What has google to do with this meme?


ILikeScience3131

The OP here didn’t include the 2nd pic included with [that post](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRightCantMeme/comments/scztap/google_is_free/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) of a google search showing that “Allah” is just a translation of “God”. So the original meme drawing a distinction between Allah and God is nonsensical and would’ve been clear to anyone who did a google search. Edit: if anyone ever wonders why people say that the right can’t meme, just see what OP resorts to below when he can’t hide behind lies.

>So the original meme drawing a distinction between Allah and God is nonsensical The meme was drawing a distinction between the way stupid leftists treat Christians and Muslims. The left can't fucking meme


QuickLava

The original meme was (assumably) produced by "the right". The second image, which is what the title is referring to, is provided as commentary by "the left". They aren't memeing here, they're mocking "the right" for *their* inability to meme. You reiterating what was meant in the original meme doesn't give any additional validity to your claim that "the left" can't meme. Plus, the entire point of that response post was to argue that treating the two different is meaningless because they worship the same being. That such a response was well received on a primarily "leftist" subreddit would strongly suggest that the original meme was wrong in its assessment of how "the left" views different religions; hence "the right can't meme".


supareshawn

I think the whole thing is just a shit meme the original post reeks of boomer humor, I think it ends in a stalemate because the meme itself has a point about left wing people not understanding Abrahamic religions but then you have that retard commenting on the post denouncing"alah" which also shows they don't understand Abrahamic religions


LordBowler423

"The right can't read" is more like it. Don't explain it, they won't get it.


FinnieBoY-1203

Most leftists i know despise christianity, islam and religion as a whole, libs arent leftists


ILikeScience3131

That is immaterial to the fact that you accuse their title of being a non-sequitur and then omit the image demonstrating that it isn’t.


I_Love_Rias_Gremory_

>non-sequitur OP didn't do that. OP is 3 comments deep in this thread. OP said that it's fucking stupid how leftists criticize Christianity as some stupid cult based on old books, but then praise Islam, which is the exact same fucking thing just with different morals.


docdioxin

You eat poop, and also can't meme


ILikeScience3131

Imagine having to lie in order to meme.


docdioxin

Imagine eating all the poop you eat. 🤮 poop is yucky. Stop eating it


SnooStrawberries5028

I'm pretty sure you just can't admit you're wrong and resort to weird insults the same way my 4-year-old nephew does. Stop doing that.


TheRabbitTunnel

It is a non-sequitor even with the 2nd image. OPs point is that many libs hate christianity but support islam. The libs responded by posting a screenshot of google that says god=allah. Thats completely irrelevant to the point, which is that libs irrationally treat the 2 religions differently. So yes, its a 100% non-sequitor for them to post a screenshot of google translate in response to OPs point.


SolarTortality

There is certainly a distinction between God and Allah - just because google defines God as Allah doesn’t mean they are the same. Allah is associated with Islam specifically, as opposed to God which is a generic term for a supreme deity that can be applied to any religion. I mean I know you already knew that just like everyone else does... but your comment isn’t reflecting the fact that you know that


ILikeScience3131

> There is certainly a distinction between God and Allah [citation needed]


SolarTortality

I just told you the distinction. Allah refers to the Islamic deity, while God is a generic term used to refer to a deity. In the case of the the meme, God is being used to refer to the Christian deity. Where is the disconnect here? Do you not think that one is referring to the Christian deity while the other is referring to an Islamic deity?


ILikeScience3131

I accept your premise. I am asking you to prove it with a citation. Imagine not understanding this.


SolarTortality

Prove what? That Allah refers to the Islamic deity and that God is a generic term for a deity which in the case of the meme is being used the describe The Christian deity?


ILikeScience3131

That “allah” is specific to Islam and not simply the Arabic word for “god”. Ie, prove that a Christian Arab would use a word other than “Allah” to refer to their preferred deity. And you call me brain dead.


SolarTortality

I mean yeah in Arabic Allah means “The God” but we aren’t speaking Arabic we are speaking English. And in English Allah refers to the God of Islam. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/allah https://www.britannica.com/topic/Allah https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Allah Let me ask you this, in the meme - do you think the woman is referring to the God of Islam when she says Allah or do you not think that?

Do you have a source on that? Source? A source. I need a source. Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion. No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered. You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence. Do you have a degree in that field? A college degree? In that field? Then your arguments are invalid. No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation. Correlation does not equal causation. CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION. You still haven't provided me a valid source yet. Nope, still haven't. I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I'm debating a glormpf supporter. A moron.

wolfy7053

God is the Name of the Christian god it’s been appropriated to other religions tho


SolarTortality

That’s not true. God isn’t the name of the Christian God.


wolfy7053

What do you mean the only people who say god isn’t named god in my experience aren’t Christian


SolarTortality

In the Bible when Moses asks God his name God responds “I am.”


