Thank you Smile

Yeah, I didn't take the story down, it's all still there in it's wonderful glory. I have just put a warning message on the page of the nature of the content. The comment did make me think of kids reading it, or very easily offended adults. If they ignore it and go ahead and read anyway, they can tell it to the captain except they'll be in the sea Walk the plank!

I have aimed to try and get theists to at least read through some of my site before dismissing what "you atheists" have to say by not openly slagging them off in my analysis. I hope I have succeeded! It would be great if just one theist in the world somewhere read what I wrote and stopped to think about their beliefs seriously.

You're right, we should all come together to accept an accident for what it is and to offer condolences or to see if such things can be avoided in the future. Talking about deaths like it's a wonderful thing, a miracle that one didn't die, is fucking shameful.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.

The churches should learn from the GermanWings incident, DON'T TRUST A MENTALLY ILL CO-PILOT!

Idiots, idiots everwhere.

Tragic, and I'll bet there will be no consequences for the church.

Actually, the church will probably gain members as the funerals and memorials bring in compassionate people who get caught up in the emotions and fear of death and begin to buy the "big 'ol can of bullshit" that is christianity.

I have heard that Jehovah's Witness funerals are like prime hunting grounds for recruits. I know the people in the Church bus weren't JW's but I can see this happening.

I've never heard that. I'm not saying it isn't true or that it would surprise me but I would take claims like that with a grain of salt. It sounds like an assumption somebody made.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
