what's funny is i have already proven factually that religion is delusional, but one post i created to explain where all the violence stems from and why, leaves all religious people speechless because it is so dead on. i figured since the cat had religious people's tongue, i would bail you out.
every religion and the mass delusion it causes is directly related to this violence we see today and has been going on forever. my God is better than your God. the saddest part of the story is that there is no God. not one. all this violence for made up things. how sad we don't learn our lessons and our facts. and don't forget the judgement and discrimination religion brings to the table. mass delusion is always bad. how do you stop brainwashed people from creating separation in the world when sane and rational people could bring people together. just make sure they aren't gay because that would ruin everything. don't complain about Muslim violence when you condemn a gay person to a place that doesn't exist, hell.
anybody connecting the dots or are you different from all the other delusional religious people??? your way is OK, but those other guys are crazy. guess what, you are all insane.

Salman Rushdie is the latest figure to publicly respond to Wednesday’s attacks on Paris’ satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo which left 12 dead.
In the statement, published on the website for English PEN, an organization that promotes freedom of speech, Rushdie not only condemns the shooting, but religion as a whole.
“Religion, a mediaeval form of unreason, when combined with modern weaponry becomes a real threat to our freedoms,” he wrote. “This religious totalitarianism has caused a deadly mutation in the heart of Islam and we see the tragic consequences in Paris today.”
Rushdie expresses his support for the publication and calls for the defense of satire, “which has always been a force for liberty and against tyranny, dishonesty and stupidity.”
The author and his work garnered international attention when Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini placed a fatwa on his head following the 1988 publication of “The Satanic Verses.”
“‘Respect for religion’ has become a code phrase meaning ‘fear of religion,’” he concluded. “Religions, like all other ideas, deserve criticism, satire, and, yes, our fearless disrespect.”

I don't know if anyone gives a rat ass about his "respect" for any religion. If anything, people respect his right to exercise freedom of speech. He can mock every religion without fear to get killed except Islam. But I can see where you're going from here. I guess every religion now should be held responsible for Paris shootout right? And don't hold back Guesser, you're a few posts away from proposing a complete "banning" all religion.
Charlie Hebdo Suspects Said to Take Hostage; 2nd Hostage-Taking Also Unfolds
PARIS — Hundreds of French security forces have converged on an industrial park in a town northeast of Paris where two suspects in Wednesday’s terrorist attack in central Paris appear to be barricaded with at least one hostage at a printing business, the authorities said. A police official said the suspects told negotiators they intended to “die as martyrs.”
As that drama was playing out about 30 miles northeast of Paris, the police responded in force to reports of a shooting and possible hostage-taking at a kosher supermarket near the Porte de Vincennes, on the eastern edge of Paris.

[h=1]Britain's MI5 chief warns al Qaeda in Syria planning mass attacks on West[/h]A group of core al Qaeda terrorists in Syria is planning mass casualty attacks against the West," Director General Parker said in a rare public speech at MI5 headquarters in London. His last public speech was in October 2013.
In the speech, planned before the killings in Paris, Parker said seasoned al Qaeda militants in Syria aimed to "cause large-scale loss of life, often by attacking transport systems or iconic targets" in the West.

Funny how since so many of these people are "moderate" there is an endless stream of new recruits.
I guess when a couple hundred, or thousand, people are blown to bits their families can rest assured that enfuego met a few nice Muslims. Oh, and guesser thinks the bible is violent. That will help the grieving process.

were you angry when posting this? Believers are insane? "God" doesn't make sense to you. NO physical evidence it exists, you're correct. Either one believes or doesn't. That being said, it's 'existence' does bring peace to many. Religion appears to help many; providing a path to follow, an aid in moments of weakness/despair, strength,.......... spirituality . It's a NEED for many. Want to call the believers ' weak'? insane?--what does that say about you?
Do you honestly think Obama would ever say anything detrimental to the Muslim reactionaries. After all Obama claims the 'most beautiful sound he ever heard was a call to Muslim prayer. He's promoted Muslims to high office in government, schooled in Islamic Madrasa's.
My guess is prayer rugs abound in the white house.

i am sure you are a mindless sheep who tries to argue proven fact. believe everything you are told. it all makes perfect sense, even devoid of any proof.
religion is cultural. your religion is mainly determined by where you were born. anything cultural is man made. God didn't make man, man made him to control people. ask someone with 3rd grade level intelligence to explain it to you.
it says i don't have to rely on man made fairytale characters to get through life. religion has been good for man???? not a student of history or the present i see. if you are told one of the most outrageous story that defies physics, logic, common sense, has not a shred of evidence and you don't question it, you are insane. if you did your research you would know that the story of Jesus is a direct copy of 50 mythical sun gods that predate his supposed birth. a direct copy. but that wouldn't make you think about it more. of course not. just stay with the cult.
