Yeah, I’m supposed to believe that devout Muslim “extremists” injected themselves with LSD and speed to carry out the attacks (as opposed to doing out of reverence for Allah).

I do believe however, that it was used to aggravate tensions between the two countries. And I do believe that they were coached. I do believe that the only way to get these dudes to do that horror was to get ‘em all “jacked up”.

Mission Accomplished.

And maybe a “good christian” woman doesn’t blow herself up. But I’ve known of many that don’t mind cheating on their husband’s or drowning their own children.

A little more education for the resident nitwits.

Jesus WEPT!

Why label everything as a religion? Do they think it makes them and their wacked out religions look better?

When Christopher Hitchens observes that, “Religion is violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism and tribalism and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children,” he is both right and wrong.

Hitchens is right because humankind is sinful and selfish. Indeed, I believe it was G.K. Chesterton who said that the one Christian doctrine that was demonstrably provable, even to casual observers, was the sinfulness and depravity of man. Thus, human expressions of the religious impulse will inevitably produce some religious practices and beliefs that would fit Hitchens’ rather grim description.

Human history is replete with such flawed expressions of religious faith.

However, this would be true of all secular philosophies and ideologies as well. Three of the most heinous and barbaric ideologies, which produced the greatest cruelties and violations of humanity in the 20th century, were fascism, Nazism and communism—all secular.

Hitchens is wrong in that he condemns all religious expression to the category of such violent and negative expressions. Many of the noblest expressions of humanity throughout the centuries have been performed in the name of religion.

One thinks of William Wilberforce and his long campaign to end the slave trade in the British Empire. Both the British and American abolitionist movements were founded, nurtured, financed and led to victory against the horrific evil of slavery by people who were most often inspired and motivated by deep religious conviction.

The great social reform movements of the last half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century (child labor reform, etc.) were often led by people of deep religious faith, Protestant and Catholic.

And of course, in the lifetime of many of us who were born in the last half of the 20th century, the most successful and greatest reform movement was the civil rights revolution, led by a Baptist minister, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who often said that the movement and the faith that inspired it could not be separated.

As many will remember, the civil rights revolution was supported by and led to victory in large part because of the leadership of clergy, black and white.

Lastly, one is led to ask Mr. Hitchens some questions. Where are the great atheist-sponsored charitable and reform movements? Where are the atheist children homes and orphanages? Where are the atheist leaders who are taking vows of poverty and giving themselves in sacrificial service to others? As Arthur C. Brooks, professor at Syracuse University, points out in his recent book, Who Really Cares? (2006): Religious people are far more generous with their own time and money than secularists. Brooks concludes, “Religious folks are by far the most charitable people in America today.”

Educate yourselves about these folks.

The fact that you wingnuts have to attack her and say really mean things about her just shows what nitwit bullies you are.

Pick on someone your own size. Like JR or I.

Linda doesnt deserve it.

Oh yeah, and she didnt ask me to defend her or call or email me to come here….

BIG effin’ eye roll.

And dadman Atheism is a religon as much as not collecting stamps is a hobby, and nothing stops socialists from being religoous last I checked the Catholic Worker is still published. Nothing prevents environmentalists and humanists from being religious also. And Last I checked Unitarians and New Agers are religions, in fact Unitarians fall under the umbrella of Christianity

“Sorry Linda .. you’re wrong again .. I don’t hate anyone .. I just see them for what they believe and what their adgenda is .. it’s better than sticking my head in the sand and minimizing and making excuses for them [ like you ]..”

Well first off, I’ve NEVER seen Linda defend, minimize or make excuses for muslim extremists. If you have a link, post it.

And secondly, “I just see them for what they believe and what their adgenda is”.

The same could be said for many of us here, not Linda necessarily, but others of us, about the christianists too.

Pot. Kettle. etc….

Sorry Linda .. you’re wrong again .. I don’t hate anyone .. I just see them for what they believe and what their adgenda is .. it’s better than sticking my head in the sand and minimizing and making excuses for them [ like you ].. especially when they are exercising the dictates of their religion = world conquest and domination and the total elimination of a UN-MEMBER NATION STATE Israel .. have you compared the amount of land that the Arabs own compared to that of the Jews ?? . . . . very telling

Religion of “peace” indeed

Have you ever met a Mennonite or Amish person. Talk with them about peace and violence. Your statement isn’t correct.

Now she wants to buy the boxed set.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Another convert….

Or any religion for that matter?

Sky gods are sky gods, no matter what the flavor.

As usual, the answer is found in the Gospel According To John Prine.

“Pretty good, not bad, I cant complain. But actually, all them gods are just about the same”.

“Quran (Sura=chapter) 8:12
I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike”

dadman, if you want to hate an entire group of people for what one sentence (taken out of context) says in their book, go right ahead. That’s your decision.

—————-

Do whatever you choose. It isn’t for me to decide what you do, think, or how you act.

“progressives etc etc .. are just as ‘religious’ ”

You can argue that. But atheists don’t try to make the world function within the parameters of an old book.
========================
Atheists just invoke Freudian analogy into a sleuth of cow pie and rotted fish menagerie.
