between your hate here and the shit directed at other groups. I guess I shouldn't be surprised...you are your church's faithful defender, and we all know how they feel about gays, unbelievers, and others.

Judge rules against atheist attacked in costume [View all] rug Feb 2012 OP

If atheists can be assaulted with impunity, can they be killed also? baldguy Feb 2012 #1

Here's the statute. rug Feb 2012 #4

That wasn't my question. baldguy Feb 2012 #8

Your question was can atheists be killed also. rug Feb 2012 #12

I read the article and it is astounding that the judge threw this out.... Yooperman Feb 2012 #2

The judge needs to go back to law school Angry Dragon Feb 2012 #3

and here the jewish community were all upset at the idea of neo-nazis marching in skokie unblock Feb 2012 #5

According to the statute, it appears they might have both been guilty of harassment. humblebum Feb 2012 #6

That's what a lot of the local non-lawyer judges do. rug Feb 2012 #9

Going out as Zombie Mohammed in a Halloween parade is harassment? Explain how. 2ndAmForComputers Feb 2012 #17

Does that even warrant an answer? Overt ridicule could very humblebum Feb 2012 #28

By somebody who's lost all sense of measure. 2ndAmForComputers Feb 2012 #80

I have a feeling I'm not alone in my opinion. nt humblebum Feb 2012 #83

Of course not. There wouldn't be religious wars or religious-inspired terrorism if you were. 2ndAmForComputers Feb 2012 #84

And, of course, there has never been any atheist-inspired terrorism or war making. humblebum Feb 2012 #86

"Waah waah waah they do it too" got old by 4th grade. 2ndAmForComputers Feb 2012 #92

No, the fact is that no one was hurt. End of story. humblebum Feb 2012 #94

Only for those wearing blinders and shouting at the world to do the same. darkstar3 Feb 2012 #96

And it may also be that the blinders are coming off and people are humblebum Feb 2012 #101

CH was right, you are incoherent. That didn't even make sense at all in context. darkstar3 Feb 2012 #103

I really didn't expect you to understand. Oh well. nt humblebum Feb 2012 #104

Don't do it! Just don't do it. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #30

And you don't consider bigotry illogical and irrational? nt humblebum Feb 2012 #40

I consider your arguments to be illogical and irrational. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #44

Well since I consider the act to be somewhat bigoted, I guess I was humblebum Feb 2012 #57

You are right, in that your responses are irrational and illogical, and do not align with reality. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #59

I know. I have exotic, unusual tastes. 2ndAmForComputers Feb 2012 #81

Why then was only the Muslim man charged? ChadwickHenryWard Feb 2012 #56

If the story had continued instead of being called a draw, it may have humblebum Feb 2012 #58

It wasn't a draw, a believer ATTACKED an non-believer, and a judge let him go. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #60

Your characterization of my "blind hatred of non-believers" I find offensive. Criticism is humblebum Feb 2012 #62

You find everything offensive. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #63

Both sides walked away without further incident. It was a draw, and humblebum Feb 2012 #64

Without further incident? One was attacked, the other was charged. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #65

So something else happened after the incident? humblebum Feb 2012 #69

I am. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #70

Yes you am.nt humblebum Feb 2012 #71

Even your parting shot is incoherent. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #74

No more so than your definition of 'done.' nt humblebum Feb 2012 #76

Yes you am. nt humblebum Feb 2012 #79

The officer inovled in the case said: ChadwickHenryWard Feb 2012 #61

Must have been an evil, god-hating, Nazi atheist cop. 2ndAmForComputers Feb 2012 #85

This is exactly the outcome many believers wanted to happen. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #7

Link? rug Feb 2012 #10

Unnecessary due to abundance. 2ndAmForComputers Feb 2012 #16

Here... Humanist_Activist Feb 2012 #19

It will be interesting to see what response, if any, rug will give. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #20

Yes, wouldn't surprise me. n/t Humanist_Activist Feb 2012 #22

And just as I predicted, he replied with evasion. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #35

Considering that poster is no longer on DU, rug Feb 2012 #41

You keep telling yourself that, rug. You will convince yourself eventually. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #45

Nice evasion. rug Feb 2012 #47

Again, you keep telling yourself that. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #48

Don't forget your hat. rug Feb 2012 #50

Don't forget to keep convincing yourself. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #51

