Answered your own question there, mon ami.
Very true!
If this deity were real, don't you think he'd show up and say, "What the fuck is the matter with you people?!?! You run around killing innocents and use my name like I told you to do so? Cut the shit out! NOW!"
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

Sadly it took TheOnion to do what you say...because there is no god who will do it.

Quote:"Look, I don't know, maybe I haven't made myself completely clear, so for the record, here it is again," said the Lord, His divine face betraying visible emotion during a press conference near the site of the fallen Twin Towers. "Somehow, people keep coming up with the idea that I want them to kill their neighbor. Well, I don't. And to be honest, I'm really getting sick and tired of it. Get it straight. Not only do I not want anybody to kill anyone, but I specifically commanded you not to, in really simple terms that anybody ought to be able to understand."
God is just a weapon for the ignorant to use against people they hate.

In the UK, even the christians generally oppose blasphemy laws. The thinking is that God's perfectly capable of dealing with blasphemers himself.

Also I think in breach of Sharia law; I think the Qur'an protects the feeble minded. Also pretty sure Muslims believe the feeble minded automatically go to heaven. I'm sure Rayaan will correct me if I am mistaken.

Quote:Pakistani police have arrested a mentally disabled 11-year-old girl after a mob accused her of desecrating pages of the Koran.
The mob demanded the Christian girl's arrest and threatened to burn down Christian homes outside the capital Islamabad, local media say.
Officials said the girl could not properly answer police questions.
Her parents have been taken into protective custody following threats and other Christian families have fled.
It is thought that the girl has Down's syndrome.
Nice one, Pakistan. You are currently winning at being retarded.
If you ask me, the story stinks to high heaven. I'm not saying that it couldn't be true, nor defending the actions of the government.
However, I find it really hard to believe that people would actually find a mentally disabled girl that conveniantly carries torn down pages of the Koran in a waste bag. And since it was stated that the girl was from a christan family, I'd suppose that it's more believable if she had pages from the bible in that waste bag, unless someone gave her a copy of the Koran, told her to tear pages of it, and place them in trash, walk around, and be spotted by moslems, and then get arrested.
Quote:This infuriated some local people and a large crowd gathered to demand action against her
I wonder who these "local people" are(and how they came to know that there were pages of the Koran in the waste bag). Well, I believe this whole thing is staged. I don't know who staged it, but someone did.

Does seem a bit fishy when you put it that way.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
