Religion's got the same guilt by association bullshit that firearms have got.... try to be a little smarter than that....

Really?! That has to be one of the most Politically Correct but completely incorrect posts on here.

The greatest tragedy in Mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.

I was going to go with 'bullshit' myself, I guess that means we disagree

I was only talking about the religion part of the post, guns don't make "nut jobs".

Wow I think this thread has gone a bit off base. I would like to blame the Australian.

Moral of the story is "convicts shouldn't have guns".

I take your point and accept that mine is a gross generalisation, however in my eyes religious fanaticism is still religion.
This waste has been happening for thousands of years and no doubt will continue to do so for a long time to come. Having experienced murder on an extremely personal level at the hand of someone doing their gods work, I hope you'll understand why I struggle to be as smart as you suggest. I will admit to finding your post naive, but also accept that mine is prejudiced.
It is pure evil that someone can be motivated to take another life for no other reason than an opposing belief.

Also in Islam the punishment for apostasy (leaving the faith or questioning its fundamental beliefs) is defined in the Qur'an is death so you can't deny that is a violent religion.

I am not saying Islam is any worse than any other religion, just that they are all illogical and violent.

@MassiveAttack and others.
Hey I think this is a topic for another day
probably another forum.
Just sayin, at the moment.

Actually it is the same thing... I wasn't talking about the veracity of either subject, merely the comparison of how people choose to treat them and the hypocrisy of that...

The reality of the many adherents who cause no offence, issues or violence being judged by the actions of the few that do....

Is that any clearer for you....?
