Looks like a fairly new film. Is it on DVD?

[Jason]

Nevermind, saw its in HBO and I don't get it

[the dude abides]

Yeah, it's HBO. Just won an Oscar.

My kids were asking about Muhammad last week and how he died. Found an article that included info about his marriages. He was married to somewhere between 14 and 21 women. His youngest wife was only 6 when they married (he was 53). But don't worry, friends. He waited until she was 9 before they consummated things.

Oh, and he was poisoned by some chick, causing his death.

Add this to the list of religious documentaries I want to see. Haven't seen Going Clear either. Kinda hoping they show up on Netflix or Amazon eventually.

If you're the type who also attributes the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the witch trials directly to Christianity, then sure, you can also assign honor killings to Islam... even though there is nothing in the Quran that pertains to honor killings. Flawed logic, IMO. It's a cultural problem.

And tank, you got most of that information from a bad source.

[InsideThePark]

I missed you too, cals.

[Adam]

I think ITP is a cleric

[Adam]

I'm ashamed of how low my balls hang

The shit you guys watch for entertainment. Does anyone really need to watch the entire doc? At most I'll take a summary...but do I even want that? I get it.

I do indeed attribute those to Christianity.

[AngelsLongBall]

Yes?

[mtangelsfan]

I do indeed attribute those to Christianity.

 

and I will assign Pol Pot, Stalin and Mao to atheism.

 

I'm pretty sure they are responsible for more deaths than any.

[mtangelsfan]

Islam is absolutely nuts. Any rational person wouldn't believe it.

 

Christianity gave us the Iraq war, which led to the slaughtering of a million brown people, they currently love them some Trump, so I say both "ultimate truths" are counterproductive to a stable society. Both create mindless racism and nationalism.

 

Bin Laden was a war criminal. Ditto Bush and Cheney. Two wrongs don't make a right but I happen to think what the latter did was worse and the people who re-elected them should be as ashamed as people who supported islamic terrorism. 

 

 

your obsession is irrational.
