As an atheist, what angers you?

[ApeNotKillApe]

I never said you shouldn't be, enjoy it all you want, it's none of my business how you get your jollies. I'm just wondering what makes your enjoyment of someone's suffering any different from that of the person you're exacting revenge upon. How does sadism become acceptable when it's done for the sake of revenge?

Ah, believe me I never enjoy the blood and guts. But you will feel what I feel if you lived in Egypt for example.

Have you heard about this story?

We -Middle Eastern people- live in this hell. You never saw Egyptian police, you never experienced the horror of being harassed on a checkpoint under the threat of a gun barrel, knowing that if you ever talk, you'll get tortured, killed, and probably your family will get hurt too.

There's even one of that society, who advertised the butchering of all Egyptian Muslims, he preached that on this forum; and guess what: many like him are already in the army, cops, have weapons, they torture, they kill.


No..I don't enjoy the details..I enjoy the feeling of avanging the fallen.
Giulio regeni seems like a decent guy..I knew a British guy in Egypt who was interested in politics too..I hate to see him thrown dead like this..

My kin die everyday like this..

I can't explain it..but believe me, it's mostly just a defense mechanism.

But you weren't talking about avenging the fallen of some particular political conflict, you were talking about how you're upset by the idea that people you consider immoral aren't subjected to an eternity of conscious torment.
