Bulma arguemnent:
White male hate crime / total hate crime = 90%.
Media says 90% of the white male population are hate criminals.
This is untrue.
Wow you expertly defeated that strawman with no mecry
Welldone.
And no, I don't recall "changing the subject."
This is what I mean by 90%.
Including only Anti-Trump and Other next to it, the pie chart really looks like this:
Basically your graph is totally bogus even by graph standards.
If you're a Trump voter:
- You are automatically branded as a white supremacist (unless you happen to be a black or female Trump voter)
- Anti-woman
- Anti-black
- Anti-LGBT
- Anti-Immigrant
- Anti-Muslim
- Anti-Semitic
This is bullshit, and you know it. It is so totally a hack job, that lacks any sensible grounds in reality.
Not only are many Trump voters
black or female, destroying the "racist white guy" narrative, but the one who started the above narrative was none other than Hillary Clinton.
https://time.com/4486502/hillary-clinton-basket-of-deplorables-transcript/You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.
https://www.cato.org/commentary/christianity-worlds-most-persecuted-religion-confirms-new-report#Christianity, the religion of most of these "white male supremacists", is actually incredibly persecuted by the "peaceful Muslims." And also by Hindus. And during the samurai era of Japan, by Buddhists and Shintos. And by Norse and pagans. And secular people.
Christians are branded "violent", when they fight back. When they had enough. When they are are regular humans like everyone else. But Christians never pretended to be anything but human, not if they were honest. It's their enemies that held them up to impossible standards.
https://www.theblaze.com/contributions/islam-is-the-most-violent-religion-in-the-world-but-lets-keep-calling-it-peaceful-anywayThis time around, three masked gunmen stormed the offices of a French satirical newspaper, executing 12 people in cold blood, including two police officers. This is the same newspaper that infamously published a cartoon poking fun at the Prophet Mohammed a few years ago, and was promptly greeted with death threats and a Molotov cocktail for their troubles. In fairness, there's still a lot we don't know about this attack, but it seems very certain that this was another case of Muslim terrorism. The gunmen took out 12 people while shouting "Allahu Akbhar" and "the Prophet has been avenged." All of this over some jokes in a magazine.
Can you imagine Christian radicals committing mass murder at The Onion offices because they're upset about something they found on its website? Can you even fathom such a thing? Probably not, because it never happens. It just never happens. And it's not like Christians don't have plenty of provocation. I still remember stumbling upon this lovely little gem from The Onion last year. It's a hysterical article imagining that Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, became a prostitute to make ends meet. Haha?
This is the kind of thing Christians encounter all the time. Brutal mocking and ridicule dressed up as "humor," but designed only to offend. There's no wit, no punchline, just scorn heaped upon people of my faith. Kind of like this "Family Guy" episode, featuring an adulterous Jesus looking to have sex with a man's wife. Or that hilarious "Curb Your Enthusiasm" episode a few years back where Larry David peed on a picture of Jesus. Or of course the famous "Piss Christ," a crucifix dunked in a bottle of urine and passed off as art. Or the painting of the Virgin Mary smeared in elephant dung. Or "Dogma." Or "The Da Vinci Code." Or a thousand other examples.
Yet nobody ever died because of any of that. And, oh man, if anyone did, can you imagine the backlash? Can you imagine the media reaction if just one Christian murdered just one person as a reprisal for some offensive joke or provocative cartoon? We'd be ready to ban the entire religion in this country. Progressives are so desperate to prove that Christianity is just as violent as Islam that they frequently cite the murder of abortion doctors as an example. Only, none of those attacks were carried out in the name of Jesus. As far as I'm aware, none of the murderers shouted "Praise be to Christ" when they pulled the trigger.
And how many incidents are we even talking about here? I'll tell you: eight. Eight abortionists and abortion clinic workers have been killed in the U.S. in the past 40 years. It's happened once in the last decade and a half. Once.
Yet Christians are held to such a high standard that even these extraordinarily rare killings, not even done in the name of the faith, and always condemned by nearly every prominent Christian, are cited in almost every conversation about religious violence. Meanwhile, Muslims just gunned down 12 people over a cartoon this morning, and what do we immediately hear? "Islam is a religion of peace."
I didn't say that all Muslims are violent, or even that most Muslims are violent. I didn't even say that Islam is the most destructive religion in the world -- that title belongs to progressivism, which murders babies, destroys families, and damns souls. Yet it is the most violent, and we all know it.
And, please, don't tell me that Muslims tend to be violent because they're a historically oppressed people. All religions have been oppressed at one time or another, but Muslims have also always controlled wide swaths of the globe. Ever hear of the Ottoman Empire? And don't try to work the Crusades into this conversation, unless you want to prove my point for me. The Crusades were waged against Muslim aggressors after several hundred years of persecution at the hands of Arabic forces. The Crusades were a war of defense, sparked, as usual, by Muslim conquest. No, there's no way around this. Islam is more violent than any religion that's ever existed anywhere. We have to face that fact. Muslims especially have to face it.
Over 500 people killed, just in January.
Let's look at that Reuters pie chart, and see where in that Other chunk of the population there are violent crimes by Muslims. Oh wait, not mentioned. Even though Muslims crashed a couple planes into a couple of buildings, and gunned down a bunch of ppl in a nightclub, most of the violence that happens in Muslim areas like Dearborn Michigan stays out of neat little graphs like this.
https://religiousfreedomcoalition.org/2012/01/27/hate-crime-violence-by-muslims-on-upswing-in-michigan/It's always whites, it's always conservatives, it's always males. If you believe the narrative.
Pie chart doesn't even have real percents. It has numbers with no dates and no context.
This one is more of a real pie graph, and after blacks, the primary target are whites.
However, we don't actually know that the murderer is white killing a black. We're just led to assume this from an incomplete chart. But other statistics don't show this.
As you can see, most violence is white-on-white, black-on-black, other-on-other.
These crimes are
not racially motivated.
White supremacy isn't nearly the thing you think it is. But if you're gonna make it a thing, blacks are 2.3 times more likely to kill whites than the other way around!
But we will change the subject, because this thread is about Jesus, not your transparent attempts to crucify Christianity. Christians are fallible humans. Unless you can prove that Jesus wasn't far better than his time, you're comparing apples and oranges.
