false. "Then" refers to a subsequent action. "Than" is for comparison.

It's called Bad Religion.

I would have settled for no religion but still
[–]HotInThisBatman 1 point2 points3 points 13 hours ago
Third way: None of the other religions are really better than Islam, they just seem that way because the majority of their followers have enjoyed more of the benefits of liberal democracies and global capitalism.
[–]birdybirdman -2 points-1 points0 points 13 hours ago
agreement? islam<r/atheism

I agree with this sign, it is better to have no religion.
[–]CommonWaveSounds 0 points1 point2 points 11 hours ago
islam is better than no religion?
[–]renterjack 0 points1 point2 points 11 hours ago
And that's why punctuation is important.
[–]Gunner3210 0 points1 point2 points 11 hours ago
No religion is better than any religion.

I think the blurry words on the bottom of the sign are leaning in favor of Islam

I wonder if the Muslims and Islams know they're just as extreme as the Christians. If the sign us meant as 'Islam is better than the world' then he's no better than all of the Christians and Muslims who say the same thing. If his sign is meant as 'Islam is beneath religion' then he's at the wrong rally. I'd guess that he's pro-Islam and is the epitome of what he hates in other religions.
[–]polioman 0 points1 point2 points 9 hours ago
I'd love to believe that the guy did this on purpose.
[–]andrewpost 1 point2 points3 points 8 hours ago

Actually, there's only one way.

I'd say at least 3.
No religion is better than Islam.
Having no religion is a better alternative to Islam.
No religions are morally better then Islam
Islam is the best.

[–]asdfghjkl92 5 points6 points7 points 13 hours ago
The two interpretations i'm getting, and i'm pretty sure OP means, are:
'Islam is the best religion, or at least tied for best.'
and
'No religion (i.e. lack of religion, atheism etc.) is better than islam.'
is there some reason why the second interpretation is wrong that i'm missing?
[–]dorkrock2 0 points1 point2 points 10 hours ago
I think he was just trying to be a clever novelty account.
[–][deleted] 13 hours ago
[–]asdfghjkl92 3 points4 points5 points 13 hours ago
my point is, the person who wrote the sign wasn't considering not having a religion at all.
there's all other religions < islam (what the sign holder meant)
or
all other religions ≤ islam (the literal interpretation)
no religion (i.e. lack of religion) > islam (OPs interpretation, which wasn't even considered by the sign maker)
as far as i can see the last two interpretations are valid.
[–]SkatchyBrad 1 point2 points3 points 11 hours ago*
There are at least two legitimate ways of converting the English sentence "No religion is better than Islam." into first-order logical statements and those statements are not logically equivalent.
1) Let R be the set of all religions, let i be Islam and let x > y mean x is better than y: ∄r∈R | r > i, i.e. There does not exist a religion in the set of all religions such that said religion is better than Islam.
2) Let n be "no religion" or irreligion, let i be Islam and let x > y mean x is better than y: n > i, i.e. Irreligion is better than Islam.
Consider the following pieces of dialogue from different people in different situations:
Person A: "I know it's cold out and I am bare-chested, but I am not putting on that ugly cum-stained shirt: no shirt is better than that shirt!"
Person B: "Look at that subtle pinstriping. The tasteful width of the collar. Oh my God, it even has a monogram. It's official: no shirt is better than that shirt!"
Obviously Person A and Person B mean entirely different things by their statements "no shirt is better than that shirt!" Yet both are perfectly understandable English statements.
[–]alkoid 1 point2 points3 points 12 hours ago
I do not care about anyones imaginary friend. Believe what you want. There is no harm in general misguidedness. There is no harm in delusion. We all have our quircks. There is no harm untill we place ourselves above others for any reason. There is no harm untill we decide that something makes anyone else lesser then ourselves. When that happens, and all respect for others is lost for an idea, a belief, ideals. And we stop considering them to be human, then as a result we may nolonger consider ourselfs to be human either.
[–]Mattycore -15 points-14 points-13 points 14 hours ago
Look. More sand niggers for us to nuke.
[–]bastion72 3 points4 points5 points 13 hours ago
There's no need for that.
[–]Mattycore -9 points-8 points-7 points 13 hours ago
Why not? It's what they are. They're surrounded by sand and they're niggers which means ignorant, and they are, they're cutting people's heads off for "insulting the prophet" and we're the bad guys for making fun of them? Lolololol get real.
[–]birdybirdman 5 points6 points7 points 13 hours ago
u sound like an idiot.
[–]haxKingdom 2 points3 points4 points 13 hours ago
I just can't see Christian fundies as niggers. does that mean I'm racist?
[–]Mattycore -6 points-5 points-4 points 13 hours ago
Nah. And even if you are racist it's no different than the muslims for being intolerant of non-believers and people making fun of them. If anything I'd rather be racist then a person who goes around cutting people's heads off for disagreeing with me. Ya know?
[–]asdfghjkl92 1 point2 points3 points 10 hours ago
making fun of them is fine, nuking them is not. see the difference?
[–]Mattycore -4 points-3 points-2 points 10 hours ago
I see no difference! Nuke em!!! Muhahahaha
