I am listening, and I don't agree. If the source (say the Quran or Bible) can be interpreted and held up as a justification for some unpalatable worldview (say, homophobia or misogyny), then I will call both the worldview and the source into question.
Like, if you had a law that was used to justify (or at least allow) some sort of travesty, does that law then come under review?

This almost invariably results from people misinterpreting the work or just filling in the blanks with their own personal beliefs.
But seriously guys, women have superpowers! I feel that this stunning revelation is being completely glossed over.
post=135275::) Let me introduce you to Dr. Laura Schlessinger.
Yes, I have and there is a reason nobody listens to that book anymore. =)
But back on topic.
Since scientific inquiry is based on empirical evidence, more Boobquake events should be held. In the name of science.

Nobody with an IQ above room temperature listens to it anymore.
Seriously, you must understand that people who hate gays, minorities, women, or whatever other scapegoat of the week for "religious" reasons represent an extreme, extreme, extreme minority of Christians. Just like the Al-queda represents an extreme, extreme minority of Muslims. The problem is our beloved media only talks about these minorities on the news, giving the impression that anybody with an ounce of faith or religious conviction is a fire-breathing Neanderthal out for blood.
The vast, vast majority of religious people are perfectly nice and pleasant and don't hate anybody, I promise. =)

The philosophical and moral ramifications of holding such an event that could have such tragic consequences are beyond my ken!

Newsflash: People from a wide variety of backgrounds both religious and nonreligious have twisted worldviews and will interpret anything in a way that suits them.

I believe in God but find nearly all organized religions utterly abhorrent. Even if they are relatively inoffensive nowadays, to me many of them are tainted forever for the atrocities they've been involved in in the past.
Basically, I agree with what Kentona has been saying.
guess you don't like germans, turks, the british, mongolians, italians, rwandans.. this is just one particular kind of atrocity!

Strawman factory~
EDIT:
it may be an unusual belief but making mockery of someone's deeply held religious principles is as bad if not worse!Well, there's this one! And I've been saying that "when those deeply held religious principles are so....wrong.. they must be fought!" And mockery is one of the tools chosen, and probably one of the more effective ones in this case (where the goal was to bring to a wider attention the misogyny of an extremist shar (or whatever they're called)).
EDIT2
I also disagree that deeply held beliefs should be unassailable because they happen to be religious in origin!
post=135290Well, when I am called out on Strawman then it becomes relevant.
my position is irrelevant. we are dealing with your position, not mine!

I mean geodude I love you man but you make conversations longer than they have to be when people have to respond to how you feel one sentence at a time!
sadly this is how thoughts are received i have no control over this

There's nothing wrong with disagreements. Mature, healthy debate stimulate discussion and thought.
