No, you're not. Lefty atheists are allowed to discuss whatever, whenever. Others - they're insensitive bastards if they do the same.

You must not do much reading outside your own posts. 

WE "lefties" criticizes any and ALL religions, including Islam. FYI you keep saying "lefty" like we should be ashamed. Yea you can say what you want, but stop whining like a crybaby when you don't like our responses.

Muslims use religion to justify violence? NO SHIT SHERLOCK!  So has every fucking religion in the world.

You're missing the point. When someone kills with guns and you go on an anti-gun diatribe, people generally don't criticize you for using a tragedy for political purposes. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy.

Yeah, it was done in the name of isis.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I'd suggest that you believe this because you just don't follow the posts, Alpha.  I love giving Brian shit for his gun control diatribes, personally.  In any case, what's this appeal to hypocrisy supposed to inform us of...that both the right and the left are wrong when they politicize tragedy...or?

One of your nazi brethren used a car to kill a peaceful protester in Charlottesville.  Where were your "ban the cars" analogies then?

And don't pretend that he was some sort of anomaly:

Quote:These states have introduced bills to protect drivers who run over protesters

Guess what?  Every one of these bills was introduced by a republicunt legislator.  But then, you already knew that.

It's different when a muslim does it.  Hell, a white guy can gun down 600 country music fans and that's fine.  No problem letting him buy all the guns and ammo he wants.  We are so uptight about who kills us.

More news on the attack:

Quote:[Image: Sayfullo-Saipov-Mugshot-1-800x430.jpg]

The suspected truck attacker now in custody after killing eight people injuring nearly a dozen more in lower Manhattan Tuesday afternoon was reportedly bragging about the attack while recovering from a gunshot wound in the hospital.