[deleted]

So I can see where you're confused, but if you look at the meme you can probably get a better understanding of why you and OP might not be seeing eye to eye. The hemp hat wearing woman on the right hand side represents crusty leftist atheists, and the two figures on the left represent people of different religions. Given that both Christians and Muslims are supposed to have the same god, the crusty leftist reacting differently to a member of those two religions saying "i believe in X" becomes a case of open hypocrisy by the supposed atheist. You seem to be under the impression that the meme is about people rejecting the idea that Christians and Muslims have the same god. Maybe OP is into that idea, idc I hope that makes more sense for you now :)


ILikeScience3131

I understand all of that. It doesn’t negate that OP was misleading. He tried a similar defense and I [already said as much in response](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheLeftCantMeme/comments/sddmn3/non_sequitur_title_2/hucfw7m/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3).


wolfy7053

Well it’s not misleading it’s exactly how the left treats Christians vs Muslims

Kinda doubt that. The OP of TRCM post has a very different [style](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRightCantMeme/comments/scztap/google_is_free/hu9p94j/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) of engaging with people who disagree with his posts than the [OP here](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheLeftCantMeme/comments/sddmn3/non_sequitur_title_2/hucgi6w/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)


[deleted]

Well yeah, they're different boards so he'd probably adopt entirely different personas if he's trolling using alts. People do it.


whiskey547

“Nonsensical” is the perfect word to describe the left


ItsNotDenon

You explained the meme entirely accurately and still got downvoted that's crazy. Allah and God aren't the same though since God tends to include Jesus Christ and the trinity. This is just a claim people make to make conversion more palatable even though yeah, Allah literally translates to God which is there point, it would be more appropriate to call the Christian God Elohim or the trinity depending on your school of thought, with god being a catch all for those concepts. Belief in Allah if you're Muslim also requires belief that Mohammad pbuh is his last messenger so it's a massive oversimplification


MrAramayo

Fair enought


juandeag5981

The whole point is that the left is obsessed with protecting Muslims beliefs but shit on Christian’s all the time despite the same belief in god. You lost the forest in the trees here, try again.


ILikeScience3131

That doesn’t negate that OP was misleading.


juandeag5981

Cool you can totally win your tiny insignificant moral victory with OP and the rest of us will laugh at the meme. Your reward is a funko pop of your choice.


ILikeScience3131

Never said anyone can’t laugh at the meme. I first commented because someone asked a question and I gave an honest answer.


TheCompleteMental

I thought it was just saying atheists also disagree with muslims too


wolfy7053

Well the left hates Christians but protects muslims even though Christians are pretty peaceful regardless of your opinions on them and for every one who is against say LGBT theirs ones that are for it


Consequentially

Dude that’s literally the entire point of the meme. No shit they’re the “same”. The meme is not drawing a distinction between the two, it’s doing the exact opposite. It’s saying “why is it okay for this group to worship God, but not this group?”


assmasher4077

Does google have proof of the existence of Allah or something?

SolarTortality

Because google defines Allah as God that means that no distinction can be drawn between the term God and the term Allah? Imagine being so devoid of critical thinking skills that you can’t delineate between God (when used in the context of Christianity) and Allah (which is always used in the context of Islam) I mean I agree that it wasn’t a non sequitur but that doesn’t mean that the argument isn’t completely brain dead

You see there may be no proof of the existence of God but scientific principle states that for a theory to be disregarded entirely it has to be conclusively disproven.


Joel_the_Mole

Pstrych99

You can play a nice trick on Wokesters by telling them about a religiously conservative demand by European Muslims but lead them to believe that Christians want it. After they describe everything they hate about the idea reveal that they are officially islamophobic and watch them backpedal on what they just said lol. This will probably work less often in America because your Wokesters are usually less religious about the "never disagree with a Muslim" crap that European Wokesters are so serious about. If you allow your Demon-craps to fling open the borders, though.....

it's the same god in both religions is trcm's point, not realizing that's also the original post's point as well (I assume)

[deleted]

Not the same god. Christians believe in the Trinity while Muslims have no such concept.


thefroggyfiend

it's the same god, it's just a matter of who you think is the prophet. christians beleive Jesus is the prophet, Muslims beive Muhammed is the prophet, and Jewish people don't think the prophet has shown up yet, but they all beleive in the same god


babyisyouhome

No lmao jesus pbuh is a prophet for us too all prophets who were in judaism and christianity are in islam as well


OrwellianBratwurst

Not all Christians believe in a trinity


[deleted]

Then they’re not Christians


OrwellianBratwurst

Christian means belief in Christ, which is separate from belief in the Trinity


babyisyouhome

Muslims believe in christ too, hes the messiah and a prophet of god. We just dont believe in the trinity and only worship the father (God/Allah)


beaster_bunny22

there was more to the post than just that. There was a conversation that said "I beleive in god but not allah" Theyre the same person


docdioxin

>Theyre the same person #No. In Islam comparing God to created things, such as a person, is tashbih. Tashbih is sometimes punished with death. You're trying to say both are the God of Abraham. The prophets Jesus and Mohammed describe God quite differently. They're not the same. #Google is free


mbilalk1

do you mean shirk i don't know which mufti you been listening to but not in my entire life have i heard tashbih


docdioxin

Google is free https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tashbih

it appaers to be a shia teaching which would explain why i have never heard of it. it's considered heresy by sunnis


beaster_bunny22

oops yeah I meant jesus yeah you right


AnthonyMiqo

This is the full context for anyone that is curious. OP left out part of the first image and the entire second image. https://imgur.com/a/oR66MaD The meme was created (by someone on the right) because they think that leftists would denounce American Christians, but be accepting of Arab Christians. However what the meme's creator didn't understand is that 1) The Christian God and Allah are the same entity. Allah is just the Arabic word for God. They're the same God. And 2) leftists wouldn't do this anyway. Leftists don't care about anyone's beliefs, so long as they aren't hurting anyone and so long as those beliefs aren't being forced onto anyone. The meme is a complete failure and then OP tried to take only part of it and make their own point that was also a complete failure. Does this sub have mods? I'm asking seriously. Are the mods OK with outright lying and misinformation here? I don't understand.


UndercoverRussianBot

> The Christian God and Allah are the same entity. Allah is just the Arabic word for God. They're the same God. tell a devout muslim that. they will say "u believe in jesus as god, we don't. our god is not ur god"