Remind me not to go to a casino with you. rug Feb 2012 #32

Why, because I was right? cleanhippie Feb 2012 #34

Considering that poster was banned, your comment attacking DU pretty well fails. rug Feb 2012 #36

Only in your mind. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #37

The proof is there. rug Feb 2012 #39

Yeah, the proof that it happens is there. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #43

Considering your visceral rejection for anything religious is now seeping onto your view of DU, rug Feb 2012 #49

The member that made those outrageous statements was banned. cbayer Feb 2012 #24

Right here on DU. rug Feb 2012 #31

Link? See post #28 in this same thread. n/t Silent3 Feb 2012 #29

This? rug Feb 2012 #33

No. I don't know if you're seeing different post numbering than I am... Silent3 Feb 2012 #42

Bingo! cleanhippie Feb 2012 #46

That's quite a stretch. rug Feb 2012 #53

Not a stretch at all Silent3 Feb 2012 #75

Oh, bullshit. Give it a rest. cbayer Feb 2012 #15

Yawn. You give it a rest. Actually, should give it a read. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #18

Post removed Post removed Feb 2012 #21

No I didn't. And the member who made the outrageous statements was banned from cbayer Feb 2012 #23

AND? How does that change the fact that the shit was posted and allowed to stand? darkstar3 Feb 2012 #66

The person who made the really outrageous anti-atheists statements cbayer Feb 2012 #68

Still doesn't change the fact that CH's statement was factually correct. darkstar3 Feb 2012 #72

Well, there certainly is a lot of truth in your last statement. cbayer Feb 2012 #73

FReedom of speech, freedom of expression. I see no problem. As long as you don't yell "fire" in demosincebirth Feb 2012 #11

I actually agree with the cop's statement on this. rug Feb 2012 #13

terrorist act in the name of his religion, typical bullying from a person insecure in his beliefs nt msongs Feb 2012 #14

It appears that the judge was far from unbiased in this case and should have recused himself. cbayer Feb 2012 #25

Far from unbiased is an understatement. Have a look at this. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #27

Correct. It had nothing at all to do with the attack. 2ndAmForComputers Feb 2012 #82

If only it were that simple. The judge BLAMED the victim, and called him names. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #26

Are you objecting to name-calling or the fact that a magistrate did the name-calling? rug Feb 2012 #38

Are you objecting to anything about the case or just me bringing it up? cleanhippie Feb 2012 #52

I'm objecting to your bizarre reaction and shit slinging. rug Feb 2012 #54

No, but it confirms what most suspect. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #55

Hey rug EvolveOrConvolve Feb 2012 #78

If you read this as my defending this decision you should reacquaint yourself with the word obtuse. rug Feb 2012 #88

A man assaulted another man because he was violently intolerant of "blasphemy", darkstar3 Feb 2012 #67

bingo opiate69 Feb 2012 #87

To be precise, I consider him an idiot. rug Feb 2012 #89

That was the charge, not the action, darkstar3 Feb 2012 #90

If you advocate these ludicrous displays, you're more than part of the problem. rug Feb 2012 #91

What do you think of so-called "anti-blasphemy laws?" 2ndAmForComputers Feb 2012 #93

They're illegal in the U.S. and illiberal elsewhere. rug Feb 2012 #97

Oh look, the oldest argument I know against Gay Pride parades! darkstar3 Feb 2012 #95

Anyone else you want to hide behind? rug Feb 2012 #98

Any other cliche'd tidbits you want to throw out? darkstar3 Feb 2012 #99

Come on, your cliche bin is much bigger than mine. Who else? rug Feb 2012 #100

I hide behind no one. I simply don't mind mentioning it when I find parallels darkstar3 Feb 2012 #102

No, it is a pattern with you. rug Feb 2012 #105

Oh sure, I'm afraid of daylight, that must be it... darkstar3 Feb 2012 #106

QED rug Feb 2012 #107

Yes, but not in the way you "believe". ;) darkstar3 Feb 2012 #108

Don't roll over your argument while you're down there. rug Feb 2012 #109

How many last word contests at one time does it take for you to be happy? darkstar3 Feb 2012 #110

Why are you playing it? rug Feb 2012 #111

Because for the moment I find your addiction entertaining, darkstar3 Feb 2012 #112

It's not your first and it won't be the last. rug Feb 2012 #113

Now I'm beginning to think you have an overly glossy screen and a brightness problem. darkstar3 Feb 2012 #114
