True to an extent Luv. However when the finger is being pointed at you in some form or another then you have to respond no matter where you are. If the result of this atrocity had not resulted in my faith being brought into question I would also have just paid my condolences and be gone...however I got tapped on the shoulder, so turned around and responded. The whole country is talking about this, not just on here.
I'm annoyed with myself for getting into it. It's really horrible that this thread has turned into religion bashing. I'm out. Think before posting.
Turns out the imam and others had "shopped" this guy for having radical leanings and nothing was done All those saying its up to Muslims what say you now?
Shut up you knobhead..crack on with your faith..like anyone gives a **** whether you believe in what I believe in. You want to learn? Then get off your arse and learn. I've got kids, I don't need ****ers like you to educate. Cheeky bastard.
I'm sure that goes down a treat at parties. It's a tad dull of you to post it on here, but it's a free country.
I'll probably regret getting involved but why not just answer his question of whether you're an atheist or not rather than trying to turn the thread into the DMD show?
**** off you touchy tart. I'll keep talking and ignore your 'advice' about 'shutting up'. As for the education, I do a fair amount to find out before forming an opinion. Have you studied all the religions and gods you're rejecting?.
It's what he does, there's no listening or considering its just his opinion and a lecture on it. He's not the only one, it's a sickness in the modern world that it's built into many. We no longer listen and learn, we no longer wonder if. We no longer look for a solution. We just pick a side and stick with it.
Others (like you generally do) have already turned it into the DMD show, but to save you bleating on and on and on...oh, hang on, it won't will it... The reason I don't answer, is it's not a yes or no reply, as 'atheism' can mean different things to different people, as can 'god'. If he's asking if I have a lack of belief in gods, then no, and therefore I'm not an atheist, although I've yet to find one that meets the definition set by its followers, which to some makes me an atheist.
Perhaps if you offered an argument on the topic, rather than ****e ad hominems, it'd perhaps go further. You are closer to that critique of yours than I am.
Perhaps it's just who I was replying to. You seem to see 'more complete' as ****yish, but then you are a very dull and limited person.
The nature of the incident was always going to raise the issue of Islamic extremism again, so I can see why it's being discussed on here. But I have to say, that some of the comments on here have got me banging my head against a brick wall, with their sweeping generalisations and lazy acceptance of soundbites and cliches about Islam. They are as blinkered as saying that, because of the Crusaders, all Christians are barbarians, hell bent on wiping out anybody who doesn't follow their faith. Or that because some Catholic priests abused children, all Catholics must be *****philes. Then there is the complete refusal from some to see the issue of extremism (not just limited to Islamic extremism) in the wider context of world affairs and how each part of the geopolitical, corporate war machine creates more and more disparate peoples, who then have an axe to grind against the perpetrators. And in microcosm in the UK, why young men of ethnicity, feel totally disenfranchised with the status quo that demonises them, and blames them for society's problems.
