in Iraq are Muslims? Does Iraq know about this?

If you are responding to KP then quote him.

I’m sorry, are you talking to me? I can’t be sure.

There are plenty of other Muslim-majority countries that didnt make the ban list. Why? Because this isnt about Islam, it is about the political instability and terrorism in certain places in the world, and the fact that we know ISIS is trying to infiltrate refugee populations.

No foreign person has a right to demand entrance to another country, that holds not just for the United States but for any nation. I am so fucking sick of the leftist-liberal nonsense, trying to make everything about “racism”. Hey, FYI “Islam” isn’t even a race, even if Trump was motivated by hating them, which he isn’t.

Anyway, here is a nice video for Peter Kommuist and the rest of you:

Yeah, if a post follows another post then it responds to the previous post. If it quotes a post then it responds to the quoted post.

Is this too complicated for you?

Uccisore is a moderator?

One man’s opinion:

slate.com/articles/news_and_ … m_ban.html

Of course we have our alternative facts, and they have theirs

I guess I grasp posting custom like you grasp irony.

I think that you are too stupid to be a moderator.

This article makes the same ‘mistake’ that PK does- I’m sure he’s read it. It begins with the premise “THIS is a ban on Muslims,” and then procedes to prove that Trump wanted to ban Muslims before he was elected, as if showing one entails the other. However, the actual reality is that both are true: Trump wanted to ban Muslims, and this is not a Muslim ban. It’s not about alternative facts, it’s about reality vs. spin.

So do something about it, then.
