Racial justice: The new religion?

[Mister D]

If there is a second civil war--and I certainly hope that there is not--it will surely not be fought along regional lines (i.e. North versus South), but along ideological lines (i.e. Blue versus Red).

I can hardly believe that you do not understand this.

jet57 is waste of time. I can't tell if he's just trolling but, in any case, he's not worthy of reply and this is a precisely why.

The Cult of the Dems.

I asked for a religion; what religion was it.

Is that why you reply to me all the time over at Debate Politics?

[jet57]

It wasn't.

There are literally no parallels between either one of those and religion.

It HAS to be. If Peter's gonna go 'round sayin that racial justice is a new religion, then racial hate has to be a religion too, or Peter just making it up as he goes along?

In Rome or in the Aztec civilizations?

So you're admitting defeat eh? Yeah, it gets difficult when some get caught talkin about of both sides of their mouths leaving their "team members" stranded and unable to dig them out.

It's secular religion, And, no, it does not follow that racism is therefore a religion. That's you making things up.

LOL

Do you really think this is just a regional battle brewing?

Was our civil war just a regional battle? No it wasn't was it.

(chuckle)

YOU don't think that our civil war was about ideology? Of course it was. This new kerfuffle is about ideology as well: it's about putting down the far right-wing ideology and that is something worth fighting for.

Nonsense: if racial equality and justice is a "secular religion"... then as I said, racial hate and practice of that hate was and is ALSO a secular religion. Peter can't just talk out of both sides of his mouth and I would discourage you from doing it as well.

Normally, when one argues A therefore B, one actually does some arguing to reasonably demonstrate it, not merely make declarations and then repeat them ad nauseum.

So, go ahead, prove it.
