No, I’m using a comparison for illustrative purposes. This is a common rhetorical device.
I’m not even bitching about anything - I thanked you for doing as asked. But I didn’t actually need the comparison spelled out, because I was spelling it out, in that request. ‘It’s not directly about either religion’ is the point I was making.
People aren’t mind readers nor should you treat them like morons. Say your piece and make your point. This kind of antagonistic semi-“friendly” shit will get you banned for longer next time.
Someone asked me to explain what I said… so I did.
What else was I supposed to do? It was sincere and direct. I never so much as hinted at the other user’s personage or internal state. This was bone-dry and still treated like I was the one making hostile accusations.
I said up-front, the rhetorical suggestion was for a direct comparison. Someone did it anyway. So I made the direct comparison, using their words… and thanked them for making it even more explicit.
This user then accused me of “bitching about” their reply, when my reply was, ‘exactly.’ They took offense over literally nothing. Again, days later, I have no idea what I could have said differently. If politely explaining conversational English is treated as an attack, do I just shut up and take my lumps?
When I am antagonistic toward someone, it is not subtle. A practice I’m unlikely to second-guess, if detailed patience is rewarded with a boot in the ass.
It’s not directly about Judaism. It’s directly about their Christian belief that the Temple needs to be rebuilt in Jerusalem for Jesus to return.
And then all the Jews get thrown into Hell.
They care about Israel because it’s a tool for them. The Jews can go fuck themselves once they’ve done their job as far as they’re concerned.
Uh huh. And their opinions about Islam aren’t really about Islam; they’re just a tool for talking about brown people. Thanks for playing along.
You literally said:
And I told you that and why. So I’m not sure what your deal is now.
… what’s the next sentence, after that.
Again- you asked for something. I gave you what you asked. Now you’re bitching about it.

That is not at all what happened here.
