If people can't be protected from religious nut cases killing them and their children on an almost weekly basis they will elect people who will. You think the people of the UK will be falling over themselves to let more Muslim migrants in after the events of this summer?
I think we have to accept that the Duncan integration experiment has failed and it's time he was returned to his unnatural habitat.
You are entitled to your opinion but others wont agree with it. Believers don't believe we just simply existed from nothing, religion is the guide for those who believe you may not agree but that is your choice. As for no place for religion leading governments and policy decision again that's your opinion but there are lots of people that will disagree with on this in various countries. As for morals who dictates morals, where does it come from and who decides which is morally right or wrong, if you are going to debate that there is many holes in your argument and its more of a philosophical argument than scientific one, because reasoning, right/wrong, love, emotions, anger, hate and so on is an philosophical/theological debate not a scientific one for those that argue science is the answer has no real answers for it, some of it they put down to chemical reaction or deem it not be important... just because people advanced technologically doesn't mean all of sudden they have become more intelligent with all the answers..
I do question someone that needs to get their morals from a book, that offers threats of hell and promises of heaven to enforce its way, rather than someone that does what is moraly right, because that's what they truly believe. Any almighty must be a bit gullible if he can't see the difference between the two, and see which has the purer heart.
Here's a little analogy for you guys. A McDonalds manager we'll call him Mr Khan has a customer fall over and break their neck. He is asked to explain this to his higher ups and customers. If he has people falling and injuring themselves on an almost weekly basis he is ultimately responsible.
Yeah because Mr Khan can stop some random lunatic from Wales from hiring a van and mowing people down with it. Or doesn't that count as he was a honky?
Atheism is NOT a religion in the same way that "not collecting stamps" is not a hobby. Some asshats treat their atheism like religion, and tosspots like Dawkins is like a fundamentalist one of them; that doesn't make atheism a religion though. It simply means some atheists are twats.
I'm sure plenty of people do disagree and think religion should have a role in policy making. I think they are wrong. Policy should be formed through looking at the evidence available and making the best decision possible. Not making law based on what a religion says. As for morals, they adjust with social changes. As we become more socially advanced our morals change. But what we perceive as right and wrong shouldn't be dictated by a religion but by personal experience and social factors. And the more advanced we get the more answers we have.. that's pretty much accepted isn't it?
And some **** bashes assaults someone else outside a pub every night. Violence is violence and it is all bad. We just pay way too much attention to terrorist attacks (which is exactly what they want). Youre still much more likely to get killed by some white man who wants your wallet than you are someone from Syria who hates that you're not a Muslim.
He was born in Singapore and I have no idea if he was a honky. Looked Greek to me but that could have been the moustache.
