and the atheist argument is weak. That's like making racist jokes and saying I make fun of all races so it's alright. do you know how that holds up in a court of law? it doesn't
Actually, I said no such thing. Those are your words. I only said that you are being oversensitive about the discussion of your religion. You still haven't said why you feel my criticism isn't legitimate, and you haven't discussed at all whether you feel that Islam is a patriarchal religion. You came to this thread to criticise me instead of actually discussing the topics at hand and bringing up counter arguments.
So atheists are the equivalent of racists, just discriminating against religions? Gee, there is a great track record through history of religious people being tolerant of other religions.
My atheism argument is not weak at all, because it is relevant to the fact that I will never accept "the Bible/Quran/Torah etc. says it is so, so it must be so" argument that I often hear from religious folk. I criticise and question religion because I am free to do it, especially when it does damage to society and individuals.
