Prophet Muhammad cartoon row leads to resignation

[Pygoscelis]

of course, it is clear to any sane being here that I have not wished death upon psygocells personally. Moreover, he seems to be an atheist, not an anti-theist.

I still maintain my stance about anti-theists. Anti-theists are schizophrenic psychopaths.

I am an atheist more in the mold of Carl Sagan or Michael Shermer, rather than Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens. I don't draw cartoons or hurl pointless insults at holy figures because I don't want to needlessly cause grief. Most of my family is christian and my friends range from Sikh to Jewish to Budhist to Hindu to Muslim. I respect them and what their religions currently mean to them too much to try to deconvert them. But I would definitely be pleased for them and celebrate with them were they to free themselves from religion. And I would definitely prefer a secular world, where religion wasn't something I had to deal with. I hope that someday, generations from now, this will be so. So by the definition you posted above, I am anti-theist.

You may not have known it, but you have called me a schizophrenic psychopath and you have repeatedly, and publicly, told me that you hope I die. Moderators have not seen fit to stop this, object to this, or even to frown on this. They would were I muslim. In the face of this, I have not responded with hatred. I do not wish you any harm whatsoever. I would condemn any attempt to harm you and would protect you from harm if I could. Does this surprise you? Perhaps you can learn from this experience.

Has anyone here wishing death upon any particular member?

Indirectly, yes. But more troubling is that he has been wishing death upon an entire group of people. And the response to that has been one mod calling it a "minor, petty, minute detail", another accusing me of getting my "panties all twisted" when I object, a poster calling him a lovable grandpa like figure for expressing his wish that we die, and others objecting to people doing drawings and not seeing fit to object to people calling for the death of their fellow humans. If not for Tyrion responding with some sanity, I may be tempted to draw certain conclusions about muslims on this board. But worry not; I don't see you all as "schizophrenic psychopaths".

There, now you're all caught up.

a poster calling him a lovable grandpa like figure for expressing his wish that we die,

Ah wut?

That is not what I meant at all. I said he reminds me of my grandpa. One minute he's happy, the next minute, he gets all angry about anything, then he becomes a big softy. :/ I'm referring to his personality changes.

I'm not even talking about who he wants to kill.

 

[GuestFellow]

Indirectly, yes.

Can you show us the actual quote?

Your interpretation of my post makes me question whether your actually understanding what your reading.

 

[CosmicPathos]

psygocells, I want end of an entire group, just like this guy wants an end of an entire religion of a certain group of ppl. I wish Sam Harris dies slowly and painfully from glioblastoma multiforme, so hopefully he will the see the "civil" nature of his own body. Sam Harris is a faggoty anti-Islamic loon, much more scarier than Dawkins. His lightly pigmented iris/pupils and white color only adds to the fear that we in the East have had to dealt with in the last 300 years of British Colonialism.

 

[CosmicPathos]

tragic, btw you were wrong in guessing about my personality. I am not alternating between angry and happy, I just respond to different posts in ways they should be responded to.

I know, but you still remind me of my grandpa :/

Is that okay? =/

What a... man-whose-scalp-consists-of-male-genitals.

 

[CosmicPathos]

and people actually think what he says is smart, and actually laugh behind him. These ppl are pigs.

Claims to be a neuroscientist, lol.

What is wrong with you? And why are the mods still keeping quiet or making light of this insanity? None of us agrees with Harris' views regarding religion, but to wish death upon him is ridiculous. If a non Muslim member was making these comments about Muslims, he would be banned in an instant. This is pathetic.

 

[GuestFellow]

Would you feel the same if he announced that he hopes you die?

Salaam,

Why would he hope that I die? O______o

Besides, I don't believe people when they wish a painful death upon others. Most likely they say it out of anger, which is normal. Even if they do mean it, it's an empty threat.

Wow really? You've been interacting with this thread. How can you have missed this? If this stuff was said about muslims instead of atheists...

Please someone stomp these atheists and annihilate them once and forever.

I hate them as much as they hate my religion, what part of it you do not get? After all, dont many atheists proclaim that they hate Islam, not Muslims? Well, they should then be ready for the pay back.

Violent? lol, I've committed no violence. I do however wish that mother nature eliminate their genotype.

The moment they stop drawing cartoons, no one would call for their death. Fault is theirs, not mine.

He then went into hyptheticals:

What if all atheists of the world got together and decided that they need to wipe off religion, then would you support annihilation of atheists?

He's talking about anti-theists who wish for the end of religion, and he wishes for the end of their lives.

Now here is your own quote:

I love CosmicPathos. For some reason, he reminds me of my grandpa. My grandpa gets all angry and goes rarrr over anything. The next minute, he's a big softy. It could be a multiple personality disorder like Jekyll and Hyde.

After a guy announces he wishes the anihilation of a group of people, instead of being shocked or offended by this you delcare that you love him and that he goes "rarr" lke some lovable old grandpa and can be a big softy.

Salaam,

I forgot lol.

But your not an anti-theist. So his post does not apply to you. :/ His understanding of an anti-theist is a person who wants to eradicate religion.

His dramatic changes in his posts (not limited to this topic) reminds me of my grandpa's personality. Nothing more and nothing less.

Anyway, if members find some of the posts offensive, then report it.

If you read a few pages back, he defined it as people who hope for the end of Islam. He didn't say they had to be violent or do anything to accomplish this end, just hope for it. I am such a person. And even were I not, does it really matter? He is wishing for the deaths of a group of people..... isn't that enough to deserve contempt?

Anyway, if members find some of the posts offensive, then report it.

Kind of pointless when one moderator calls it a "minor, petty, minute detail" and then another accuses me of getting my "panties all twisted" when I object.

This thread has brought my view on muslims far closer to that of Sam Harris'. If not for the few such as Tyrion here, and the ones I know in real life, I may be writing as Harris does after this.

 

[Pygoscelis]

psygocells, I want end of an entire group, just like this guy wants an end of an entire religion of a certain group of ppl.

That is not "just like" in any way shape or form. He wants to change minds. You want to end lives.

I wish Sam Harris dies slowly and painfully from glioblastoma multiforme

Which is far more hateful than anything Sam Harris has ever said. And ironically, your posts in this thread would be perfect evidence for Sam Harris' arguments.

Sam Harris is a faggoty anti-Islamic loon

He's not homosexual. Why are you hating on homosexuals now? Do you want them all dead as well?

His lightly pigmented iris/pupils and white color only adds to the fear that we in the East have had to dealt with in the last 300 years of British Colonialism.

Nor is he Brittish. He had nothing to do with colonialism. So now you're being racist too?

I am starting to think this whole thread is an example of Poe's law. I can no longer tell if this is an actual muslim speaking or a cruel parody of one. Are you for real or are you punking us? ;D Please keep going. I'm wondering now what exactly you'd have to say and how far you'd have to take this to get your fellow muslims to object.

 

['Abd-al Latif]

Enough, enough, enough!

I haven't read anyone's last few post but I've seen enough to know that this thread has derailed completely.
