Fuck off Brian! Nobody tossed aside our common humanity, except for the individual ass-hat that committed the crime. "...by theists as if they are the only ones who suffer.". What pastiche sense of nonsense is this? I haven't read anywhwere, not even on AF, where a theist has proclaimed that this particular tragedy can only be empathized with by those who have a resolute belief in the God of Abraham. If by this you are exclaiming to be an atheist cause martyr, I will be first in line with a rusty nail and a wooden spoon to drive it.
Unsubstantiated bullshit = poet's preogative; I suppose.
I have yet to hear any 'God talk' on this matter. I have heard several calls to prayer. Although I think prayer is misplaced and ineffectual, I do understand why some resort to this considering what happened. Prayer, in this instance, is simply the means with which the devout extend the natural human emotion of empathy.
