Religious privilege

Last edited Thu May 1, 2014, 12:56 AM - Edit history (1)

The ability to claim that no matter what the head of one's own belief system does or says they are not a bigot (cause the head of ONE'S OWN RELIGION is nothing but win and ponies) and anyone who calls them out on their actual words or actions is the real bigot.

IE the "my religion is rubber and yours is glue" defense.

1. Alcohol

I'm having some now.

2. I really like waffles

I bought a waffle maker at a community garage sale many years ago. The waffle maker was older than I was. It was harvest gold, and made awesome waffles. It got hot as shit and had no safety mechanism to prevent one from burning the shit out of themselves. Eventually the handle fell off and we had to get a new one. The new one sucks. It's white. I liked the harvest gold one, with the etching of wheat and corn on the lid. The new one just does't have any panache and I didn't realize it was Belgian waffle maker when I got it and I think Belgain waffles are just too thick. I like the thinner "non belgian" waffles, personally.

6. That sounds like quite the antique

I can only imagine how great those waffles would have been. I personally love all types of waffles. Especially with fresh fruit on them like strawberries and bananas.

18. I knew it! You hate Belgians!

You aBelgianists are all the same. What's that? Of course I call out Belgianists and aBelgianists on their bigotry even though I can't point you to a single post where I've called Belgianists on their nonsense. Never mind that you can't find any posts where I've done that, either--they're out there! You'll just have to trust me that I've never waffled on that.

23. I just wish I was more mediocre

Then I could enjoy Belgian waffles

3. I'm going with waffles, because it had the most votes, and I am a mindless pack animal.

[LostOne4Ever]

7. Good choice! (nt)

[AtheistCrusader]

16. I see I chose poorly, as the pack has selected Alcohol. So, I have changed my vote.

[deucemagnet]

4. Alcohol.

Because it's finals week and I have lab reports and essay questions to grade and I just want to be done. Lots of alcohol.

[Thor_MN]

5. Uh, What?

[LostOne4Ever]

8. This thread is a reference to another thread in the other forum

One in which it was said that anyone who calls out a certain leader of a certain sect of the worlds most popular religion for homophobic remarks he made....are the real bigots.

You know, the whole you are a bigot for not accepting my bigotry argument.

That and I thought we needed a new poll on breakfast foods.

[Beearewhyain]

9. I was waffling between

Alcohol or Pancakes so I guess I have to go with French Toast, or as I like to call it, Atheist Toast.

[defacto7]

10. Ever had alcohol on waffles?

Scotch and waffles is the missing category which would be the correct answer to your premise. Yes, I believe in scotch and waffles.

[LostOne4Ever]

11. Fixed the poll for you!

I didn't even think of that combination!

[defacto7]

12. Thank Gawd we're saved!

n/t

[trotsky]

14. Sacrilege.

Scotch (GOOD Scotch) should never be drunk with any food. You don't want to mess with those beautiful, wonderful flavors and aromas.

[defacto7]

24. Yes it very well may be blasphemy...

but a blaspheme a day
keeps believers at bay!

[Major Nikon]

25. Yes

A by-product of yeast fermentation is alcohol and I've made soudough waffles.

[Warren Stupidity]

13. I'M OUTRAGED AND WILL NOT BE PARTICIPATING ANYMORE!

[trotsky]

15. C'mon, it was four years ago when he said gay marriage was from Satan.

In the last month, he has significantly moderated his position to say that children must be raised with a father and a mother.

See? Totally not a bigot anymore.

Now for fun, let's go start a thread in GD saying that we think children should have a father and a mother, and see how quickly we get banned from DU.

But popey isn't a bigot, nope, not at all. In fact, the true bigots are the ones who call him a bigot because they are uh... well... THEY JUST ARE SO SHUT UP!

[AtheistCrusader]

17. The cognitive dissonance is staggering.

It really is.

[AlbertCat]

20. he has significantly moderated his position

Actually.... that aint too bad....

....for a guy who dropped out of the real world for the celibate/ don't mix the genders/ let's apply theology to everything world of Medieval costumes and ancient daily ritual.

We should all listen to such types! They KNOW!

[trotsky]

21. Yeah the whole deal is, the guy isn't stupid. Neither are the cardinals.

They've very smart, very crafty, very corrupt old men.

They know very well what's wrong with the church, and why people are leaving it. They also know very well that their own rigid dogma forbids them from actually making real changes to address the problems. (That those changes would loosen their grip on power doesn't help things either.)

So they opted for the only alternative available: a slick PR campaign kicked off by a new pope. The uninformed and naively optimistic behaved JUST LIKE THE RCC HIERARCHY KNEW THEY WOULD. Lapped it the fuck up.

All you have to do is look at the incredible contortions people are doing in the Religion group to excuse the pope from the label they would HAPPILY slap on anyone who had said even 10% of what he has about same-sex marriage and adoption.

It is disgusting and repulsive but at least it's confirmed that I must be doing something right to be hated so much by the people defending that bigot.

19. Who needs the Cooking and Baking group, when A&A can come up with supper suggestions too?

Scotch and waffles it is!

[nil desperandum]

22. Alcohol

Without the assistance of the demon drink one can't begin to fathom the logic in the post referenced here. I read that stuff and thought I had slipped through to some twilight zone alternate universe where "Idiocracy" was a documentary....
