The Paris Attack Debate Thread

[Admiral Yi]

True, but people would do that anyway. Gays, kids, and the overall general population would be better off without the nonsense.

Is there something about having spent time in the military that makes people respond to posts without reading them?  I specifically said either toss it altogether or only keep the good parts.

I agree with you about tossing it all together.

Your original post said "and" not "or". Different context IMO.

I agree, which is why I said they have to discard Islam and create something new.

My bad if I was confusing.

Fair enough.  But I don't see how you get from "create something new" to "keep some of the nonsense."

NP. Nonsense=Religion in my posts. IOW Religion itself is nonsense.

If you make it a religion, then you have kept some of the nonsense.  I suppose quasi-religions like Buddhism are all right, since they have no deities and address only the behavior of the believer.  They all seem pretty emo, but maybe some people need that excuse to feel good about their own emodom.

Beat me to it.  Deities and extrinsic morality (for adults) are nonsense.

When did Languish become so hostile to religion?

[Grey Fox]

Always, you didnt notice back when you were not one of gods chosen.

[Jaron]

I wonder what MishkaZaznaykin would have to say about all this.

I am not hostile to religion,but I think it is nonsense.  People can indulge if they please with my complete blessings (I've known any number of very good people who were religious), but that doesn't change the facts.

[Jaron]

What facts?

[Grallon]

Kill Them All!  Sterilize the whole region and put the fear of God into the survivors who lurk within our borders, since the maggots are so eager to invoke it on others...

They want a war?  Let's give it to them.  The West has an overabundance of nukes it no longer has any need for; we might as well put them to use.


Ahh... but that was a fantasy.

In reality we'll temporize, obfuscate and wring our collective hands - wondering 'how come they hate us so much'...  until the next attack comes.  And with mindless idiots like the new Canadian PM, who's already wetting himself with his promise of welcoming twenty-five thousand potential Syrian terrorists - before Christmas no less - we'll just have to wait for the next assault.

Here's an unpleasant truth, for all the 'sympathizers' of those mongrels...

Even if the West was to pull out of every Muslim country tomorrow; even if we were to stop any military actions against any of them - and repatriate all of our fellow citizens operating there in any capacity - such wanton slaughter would still be conceived, prepared and executed.

The worm is in the fruit already.

Islam *must* die!

[The Minsky Moment]

Judaism was a national religion which never had global pretentions and had several chock blocks built in to make impossible a global reach, like requiring all males to come 3 times a year to the temple, by having only one temple, and requiring religion conversion to be equal to national and cultural conversion. All these made expansion by conquest or colonization imposible for jews.

Impossible is a bit much.  The Hasmoneans conquered Galilee and Edom and some strips beyond the Jordan; it appears they either engaged in forced or "persuasive" conversions. But it's true those efforts were opportunistic and local, not part of a universal expansionist ideology.
