If its ok for Ann Coulter to say "Jews need to be perfected" then?

Question

Is it ok for me to say Christians need to have their critical thinking skills perfected?

Betty- yes I am Jewish, and I do not find what Coulter said offensive, just moronic.

Answer 1

all religious people do

Answer 2

I think it's fine for her to express her opinions; at least she is honest. I know that not all Christians feel the way she does, but I also know some do!

More than anything, Coulter's remarks were patronising and arrogant. She made a fool of herself every time she opened her mouth.

Interestingly, I'm pretty sure that if a Jew appeared on national TV in any country, and spoke equally condescendingly of other faiths, there would be an uproar.

But of course that would not happen because we Jews are taught that all people are equal and that we must respect others' religious beliefs.

Pity Ann Coulter doesn't feel the same need to respect our religion.

Answer 3

As a Jew, you should not succumb to the fallacy of relativism. For example, God gave Moses 10 commandments, not 10 recommendations and not 10 personal suggestions.

In other words, right and wrong are absolute. There is no such thing as what is right for you versus what is right for someone else. Certainly, what is right is not determined in comparison to someone else's behavior.

Another thing you should be careful about is projecting authority. Ann Coulter does not speak on behalf of Christians and more than you are a spokesperson for all Jews.

OK. Why do I bother to say this? I point out these intellectual flaws because I see you are a thinking person who cares about important things. I want you to have intellectual credibility. When people say stupid things, don't say stupid things back. Think. Use your intellect to undo them.

Answer 4

No- it's not all right for you to say that. It's all right for you to say that Ann Coulter needs to have her critical thinking skills perfected though.

Answer 5

Sure. I think that it is totally fair to throw crazy stuff out there just to stir the pot. I wish that someone on the 'left' or a Jew would get on TV and start spouting on a similar level to what Coulter did. I think it would point out how absolutely ridiculous 'she' is.

Answer 6

Question for you.... When was any political party responsible for the inane mutterings of any of its members.... You can compile a long list of "stupid" remarks from members of both political parties.... they are responsible for their individual actions Clinton was an accused RAPIST....that does not mean all Democrats abuse women Ann Coulter is a publicity whore.... she wants you to get upset and talk about her..... for me she is a Republican "Chihuahua" snapping at everyone's ankles trying to get attention and book sales.....and I am a conservative BTW like the proverbial "blind pig' she does every once in awhile find a "truffle"

Answer 7

You could say that, or you could just that "Ann Coulter needs to be perfected". She is a publicity whore, she will say anything for the shock and just to get attention. Maybe her mama didn't love her.

Answer 8

There is a little moronic thinking in what you think too..You have bought into the same thinking we get from atheists...that because we do not believe like you, we are somehow lacking in your critical thinking skills....Hogwash!..You did exactly the same thing Ann Coulter did.....you insulted someone of another faith because you could..

Answer 9

Yes, in both cases the utterances are protected by the guarantees of free speech. However, that guarantee does not assure the speaker that such utterances they make are going to be viewed as reasonable or intelligent by people who hear them, nor does it prevent the people who hear those utterances from expressing whatever opinions they may have.

Answer 10

Yes, that's okay for you to say.

It is also okay for you to call Ann Coulter a cross dressing man, which she is.

Answer 11

I've stopped paying attention to what Ann Coulter says b/c she always says stupid stuff like that.
