god strikes again

Praise him.

 

Nope, that was definitely a man firing the gun.....

 

....er, whats your point here, James?

 

Religion is frequently a spur, or at least an excuse, for mankind to do evil things in the name of god.

 

With infinite regret that would seem to be the case, yes.

 

Unless it's done in the name of one's Queen and country.​

 

this just about sums it up -

 

Not God though.

People have committed acts of vandalism and violence in Human Rights demos - does not mean Human Rights are wrong. Same applies to Animal Rights and any number of other valid campaigns ...... it is the misguided actions of individuals or groups of PEOPLE that is the problem more than the banner/cause/divinity they are following.

 

Well that video doesn't show shit...

and i'd not put staging anything past the USA to get the action they want.

 

yeah, but you can't deny it tho - religion is pure bullshit...

tho, I can understand why faiths started in the first place - they just don't have any place in this day and age imo...

 

The link is bad - it's to a story about some Taliban executing two Pakistani adulterers; nothing at all to do with a god.

 

Now that really is cynical 'Really Naughty People of Mass Destruction'? The government we've been backing for years won't do what we want? Got a few spare troops left over from the odd tired old war? Does anyone know if there's oil in them thar hills?

 

YES I CAN!!



I ve said befire it brings a lot of comfort to a lot of people.


(edit, sorry mr cat but i' ve nown many people to whome it brings comfort/direction and whateverelse.

Its certainly not my cup of tea but I don't think you can brand all beleivers with the same brush .......as the fanatical extremists. Many people I've nknown, you wouldn't guess they faith, Unless you've talked around the subject. Its fair enough IMO, horses for courses, each to their own etc)

 

Exactly.

 

It's hard to know where to start with this one!

First, animal rights aren't comparable with human rights. Second, human rights activists don't advocate summary execution for alleged adultery.

I don't think religion brought much in the way of "comfort" to this couple, David.

 

Well no, but like the police, there is always one rotten apple.

 

Neither did god - the Taleban did.

 

On what grounds?

David, if there's no apples, none can be rotten.

 

In what ways do you think they differ?

 

So, ban religion?
