thanks for the clarification.

insulting a company (or whatever Uber actually is) certainly isn't the same as insulting members of a religious minority.

you do understand that you are getting personal "in the name of the law" here, yes?

you are getting involved in something that doesn't concern you directly at all, but the only arguments you bring up are against me personally, and have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

this is harrassment.

I'm sorry, no! Amish, or anyone else who chooses to believe, or disbelieve in anything is not "a minority".
If a person chooses to be part of a religion that is their choice and something they can control. Unless, of course, you're suggesting that the Amish are some kind of brainwashed cult who can't think for themselves? In which case, even more reason for criticism.

hold your horses.
the sole point is that i misunderstood the meaning of syg00's post (or so i think; their only clarification so far was 'huh?').
i don't know much about the amish, but i do believe it is a sort of christian religion (i believe this is called a "church", or even a "sect", but without the negative connotations), and the majority of US americans are NOT amish?
calling something/someone a minority is not an insult, it's a simple statement of fact.
if i did get the facts wrong, i do apologise.

Your original reading supposes we're discussing the Amish guy suing Uber for... something? That's pretty absurd, and obviously not what syg00 meant.

I think what 273 is trying to get at, is that religion is a concious choice (unlike skin colour), so it shouldn't be off-side to criticize everyone who chooses a particular religion.

I think the reality is a bit fuzzier than this black & white, brainwashed vs choice situation you are presenting. But perhaps we should continue the discussion in the religion thread?

You understood my point, thank you. I'll not post any more as I realise it's off topic and I've managed to explain myself.

Moderator note:

Dear members,
Misunderstandings can happen. However, we have our rules and everyone should follow them. The rules include:

no, that's not what my original reading supposes, and therefore it is not absurd.
it was a simple misreading/misunderstanding; please scroll back and read again all the helpful replies that followed.
syg00 has chosen not to react so far, so we won't be able to ascertain what their original meaning was, but my guess is that i simply misunderstood.

the rest of your & 273's reasoning is beyond me; saying "religious minority" is not demeaning or insulting or discriminating or even "politically incorrect" in any way.
now before this thread gets merged into the religion mega thread, i will just shut up.

Looks nice haha! I'd want to surprise someone with this "uber" for sure XD
