[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why shouldn't religious beliefs be open to denigration if they're illogical? The Bible is illogical. It's contradictory. Why get upset pointing that out?[/quote]

I don't think anyone gives a rat's behind if you point out that [b]your opinion[/b] is that it's illogical and contradictory.  Just like you probably wouldn't care if I pointed out that I think you have poor social skills.  It's an opinion, after all.  To each their own. [/quote]

Ok, so pointing out that someone just stated an "opinion" doesn't really answer the question they posed.

Why is religion untouchable? Why shouldn't religious beliefs be open to criticism and denigration? Islam being the most extreme example, but Christianity too.

Islam is no more or less illogical than Christianity, what a bigoted thing to say.

People debate religious theory and philosophy all the time, of course it is open to criticism. Anyone who asks for permission to 'denigrate' another person's beliefs (and atheism is absolutely a belief pp) before entering into discussion isn't really doing so in good faith,  no pun intended.

You have no desire it seems to intellectually engage religion, you want to tear it down. You'll never have a productive conversation with that mindset. And I would be surprised if anyone religious took you seriously because you're not taking them seriously. [/quote]
