This made me LOL. Nice work, idiot.
Fuck you too. If we can’t debate here as equals then I have no interest in being able to post here. Mods shouldn’t have any extra power to ban people just because they disagree. I’m a paid member. Do your worst.

Saying “fuck you” to other posters is a violation of the Pit’s language rules. Please avoid this in the future.
No warning issued.

Then please don’t fucking comment any more on the titles of islamic leaders. Can this thread be about what they say and if thats acceptable or not? Is it acceptable for an islamic leader to say that beating your wife is ok? please answer me that?
I’m not sure how that follows from me not giving you a warning.
You and monty have both commented on me but scrupulously avoided actually saying anything about my main point. Which is that I don’t give a flying fuck if the grand mufti of saudi arabia is a priest or not. I care that what he says is stupid and open to ridicule. Similarly the other saudi “not a priest” I quoted above says that beating your wife is ok. Do you agree with that or not?
How does that answer the question I just asked?
In order for you to debate as equals with Miller, you’re going to need to become roughly twice as smart as you are now.
I’ve looked back over your last few posts, all I see is a request not to say to people “fuck you”. That one is no problem. I wont do that again. So lets bring this discussion back to what islam religious “not priests” say and if thats acceptable or not.
Are you illiterate or just stupid? I commented on your asinine point.
Again there is zero discussion on what some islamic leaders say and just an attack on me. Can we talk about the stupidity of what this particular islamic leader says or not?
Loan words in the English language are English words. I’m going to have to go with “Just stupid” as the answer to my last question put to you.
You’re wrong. Read back through the thread and you’ll see that I actually did comment on your so-called point. Now you’re just embarrassing yourself by highlighting the depth of your ignorance and your refusal to learn.
Again total ignorance and avoidance of the issue. Do you think its acceptable for saudi religious leaders to say that its ok to beat your wife?
Where do you get the idea that I think that’s acceptable? Your answer should be amusing since not only have I never felt that way, I have never said nor implied such a thing.
By the way, I also think the laws permitting corporal punishment in schools in the United States should be repealed.
ETA: You appear to be ignorant of the meaning of the English word ignorance.
What does Spider-Man! have to do with anything? I just find it funny that people unironically criticize others rationality while believing fervently in tales told to control the stupid of the past.
It is my experience that when on this board someone criticizes The death penalty for apostasy to Islam, for drawing images of Mohammed, general lack of human rights for women, Islamic finance, etc. etc., apologists often make an excuse that it is a cultural or political practice. I thought that my snide remark would show that in the case of this fatwa against chess, the justification given is religious. Does Saudi Arabian society have a prejudice against Chess that predates Islam? No.
What is sort of happening seems to be different. Instead of saying this action is culturally based, the claim is that the Grand Mufti is a buffoon, a nobody, whose opinion is of no more import than that of a random madrasa student. But I believe there are some people in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere that would prefer to continue playing chess, but instead will accept this man’s authority and stop. He has influence even if not universal authority.
I get it that Islam claims it is very decentralized, but how true is this in practice? It is easy to see why Muslims living under the protection of the laws of western democratic governments will jeer at Mufti Sheik, and claim that they are justified on religious grounds for ignoring him. But can you really do this for any belief in Islam? If you can’t open a mosque where men and women pray together as equals before Allah without worrying about being lynched, do you really have the ability to decide about this aspect of Islam on your own? (I don’t know of an example where this happened, I include it only as a theoretical version of liberalized Islam).
And on the other side of the coin, if Islam is so individualistic, how can it be claimed that ISIS’s version is not also a variant of Islam?
You (sky fairies) and Robert 163 (Spider-man) are equally idiotic when it comes to religion. Adolescent. Juvenile. Sophomoric. Asinine. Fatuous. Hopefully, you’ll understand one of those words.
I was the person you were criticizing for my “rational criticism” of Robert163 because of my supposed fervent belief in sky fairies.
I responded that I’m an atheist. You can’t put it all together. So you make wet fart noises instead.
You are also an idiot, incapable of seeing any degree of power or authority between infallible Pope and utterly irrelevant scholar. No one has said the the fatwa on chess was “okay” or acceptable. No one said this particular leader had zero influence. You bounce around like a pinball trying to hit an intelligent thought and failing.
Also, you are an idiot about language. To keep your English pure, be sure not to use the words smithereens, candy, poltergeist, lemon, robot, serendipity, dollar, or piano.
Obsequiousness is pathetic.
