Those who are potential victims of a terrorism based on religion.

You're not wrapped too tightly, are you? Your mamma' drop you on your
head when you were a baby or something? A more appropriate reply to
an obvious joke might be, "Ha ha" or, if you really didn't think it
was funny, "I didn't think that was funny". But accusing someone of
terrorism for telling a joke is a bit... "insane", all things
considered. Whatever your condition is, I'm sure there's help for
you. But you have to _want_ it first, otherwise it won't do you a bit
of good. Poor little waif. I feel genuinely sorry for you suffering
through life with your obvious impairments.

*Sigh*... Okay, I still don't see the joke, but I'll give the benefit
of the doubt and assume your intention wasn't to be snotty. That's
how I took it, but perhaps that was wrong. If that's the case, then I
apologize for patronizing you as I did.

Of course religion is a "belief." Maybe not always a *good* one, but it
is a belief nonetheless. What other name would you give it?

Belief (by definition) is a thought.For example if I believe there are
aliens on other planets or that you are an idiot or that OJ Simpson is
guilty of murders, that is still a belief, an opinion. Of course if I
had a power to kill people based on my belief, you'd have a problem
with it, and you wouldn't call it a belief. So why is religion gets a
special dispensation?
Think about it, Hitler had a belief too. Does it justify nazism? So
how is "religious" belief justifies theism, that murdering people?

Because it caters to the many, not the few. (circa 1982, Star Trek II,
The Wrath of Khan)

Fundamentalism is a disease. As is all religion. But you are preaching
to the choir here. Perhaps you should be directing your questions to one
of the christian newsgroups.

Wrong.Atheists are the ones whp argue about religion like its a
belief. Imagine cops instead of catching mafia would be sitting and
arguing how mafia is bad.

"A long time ago, God made a Divine Plan. Gave it a lot of thought, decided
it was a good plan, put it into practice. And for billions and billions of
years, the Divine Plan has been doing just fine. Now, you come along, and
pray for something. Well suppose the thing you want isn't in God's Divine
Plan? What do you want Him to do? Change His plan? Just for you? Doesn't it
seem a little arrogant? It's a Divine Plan. What's the use of being God if
every run-down shmuck with a two-dollar prayerbook can come along and *****
up Your Plan?"

There's one guy in Brisbane I wish they would arrest. He stands right on
the edge of King George Square so he can assault both the people trying to
relax in the park and those stuck at the crosswalk having to listen to him.
He's a fucking psycho....aggressive and so self righteous you feel like
throwing him in front of one of the busses going past. Glad I don't live
there anymore and have to put up with him.

I saw one of those idiots in my town not too long ago. Stomping around
waving a big jeebus sign and making a total ***** out of himself. As I
passed by I shouted "Zeus is your savior!!" out my window. My kids got a
kick out of that.

"Suicide Car Bombers Kill 23 in Turkey

By JAMES C. HELICKE, Associated Press Writer
ISTANBUL, Turkey - Suicide car bombers attacked two synagogues in
downtown Istanbul at almost the same time Saturday, killing 23 people,
the interior minister said.
HOW CAN YOU call religion a belief?
Of course religion is a "belief." Maybe not always a *good* one, but it
is a belief nonetheless. What other name would you give it?
Belief (by definition) is a thought.For example if I believe there are
aliens on other planets or that you are an idiot or that OJ Simpson is
guilty of murders, that is still a belief, an opinion. Of course if I
had a power to kill people based on my belief, you'd have a problem
with it, and you wouldn't call it a belief.
Sure would. If you thought OJ was a murderer, and killed him because
of that, your killing of him would not be a belief but an action; but
it would be an action based on your belief.
So why is religion gets a
special dispensation?
Religion doesn't get a special dispensation. Someone who kills
because of a religious belief is no different from someone who kills
because of any other belief.
Think about it, Hitler had a belief too. Does it justify nazism? So
how is "religious" belief justifies theism, that murdering people?
Religious belief does not justify murdering anyone.

Whoever said that killing based on religion wasn't also bad? Who is
making this assertion? The person doing the killing?
Isn't religion like the gun in "Guns don't kill people; people kill
people"? The thing itself doesn't committ the murder. It is all in how
the thing is being used, for good or evil.
Think about it, Hitler had a belief too. Does it justify nazism? So
how is "religious" belief justifies theism, that murdering people?

Of course not. But they keep doing it everyday.
Folks are murdered everyday, for a myriad of reasons, none of them
making the person right, regardless of how that person justifies himself
or how he feel about his actions.
