Having what one considers shitty arguments doesn't make someone a fraud.

I know. I think it's pretty much spot-on.

Aye, that's what people with nice, shiny assertions tend to think as they dictate reality via their opinions.

Is a PhD in the sociology of religion the same as a PhD in the history of Western religions? That is a genuine question. I really don't know if they could be the same or not.

No, I wouldn't say that his PhD is in "the history of Western Religion". But I also wouldn't say that an oversimplified message in a Twitter discussion with an idiot is "academic fraud".

Is this @matanlurey person a well known idiot on Twitter?

Agreed, not academic fraud. Perhaps a more accurate term would be "chest-thumping misrepresentation."
Serious, but not entirely serious.

Everyone is an idiot on Twitter. It's a natural law.

Yes. It's almost as if a different person posts his tweets. I guess the 140 character limitation does that to people, or it is at least a contributing factor.

How come Reza Aslan is fired from his job when he's right for once? I mean, Reza Aslan is a grade A asshat, liar and general fucktard, but this time he was absolutely right. Why didn't all his lies and bullshit in the past get him in trouble, but speaking the truth did? Fucked up.

What truth was he speaking? He said:
He got paid by CNN and apparently they were not happy with his conduct. He can post it here because Mr Trump is not member here.
This piece of shit is not just an embarrassment to America and a stain on the presidency. He's an embarrassment to humankind.

It must've always been the right kind of lies and bullshit.
