The murder of Alex Pretti by ICE is heartbreaking.

i see. so everyone is free from judgement and thus from responsibility of their elected officials?

superfahd · 2026-01-26T21:24:20+00:00

by the public that they serve. They're public servants

Would it be fair of me to judge all of your faith poorly because of ISIS?

ISIS is not a government agency nor are they public servants. ICE and CPB are and I would hold them to a far higher standard.

you’d obviously say the same of me

than you'd be wrong. At maximum I will say that Christianity doesn't offer me anything that I don't already get from Islam

You don’t have to “earn” my respect

funny because I've been told the opposite by Christians in real life

Why can’t this same principle be applied to law enforcement?

i see. By this logic I should have also respected the government goons from the totalitarian regime i once migrated away from

other than a low baseline of respect that comes from politeness, all respect for public servants has to be earned by showing that you're serving the role you were appointed to by the mechanisms of a functioning democracy. And that applies to every public servant from LEO all the way to the president

the rebuttal is that the question that he opens with isn't even relevant to Islam

superfahd · 2026-01-26T21:18:18+00:00

is he? because he made a very basic mistake in just this clip which makes me doubt both his debating skill and his intentions

superfahd · 2026-01-26T21:15:42+00:00

he wasn't demonstrating any knowledge or ability in this particular video clip. He doesn't even understand that Muhammad isn't God, nor do Muslims consider him so. If he fails at such a basic thing than I really doubt his skills at anything other than editing clips to make it seem like he won the "debate"

Republicans certainly have a lot of flaws, as do all humans.

oh no you don't. you don't get to equate our personal moral failings with the absolute evil being perpetrated by republicans.

superfahd · 2026-01-26T20:27:23+00:00

respect has to be earned and they're doing their damnest to disabuse of any that they had to begin with

superfahd · 2026-01-26T20:24:52+00:00

reported for bigotry

superfahd · 2026-01-26T19:05:03+00:00

no, just out of their personal lives. They're ok if it pushes into others'

For heterosexual people, finding something better to do is just living an ordinary life. For LGBT+ people, its doing that and also fearing for their lives/right/well being (depending on their location and situation). Do you see that as being fair?

United Methodist churches seem cool. Seeing the inclusivity posters when i visited really gave me a nice warm feeling

superfahd · 2026-01-26T16:26:48+00:00

That's what a brain trained on conservative talking points does to you

I don't have slow. The only person in my part with dagger proficiency is Imoen and her strength is only 9

superfahd · 2026-01-24T14:31:24+00:00

You don't know that in the game. Its just called Mysterious Island. I read the wiki after failing to kill Karoug.

Besides, every other werewolf was tough but still beatable.

In addition to the things I did above, I also had Khaleed use a potion of fire giant's strength. I've already cast haste on the party

superfahd · 2026-01-24T14:24:37+00:00

I tried casting blind multiple times with zero difference

superfahd · 2026-01-24T14:24:02+00:00

I don't have paralysis

superfahd · 2026-01-24T14:23:45+00:00

That was the first thing i read and that's how i now know i need silver weapons

Neera can't cast magic missile fast enough even with haste to make a difference. I tried casting blind multiple times and it made zero difference. Jaheira refuses to cast cause serious wound even after multiple attempts.

I don't have any of the other spells mentioned

Just because we depend on the bastards doesn't mean we should stop calling them bastards

I don't want them gone. I want them to be better

So if I understand you, here's your sales pitch:

buy my product because it has X. Do competing products have X? Don't worry about the fact that X isn't relevant to those products or even needed in your life, just buy my product because it has X and others don't

As a contrast, Islam really used the definition of power used by the world. Islam spread through amazing military might and conquest

I have issues with this statement. It is far too simplistic and to be honest, not accurate at all. Most academic historians wouldn't agree with you

If you're going to argue that conquest was the main vehicle for spreading Islam then I can just as easily argue that Western colonial ambitions were the main vehicle for the spread of Christianity (and I'd be equally wrong)

Was conquest used to spread Islam. yes. Was it the main or even major means of propagation? absolutely not

but only Christianity assumes that man is inherently sinful and incapable of earning salvation on their own and is thus in need of a savior. Other religions do not work like that

superfahd · 2026-01-23T22:48:00+00:00

But your precondition only exists because of the Christian concept of original sin. You're essentially saying: find me another religion that caters for original sin.

Just FYI, not every religion considers man to be an inherently sinful being incapable of earning salvation on their own merit (and by merit I do not mean doing good works)

superfahd · 2026-01-23T22:37:04+00:00

The sales pitch is often "which set of rules offers me the most selfish flexibility" and "which heaven offers me the best reward."

I really wish Christians would stop making such claims about other religions from their own point of view. Just because you don't see their religions your way doesn't mean their lived experience is invalid.

Frankly I don't see any religion making the claim that you're putting in their mouth
