Read and learn. Wikipedia is your friend. If there aren't multiple flags for incorrect/unsupported info on a page (that is, the big alerts at the top), the information should be good.
What colonialism was there in Saudi or Afghanistan?
It was more than likely written by a Muslim.
Wikipedia is your friend: "During the nineteenth century, following the Anglo-Afghan wars (fought 183942, 187880, and lastly in 1919) and the ascension of the Barakzai dynasty, Afghanistan saw much of its territory and autonomy ceded to the United Kingdom. The UK exercised a great deal of influence, and it was not until King Amanullah Khan acceded to the throne in 1919 that Afghanistan re-gained complete independence over its foreign affairs."What colonialism was there in Saudi or Afghanistan?
Shifting the goal posts, are we?Sufficed to say, religion has never been all sweetness and light, it was a dark and dirty business for millions for a long long time, torture was usually the order of the day, if they could get you to confess your sins no matter what the cost was to your body your soul would benifit, which was the main thing.
Wow.Wow.
Just...wow.
1) Most of the middle east was under Colonial control at one time or another...look up "British Palestine," for example.
So far nothing has proved me wrong.2) Dismissing something that proves you wrong because of a possible quality of the author of said article is illogical. Disprove the content, do not attack the author.
Wow.
Just...wow
Who mentioned Palistine???
So far nothing has proved me wrong.
At the time I believe half the world was red where Britain had influence or power.Wikipedia is your friend: "During the nineteenth century, following the Anglo-Afghan wars (fought 1839–42, 1878–80, and lastly in 1919) and the ascension of the Barakzai dynasty, Afghanistan saw much of its territory and autonomy ceded to the United Kingdom. The UK exercised a great deal of influence, and it was not until King Amanullah Khan acceded to the throne in 1919 that Afghanistan re-gained complete independence over its foreign affairs."
Saudi is filthy rich because the west can't do without it's oil.Saudi Arabia is filthy rich, due to its oil reserves. And though it may not have been subject to European colonialism, vast portions of the Middle East and the Arabian peninsula were.
Shifting the goal posts, are we?
Exactly. That's why they call it "The Colonial Age", you know?At the time I believe half the world was red where Britain had influence or power.
That's still shifting the goal posts. (Oh, and me being numbered among the "religious people"? That's pretty hilarious!)No I didn't shift the goal posts I simply talked about how religions were once cruel and oppressive, I must say it's very strange how religious people never seem to want to talk about that, I wonder why?

A "holistic analysis of the Kabbalah focusing on the neglected/marginalized/demonized aspects", perhaps?Truly, I find it hilarious that we're lumped in with Abrahamic monotheists in discussions with this bridge-dwelling entity.
I've found myself in sudden possession of two copies of Karlsson's qliphoth text. I'm wondering how dingdong would explain Karlsson's...daemonology? Maltheology? I'm not quite sure what term I would use for it...
A "holistic analysis of the Kabbalah focusing on the neglected/marginalized/demonized aspects", perhaps?
Or "working with the shadow archetype"?
"Sifting the cosmic landfill for gems and hidden treasures"?
"Transhumanist occultism"?
I think you have got that a little bit wrong, I think all of the creativity stopped when Islam came along,
I could be wrong perhaps someone with a better knowledge of the middle east could answer that one.
Saudi Arabia has only just arrived in the 20th century, India has more religions than you can shake a stick at and most of it's population are living in slums, Afghanistan was run by the Tali ban for the benefit of it's religion, Ireland was run by Catholicism.
[Citation needed]Religions have been responsible (or the people who were leading them) for more poverty and pain than most diseases.
[Citation needed]Religions were there not to help people but to subjugate them,
I can see this, but religion was far from the only reason, or even the main reason.slavery was backed by religions.
First thing I've properly agreed with so far, although it has nothing to do with your actual point.Religions were used to control people, read your history books.
And once again: [citation needed]More people hated religion than loved it because they feared it, it could ruin their lives if they fell out with it.
There is a God.

So what you're saying is that you can not bring any proof to back up your statements - the request, by the way, coming from another atheist - so instead you're going to change the topic, again.
Makes sense.
