The fact that this is the Halmark channel makes the lining a little more silver Major Nikon Dec 2019 #7

You can refute the article, guillaumeb Dec 2019 #12

And the truth is, China is very intolerant of theists, and LGBTQ people. eom guillaumeb Dec 2019 #14

And what does that have to do with the Hallmark Channel rejecting bigotry? trotsky Dec 2019 #18

The topic is intolerance for LGBTQ people. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #21

Oh so YOU'RE allowed to veer off into any topic you want, trotsky Dec 2019 #23

Ironic, given your own demonstrated behavior. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #25

So I deserve it? trotsky Dec 2019 #28

Do you deserve it? guillaumeb Dec 2019 #31

I don't think I do. trotsky Dec 2019 #33

I believe that you feel this way. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #34

#whataboutism trotsky Dec 2019 #15

If only you recognized how often you engage in it. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #16

Yes, you do engage in that as well. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #20

So your excuse for behaving badly is that you think others are behaving badly. trotsky Dec 2019 #22

I am employing the scientific method of observation and analysis. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #24

In other words, you judge others, and dispense "eye for an eye" justice. trotsky Dec 2019 #29

Sad that you reject the scientific method. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #32

Of course I don't. You are deflecting so you don't have to acknowledge your behavior. trotsky Dec 2019 #35

So if you are guilty, guillaumeb Dec 2019 #37

Oh look, it's a variation on "I'm not judging you, the bible is!" trotsky Dec 2019 #39

You must judge yourself. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #40

Continued deflection. trotsky Dec 2019 #41

Yes, it is. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #42

It makes no difference to the victims. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #44

You don't seem to understand how humans work. AtheistCrusader Dec 2019 #45

We agree that authoritarians will behave as authoritarians. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #46

If you understand humans, why do you keep banging that 'atheist' drum about China, when it AtheistCrusader Dec 2019 #48

If it is a political theocracy, guillaumeb Dec 2019 #49

Which explains why you keep banging on about China and only China. AtheistCrusader Dec 2019 #50

You missed the point. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #54

And yet you keep citing communist nations. AtheistCrusader Dec 2019 #55

So you are using the "no true Scotsman" fallacy guillaumeb Dec 2019 #56

Uh no, I specified 13 (nearly 14) other nations above the 50% mark on population atheism. AtheistCrusader Dec 2019 #57

You said: guillaumeb Dec 2019 #58

You know what Theistic means right? AtheistCrusader Dec 2019 #59

A nice try, and I could ask the same question of you. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #60

I didn't invent my own definitions. I observed what the subject nations ARE. AtheistCrusader Dec 2019 #61

Allow me to ask a related question. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #62

I don't see how it's related, but I'm sure you know, that is unknown. AtheistCrusader Dec 2019 #63

If anyone points to a society that apepars to be free of intolerance, guillaumeb Dec 2019 #64
