Even less credible, but still alleged

@Risotto for what littel I know of scripture, Sex was just *a thing*. God didn't intend it to exist

there's a passage somewhere where God, or jesus, don't quote me, laments that humans aren't a-reproducing or something but that if they must sex, do it in wedlock because that makes it holy or something

Before widespread Christianity there was neoplatonism which gave us the concept of natural law

The doctrine of 'natural law' constitutes a particular subset of the larger question of the place of reason and philosophy in theological ethics. Its adherents tend to be Roman Catholic, but not always so. Its meaning is anything but unproblematic and obvious. In spite of having been subject to wave after wave of criticism in the history of philosophy and theology, natural law continues to appeal to those who believe that ethics must be grounded in being and the moral life based on what is good for human beings. Periodic disclosures of human wickedness and horrors­ lynchings, secret police abductions, or death squad assassinations-reawaken our sense of the importance of objective moral standards to which evil-doers can be held accountable. Reminders of human goodness inspire gratitude for positive moral capacities bestowed on us by the Creator and elicited by grace.

Often this comes up in modern times with the "Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve" argument

FBI: "we didn't have enough time to really learn anything"
Dems: "We need to give the FBI more time, say a month? so they finish around Nov 5?"
Reps: *rolling over*

Did you guys hear what happened in Sweden today?

?

A 65 year old woman was sentenced to 3 month in prison for hate speech. After 8 anti-islam posts in a Facebook group

No surprises. Link?

I can only find swedish articles. But heres one. Maybe you can translate it.

The more I hear shit like this the more I'm tempted to make a bunch of fake accounts in places like Britain and make slightly racist shitposts to waste their resources.

I actually think people should start consider building a botnet.

And use it to flood the censors.

You guys should be very happy with your first ammenment. Writing a facebook post (that wasn’t even racist according to me) gives you a harder sentence then raping women in Sweden

That was like reading a soviet show trial ☹️

Indeed

How can critisism on islam be ”racist”? Like islam isn’t a race.

Doesn't matter to the CTRL-Left

Across the sund in Denmark. There is parliament election in the spring of 2019. In order to combat fake news facebook have made an agreement with a fact check site. They are to monitor all post in regards to the upcoming election. They have mandate to label a post as “fake news” and if a Facebook account is posting multiple fake news stories, they can lock the account for further posting, besides also blocking a post for being shared.
My issue is they are owned by a Mandag Morgen (monday morning) they describe them self as a hybrid think tank and news/pr agency. But they are registered as public affairs agency with the ministry of economy and business affairs. Side note they also operate the news service altinget, a left leaning poli news site, like the US politico news site.
Other side note they are pushing for certain health reforms in their think tank division

I think the argument goes is that when someone sufficiently redneck enough says "Muslim" they really mean they don't like Somalis or such

Sort of like the assumption that when they say "Mexican" they mean the race and not the nationality

My problems with Islam have nothing to do with the ethnicity of the practicitioners, but rather then tenants of the religion it's self.

I imagine its the same for anyone cognizant enough to join this Discord

But when the left stabs a strawman, sometimes it has a voodoo effect on you

Muslims are the largest group persecuted under the banner of Islam.

Top three motivations for Terrorism each year are the Islamic Inquizition, the Islamic Crusade and in a distant third, Communism.

Another thing that's funny, like the fact that Islam persecutes gays more: under Islam you're going to have a lot more Elliot Rodger types

People who pick up a weapons because they can't get laid, only now they have the tacit support of their religion

If a Muslim finds another Muslim not being a "REAL MUSLIM!" they have to bomb the mosque.

Sometimes Buddhists get like 1 or 2 in there

Usually as part of a separatist movement or something

So in other news, Saudi Arabia and Iran have been pushing hate speech laws in western countries.

It's basically blasphemy law.

FWIW, I think the anti-islam is a bit much in many quarters.

Yep. been that way for a while.

But punishing people for criticizing Islam is a bit much.

I think as part of combatting relativism it's important to acknowledge all the contributions Islamic cultures have made to philosophy and science
