Was it Muslims? Could the Christian God have ever ordered his people to carry out such an atrocity?

Murderers did it.

You don't seem to understand there is a religious war going on ever since Islam started, that's HOW they started, with warfare to conquer other people and force their sick religion on the populations around the world as they conquered. Funny, it sounds just like Christianity.

Originally posted by ahosyneyI understand when people are oppressed and apologists abound. Don't worry, I am not attacking JUST Islam, I think Christianity is just as filthy.

Originally posted by twhiteheadI wonder if I am the only one who, over time, has noticed how consistently you defend various religionists (with whom you disagree on virtually everything) from what you see as the prejudices of both other religionists and non-religionists as well…
Here in Southern Africa we have a problem in the shape of Robert Mugabe and his supporters. What is interesting is that despite the country being torn apart politically economically etc etc, there has not been one single suicide bombing that I have heard of.
Whether one agrees with sonhouse or Ahosyney or KellyJay or whoever, on merits (which I am not addressing at all here!), surely it’s time that someone publicly recognizse your integrity on this point?
Originally posted by vistesdI think he is saying the attacks are coming from different motives than religious, like basic thuggery, the baddest dude on the block and I will kill you if you think you can beat me. As opposed to a person who feels he has a god given mandate to kill those of other religions or even those of other branches of his own religion. BTW, I rale against extremists of all religion and rale against organized religions in general, I have no problem with the poor duped souls who are systematically oppressed by their religions and are as much victims as the victims of suicide bombers. They are simply players in the 2000 year old con game of manmade religions of death like christianity and islam. I would give my life for there to be a virus spread around by birds or some such that brought religious people to their senses and to the realization they have been had and can leave at any time, apostasy laws or no.
