QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Nov 14 2015, 06:17 PM) Nothing you can say really. Its just a matter of time before it is London.
I won't "pray for Paris" though as "religion" is the reason all the people died.
Let's knock all the churches, mosques, synagogues, temple's down.
Amazing that in the 21st century where we have literally all the knowledge that our forefathers could not even comprehend to understand that people still believe in a "supreme being"
Anyone who still has this point of view deserves to be treated for a mild form of psychosis. Saying that religions is the cause is just plain inaccurate.

I guess they were just misguided. I'm just waiting for the Islam is a peaceful religion diatribe to start. It's a bit like saying all Catholic priests are innocent of paedophillia.

Frankly, you are simply displaying exactly the same dogmatic attitude as those you criticise. Were World War 1 or World War 2 started for religious reasons? I suspect Gordon Brown would have have had a bad press day if ever he'd met you! (Deleted)

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Nov 15 2015, 01:06 AM) NO! It does not. Try to give the deaths of 130 people at least 24 hours before trying to score petty keyboard points please. I apologise, but can we please not respond to blind intolerant hatred with yet more blind intolerant hatred.

The difference in religious beliefs is usually just coincidental. The attacks in Paris weren't because we're Christian an they're Muslims. It's to do with Israel and Palestine, the Gulf wars, the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and air at racks in Syria. And those invasions were largely because of oil, not because the inhabitants were muslims. It's a whole range of reasons. Basically, you are just wrong.

Basically, you are just wrong. What was the name of the terrorist outfit that carried out the attack?

If you will persist in your simplified and ignorant view there's not much point in debating. Let's be honest, anyone that takes the view that a believer in God is psychotic is beyond help. I speak as an atheist incidentally.

QUOTE (user23 @ Nov 15 2015, 09:06 AM) Disappointing that the other terrorist attacks this week have received hardly any coverage in the mainstream media. It can't be helped that they are geographically far away and terrorist attacks much less newsworthy there. I do take your point though.

Calling me beyond help and simple and ignorant is in my opinion quite wrong. Sometimes the answers are simple. You did not answer the question.
