But it's perfectly acceptable to debate the legality of guns.

Why is THAT so hard to understand?

You see - you're not right, and possibly neither am I.
And that's the fault of religion....how?

OK, so we can debate the legality of guns because some people misuse, or misinterpret their use. Can we then debate whether the Islamic faith should be outlawed, or promoted as little as possible because some people misinterpret it?.

Whether you believe your religion brings you comfort or understanding, it's fvcked up non the less.

Christians, Jews, Muslim, Martian.... I'm sorry, you're all fvcked up.


I'm off for another beer.
Just not worth any form of comment!

Unlucky pal.

Seeing as it was the fourth post on a 4 page thread, perhaps you should've read it before you decided to comment!

Just been reading about the guy who kept going back in to help get people out ( 12 times apparently) now there's a bloke who's got some ***** , didn't pay much attention until I saw the news footage of a woman and small child playing dead
Can't begin to imagine the fear in a situation like this , awful

We can moan about religion all day long but it is a waste of breath, it isn't going anywhere globally anytime soon, It is entrenched in a lot of countries, inseparable from the culture and not really optional.

I don't think we will ever get rid of terrorism, there will always be someone with guns, bombs and an agenda who feels like they need to take it out on shoppers, club goers, kids or people on public transport, it's amazing what nihilism, hated and anger can drive a person to do, without religion it would still happen under another "cause"

The middle east will never be stable I don't think, every day a bomb explodes in a market killing god knows how many.

Yes, but when the cause happens to be a religion, people find it weirder, I think.
