Quote:Pop quiz - what are the Three Pillars of atheism? No googleing around now... Seems to be rich Sheiks. Probably Wahabists from Saudi Arabia.
Possible, however unrelated to why atheists should silently let fucking idiots run rough-shod over the Earth. ISIS looks very much like a pure implementation of Islam, in all its vile, repugnant glory.
No, I pride myself on requiring evidence for any belief I may have. All the major religions are a cancerous blight on the planet. The world will be a better place without religious bullshittery.
And now, a Prophecy from JHC. LO! and Listen Up Yo! -- I see this thread quickly going Ark-orgy in a matter of a few pages.
May Mohamed be bathed in pigs blood and Jesus give blow jobs to all comers. Only $5!
You see, when you tell us NOT to blaspheme so-called sacred things, the BEST thing we can do, as a free society is to not be constrained by arbitrary, sensibilities.
Sorry my friend. Just ain't gonna happen. Specially round these parts.
I don't care what the pillars of atheism are. You understand that the United States and Russia have been vying for control in th Middle East since the start of the Cold War right? When Russia gained prominence, the United States funded and trained rebel groups to fight against the Russians and vice versa, all across the world. There was little talk of religious wars here, these were pure secular wars fought for control of the resources and power. All wars are thus.
Try reading the Quran you'll understand that the actions taken by ISIS are actually quite against its teachings. (At least in what I've read so far)
Ah the classical blame religion for all the problems in the world, the perfect scapegoat isn't it? After all how could humans ever be capable being of such malicious character by their own natural ignorance and stupidity?
Learn about Islam, talk with Muslims, before you presume to know about them. Have you done this? OR do you believe whatever the news tells you about these foreign people who live thousands of miles away from you whom you don't know anything about?
You're very narrow minded from what I can see, perhaps I am wrong, but at least I am not surprised or suffer from disappointment. After all... this is what I expected from my fellow atheists, pure ignorance.
