i dont need "God" to be free, to have a will of my own and to be happy
quite the opposite, i dont want the rules that religion bring cause that takes away my freedom
and if it turns out that "God" actually exist...well...i guess i'll just have to burn in hell for having my own opinion and dont want to be held down by religion :rotfl:

Morts, I've known you for some time over SS & MSN. So I ask you, dont make fun of Iceman, ok? He is obviously very religious man, so let him be and belief to what he wants.

I dont believe in god. IIRC, you dont either Morts. Iceman does. No need to start a fight over beliefs. Heck, I could belief in my fricking finger if I wanted to, that's my business. And, morts, no pun intended, just my take, I've always respected Iceman for some reason.

No quote from Fredrick or anything?...this thread was titled...Massacre in Mumbai.

Did not mean for it to derail by commenting on Skybirds infidel type comment lol..

Did we actually learn if it was "Religious" extremists or was it perhaps some other group trying to make a name for itself....or is it same ole song that we hear over and over today and have become desensitized to?

Death, destruction, next victim plz...

No Fear!...guys who do this kinda stuff really rely on age old tactics it seems...the fear of death is powerful indeed.

I've moved this out of the Mumbai thread.

Now exclude the Star Trek items, please - Vulcans are areligious. The rest could be thrown together with Rockstar's bible class from today.

Don't be ridiculous. Iceman makes a post in which he chooses to enter a discussion, saying, among other things, "you crack me up", and we're supposed to just leave him as if he didn't say anything? Just because we happened to be discussing religion? If we were discussing Obama and I jumped in and attacked a McCain voter for opposing Barrack, would you leave me alone if I said that I very strongly supported Obama and wanted my beliefs to be left alone? Of course not.

As for Iceman's post, it sounds to me like an Orwellian "freedom is slavery" mentality - you need an authority watching and judging your every move, 24/7 for every single day of your life... or you're not free. If there's no Great Omnipotent Divine Stasi, there's no reason to be good.

As has been pointed out by so many on this forum so many times, this is simply incorrect. Take a trip to a democratic country with a strong atheist poulation (Norway, Japan, Canada, et al), and then get back to me. Note how most of the countries on the Top 10 of the HDI are secular and/or have a strong atheist population... and then brag about how great it is to slave under Yahweh.

Well, what do expect from the "religions of peace"??? The world has had this problem since the 7th century. It is not just an American, Jewish or Christian problem. Anyone that is not Muslim is an infidel and you have two choices according to their "holy book", either convert or die...

All three major Abrahamic religions have been incredibly violent over the years, and all have incredibly nasty books they for some reason cling to. You Christians are mostly good people, you really are, but you'd be so much easier to discuss things with if you actually read your Bibles.

No different in the Christian or Jewish religions.

Sure Stealth! When is the last time you saw a jew or Christian cut someones head of on Al Jazeera? Honestly, if you believe that comment of yours your IQ must be below 70.

If you think that the wrong-doings of a thousand people constitute the feelings and opinions of 1.3 billion, you've got some serious ****ing problems with math.

And also take note that the Muslims in the 7th century were perfecting the arts and sciences while the Christians were burning heretics and witches. I'll say it again, it was no different to the Christians or Jews. ALL RELIGIONS (except for Buddhism) believe that if you are not following their belief system, you are an infidel...
