I'm offended.tribe_pride wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 10:13 am Washington Football Team it is. At least for this season. Probably figured it takes a while to do everything associated with branding, etc. right so no point in rushing it. And that way, new season's worth of merchandise with Washington Football Team on it for extra money this year and next.
So you choose Columbus instead. Makes sense.
My parents and I don't talk about religion; it's a sore spot we left behind years ago. I can go into the deep cultural ramifications, but my parents still suffer criticism from the larger Muslim community and their own family for having an openly atheist son. And while I don't care what others think, I do feel horrible for putting my parents - who I genuinely care for - through the suffering.
Do they wail and hit themselves in the head outside your room trying to get you to revert?∞∞∞ wrote: ↑Fri Jul 24, 2020 7:11 amMy parents and I don't talk about religion; it's a sore spot we left behind years ago.

I can probably write a whole book about the experience.
It was half in jest. I don't really expect you to confront your parents over something like that.∞∞∞ wrote: ↑Fri Jul 24, 2020 7:11 amMy parents and I don't talk about religion; it's a sore spot we left behind years ago.

There are a lot more Muslims than Mormons and the members of the former have a limited sense of humor.UNI88 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 24, 2020 7:41 amIt was half in jest. I don't really expect you to confront your parents over something like that.∞∞∞ wrote: ↑Fri Jul 24, 2020 7:11 am

I do wonder why Muhammed and Islam get a pass on the whole slavery thing. Of course I also wonder why LDS is criticized for it's attitudes toward the LGBT community and women but Islam gets a pass there too.
Islam tends not to react well to criticisms and reflection. It's easier to tear down statues of dead white guys because there won't be any pushback (not anything substantial - a few pockets of aggrieved white guys circling a statue isn't really a pushback). You start seriously criticizing Islam and Muhammed especially and all of a sudden there's a fatwa and then pushback starts getting real. Path of least resistance means statues and football team nicknames.UNI88 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 24, 2020 7:41 amIt was half in jest.

There's not reacting well, and then there are fatwa's. Islam in its current form has the top spot to itself among contemporary religions. Of course no one likes criticism, but there are different shades of dislike.Ibanez wrote: ↑Mon Jul 27, 2020 8:21 amMost, if not all, religions don't react well to criticisms and reflections.GannonFan wrote: ↑Mon Jul 27, 2020 8:20 am
