Missed. guillaumeb Jan 2019 #6

Bullshit. You made this about religion and posted it in the religion group Major Nikon Jan 2019 #8

Once again, guillaumeb Jan 2019 #9

So now I have to comment on the article itself and not the editorial comments in the OP? Major Nikon Jan 2019 #10

The article does deal with the terrible tactics employed by the Chinese Government. guillaumeb Jan 2019 #11

So now I'm ignoring it if I don't follow your marching orders? Major Nikon Jan 2019 #12

So why are you posting in the religion group? Lordquinton Jan 2019 #14

And yet when humans behave decently, you never hesitate to give credit to religion. trotsky Jan 2019 #18

Not actually the case. guillaumeb Jan 2019 #20

Actually the case. trotsky Jan 2019 #22

It really helps in China to be part of the majority. Igel Jan 2019 #5

No, I am saying something different. guillaumeb Jan 2019 #19

Do you think China should be more tolerant of the Turkistan Islamic Party? Major Nikon Jan 2019 #25

Start another post in GD. guillaumeb Jan 2019 #32

Meanwhile you still didn't answer the question Major Nikon Jan 2019 #33

Blaming your refusal to engage in discussion on someone else is also revealing Major Nikon Jan 2019 #44

That is how Gil practices Christianity. Mariana Jan 2019 #75

MK's replies are an example if diversion. guillaumeb Jan 2019 #81

Please stop calling me out like that. MineralMan Jan 2019 #79

Simply repeating your own advice. guillaumeb Jan 2019 #80

I speak for myself. I insist that you not speak for me, MineralMan Jan 2019 #82

And do you feel free to speak for theists? guillaumeb Jan 2019 #83

Not the same thing in any way. MineralMan Jan 2019 #84

Creating another rule? guillaumeb Jan 2019 #85

You just keep pointing at the motes in others' eyes while ignoring the plank in your own. trotsky Jan 2019 #95

And keep avoiding the substance if the post. guillaumeb Jan 2019 #96

Yes, "we" do. trotsky Jan 2019 #97

1.1 million spies being placed in the homes of theists. guillaumeb Jan 2019 #98

It is their totalitarian government responsible for this behavior. trotsky Jan 2019 #99

And the leaders of this totalitarian Government are.....? guillaumeb Jan 2019 #100

I don't know which leaders are responsible, nor what they truly believe. trotsky Jan 2019 #101

The leaders are atheists. guillaumeb Jan 2019 #102

But you made an additional claim. trotsky Jan 2019 #103

No, I did not make that claim. guillaumeb Jan 2019 #104

So you now admit atheism had nothing to do with this? trotsky Jan 2019 #105

Again with the misframing. guillaumeb Jan 2019 #106

Did atheism have anything to do with this or not? trotsky Jan 2019 #107

Well, you could discuss the actual post, guillaumeb Jan 2019 #29

How about you discuss the actual post then? trotsky Jan 2019 #37

I'm sure we agree on a great many things. Act_of_Reparation Jan 2019 #26

What leads you to assume that the mass of the Chinese people support their own Government? guillaumeb Jan 2019 #30

What leads you to believe they don't? Act_of_Reparation Jan 2019 #36

While in Saudi Arabia... edhopper Jan 2019 #24

Except for the fact that I ended by writing: guillaumeb Jan 2019 #27

So what is your point? edhopper Jan 2019 #46

Simply pointing out the obvious. guillaumeb Jan 2019 #47

Are they doing it becaue of atheism. edhopper Jan 2019 #49

They are doing it because they are totalitarians. guillaumeb Jan 2019 #50
