@rfbuckey @InspiringPhilos Huzzah!

[Jon Rueger @jonrueger]

@rfbuckey @InspiringPhilos Oh no! My LAST CHANCE?!

I’ll play.

I see your single, contextless screengrab, and raise you three. A total victory for me, by your cheap and silly metric.

“Unambiguous” proof that Christianity is not compatible with the pluralistic West.

No further analysis needed. Right?

[Jon Rueger @jonrueger]

@rfbuckey @InspiringPhilos Ope!

[Jon Rueger @jonrueger]

@rfbuckey @InspiringPhilos There, I’ve responded to your juvenile challenge in kind.

So tell me: do you propose we impose an ethnic or religious test to keep Muslims out of the US?

Simple question. Should be easy for you to answer.

[Jon Rueger @jonrueger]

@rfbuckey @InspiringPhilos OK lol, fine.

You have provided an ambiguous, contextless quote from the Quran without any exposition or cites from experts.

If I provide a similar quote from the Bible, you’ll just accept at it at face value? You won’t plead “context” or try to explain it away?

Fair is fair.

[Jon Rueger @jonrueger]

@rfbuckey @InspiringPhilos Say it with your chest, Robert!

[Jon Rueger @jonrueger]

@rfbuckey @InspiringPhilos OK, I’m bored of the apologist script you’re trying to run, so let’s skip all the bullshit and why don’t you tell me what the upshot is?

Should the US institute an ethnic/religious test for entry into the country/citizenship? Should we bar all Muslims? Expel all Muslims?

[Jon Rueger @jonrueger]

@rfbuckey @InspiringPhilos Right. So they’re not commanded to kill Christians. They’re commanded to convert and/or tax them/force them to assimilate.

Are you really arguing that this is unique to Islam, historically?

Justin J. Pearson: “If the Republican Party is gonna be the party licking the boot of the billionaires who are taking our land, polluting our water, and taking our jobs, then let us be the party of the working class in rural, suburban, and urban America alike. If the Republican Party is gonna be the party of AI taking away our jobs, the party of corporate handouts and blank checks for foreign wars, let us be the party to deliver an increase to the minimum wage. Let us be the party to deliver universal healthcare”

@mtaibbi How is what you’ve said in any way contrary to what Zohran said?

He basically said “America is good, but it could be better…”

Like, why are you doing “well, actually” to that completely anodyne statement?

[Jon Rueger @jonrueger]

Good speech

@rfbuckey @InspiringPhilos But if you’re going to pose as the Quran-explainer, why don’t you tell me what “give the jizyah” means?

[Jon Rueger @jonrueger]

@rfbuckey @InspiringPhilos No, b/c I’m not God, or a scholar of the Bible/Quran; and I suspect you aren’t, either.

But I could very easily do what you’ve done: screengrab a Bible verse out of context (without so much as a chapter/verse cite) that seems, at face value, to justify killing unbelievers, yes.

[Jon Rueger @jonrueger]

@rfbuckey @InspiringPhilos Oh yeah? Based on whose interpretation of the text?

A YouTube apologist in 2026?

C’mon man. Be serious. Read some actual history.

[Jon Rueger @jonrueger]

@BishopBarron Old man yells at cloud; like, your sole appeal is to old, white conservatives and defenders of the status quo; your whole shtick is that “young folks don’t get it,” that people like you have nothing to learn.

Have fun with that! Keep it up!
