Post #31My apologies.

So......you're not supposed to do them.As well as speeding, discharging firearms in the city, prostitution, and reckless endangerment. So what?
.........as if you had any right to deny them to others......Actually, I cherish my freedoms whether or not I cherish the same freedoms for others. I may simply grant them to others.
Substituting rebuttal with cheap humor is lame.But my wardrobe analogy can beat your silly hyperbole any day of the week, and with both of its halter straps tied behind its back.
We never have a right to make others suffer the consequences of our "freedom".Ever hear of war? Right now I'm hoping Putin is suffering his defeats in the Ukraine from the Ukrainian attacks to preserve their freedom. Don't you? . . . . . . Perhaps not.
I don't, but perhaps if your English was more intelligible, unlike your, "Religion and religious practices wiped out by the Catholic Church doesn't mean when someone starts to do them their appopriation." I'd have a chance.The Ukrainians are defending their freedom against Putin's attack. Your failure to understand the difference indicates that you have no grasp of my point.

Post #32I wish we lived in a world where we could believe what we wanted, and not be sullied by what someone else does or thinks who also happens to believe the same thing.Athetotheist wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 9:35 pm https://www.theatlantic.com/internation ... sm/543864/

Post #33These cretins did it to Christianity for hundreds of years. Welcome to the club, pagans. And yes, call them out and shame them at every opportunity for their evil and their ignorant appropriation of your faith.Athetotheist wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 9:35 pm https://www.theatlantic.com/internation ... sm/543864/
