Should atheist civil servants be allowed to refuse to process the registration of congregations and thus deprive them of whatever perks such registration might bring in that jurisdiction (such as tax exemption or right to conduct marriages)?

Persistent grossly immoral behaviour, after having tried in vain every imaginable way to resolve it amiably. The Quran search service I'm using appears to be down at the moment, I'll get back to you later.

I'd say Christians are. Jews, not so much. They're closer to heretics than infidels.

In case someone didn't get what was meant by the above:

Mwahahahahoahaoahaahaaahahaha! Our family values can beat up your family values! :D:P

I think Baha'i is a soft variant of Islam. They're not even real infidels.

Your signature... lol... be aware that I'm trying very hard to resist posting a very razz macro...

I hope I would never have to do that. Yet, I recognize that there are specific circumstances that warrant it. There are five passages in the Quran dealing with witnessing for judicial purposes. Only in one of them does gender matter, and that is when witnessing the entering of economic...

If it is the consensus of the rest of humanity that Islam is oppressive, then I am an oppressor. I do not ask for permission to practice Islam, I kiss the iron boot.

Oh yeah, yesterday I earned myself some divine brownie points by beheading my aunt, my granny, my mother-in-law and my imam's pet dog.

Actually, that's not why her post was a false dichotomy. You are of course correct in what you say, but the reason for why her post was a false dichotomy is that it assumed that you'd either have to be a "peaceful Muslim" (whatever that may mean) or one of those Muslims who do bad stuff on TV. I...

Mmkay, now show me where the Quran proscribes capital punishment for divorce. And I'd too like to see where I've made any statement regarding Christianity doing anything in this thread.

And you prove that you don't know crap about the fallacies you accuse people of. I'm accusing you of committing a fallacy. I would have to do it with the purpose of diverting attention from some fallacy I'm supposedly committing for it to be a tu quoque. In other words, you will have to assume...

Bless you too :wave:

Why do you insist that anyone arguing with you do so on your terms, accepting the postulates of your worldview as axiomatic? To insist that we accept the non-existence of god(s) as part of objective reality is to do so.

And your above post is a red herring if there ever was one. Post #113 still presents a false dichotomy.

False dichotomy.

Now that you mentioned it, no, Allah is not described in fatherly terms anywhere in the Quran.

And despite not knowing ancient Arabic, I've been able to prove you wrong by reductio ad absurdum in the past. Do you have any idea of how silly you look?

That might be what you think, but it's not like every Christian everywhere has been in uniform agreement of what the doctrine exactly states, neither pre nor post Nicaea. Heck, disagreement between the internal relations of the constituent parts of the Trinity was one of the causes of the...
