    This is disgusting.

    Look at the kids. They're like Hitler Youth, completely indoctrinated before they're 10. They know nothing but Salafist Islam and their young brains will be morphed irrepairably by this. As adults they will become the rabid Jihadists we are all familiar with. As barbaric as this sounds, these kids basically have to die now, preferably sooner rather than later, otherwise they'll learn how to fight back.

    I've lost all respect for the Syrian rebels at this point. They willingly co-operate with al-Qaeda, and many of them are Islamists anyway. And yet the CIA still funnels them weapons to spite the Russians - it's Afghanistan all over again.

    I mean Putin and Iran are not the good guys here, but they aren't a direct threat, especially Iran. Putin is definitely bordering on villain status at this point, but he's probably not going to nuke Berlin any time soon, so situational co-operation is not going to hurt us. I hope the Russians and their Syrian puppets bomb these (*)(*)(*)(*)ers into oblivion and kill every last one.

    They blindly believe all this crap without a shred of evidence, proof or rational justification. They simply take what the Qur'an says on faith, and faith alone, and kill and enslave people as a result. This is why religion is dangerous - in its quest to soothe the nerves of those who cannot bear to live without answers to the greatest questions of existence (Why are we here, where did we come from, why do we exist, why does the universe exist, etc), its backwards and barbaric messages thus persuade its followers to act like savages. After all, they say, if the book provides answers to all the questions I want answers to, then surely its other, more Earthy teachings must be correct also.

    Reject this caveman bull(*)(*)(*)(*).

    This is the most important time in history to be an atheist in a foxhole.

    This is the most important time to faith in Christianity to pull us out of it.

    Atheism left a void that Islam filled. Perhaps if you guys on the left attacked Islam like you did Christianity we wouldn't be in this mess.

    That is not politically correct to call out terrorists though, is it?

    Christianity isn't true either. God won't save you, God doesn't exist. We, humans on this planet, have to solve our own problems.

    And the Middle East was never atheist, Islam didn't fill any void, it was spread by the sword, the polytheistic religions preceeding it destroyed, and has been practiced devoutly ever since.

    Politicians have become dangerous. They arm terrorists. They learned nothing from arming Al-Q vs. Russia in Afghanistan. They disarm citizens. This is more dangerous than the terrorists religion.

    It's no diffferent from what countries do. Get the young to fight and die for the old, and you can only do that by lying and brain washing.

    Haven't you ever seen the beginning classroom scene of all quiet on the western front? The same exact thing. Or how the media and politicians got Americans all worked up when the Japanese navy bombed pearl harbor. The very next day, there were lines at recruitment centers, and hollywood started pumping out war movies.

    This is no different.

    Wrong.

    Unless you (or anyone) could prove to me that MORE religion would make people LESS violent... I won't ever buy the notion that piling on more of it is the way to go. I'm pretty sure that it isn't.

    Most religions demand higher morals and values than atheists or Muslims have.

    God warriors are scary regardless the faith

    Christians and Muslims believe in the same God....

    Sorry if I don't take your word that God doesn't exist. If you don't believe, that's your problem.

    That's not what I've seen... and certainly not in practice, as it relates to physical violence.

    Christians can be quite violent... along with the rest of human beings. Most atheists I have dealt with are (interestingly enough) very peace-loving people.

    Religion (whether one is with/without it) is a personal thing. You see not believing as a problem; truly, THAT mindset is YOURS to deal with. Don't try pushing that off on non-believers. They (in no way) should be compelled by your insistence, that they must believe.

    No one should be so PUSHY about their 'state' of belief... that they must bring others in 'tow', to somehow bolster or justify their own.

    Stop with your labels, we are ALL dealing with human beings.

    And the Golden Rule REALLY works, overall.

    I have no interest in pushing you to believe but as you can see by the religious forums here, atheists have a deep desire to prove me wrong. When they can't they resort to personal attacks.

    BS...you want to destroy religion.

    just as you have a deep desire to prove them wrong... this is a political board, if people wanted to be around like minded people, they would join a religious board that only allowed their religion

    I'm with you 1,000.000% on the religion aspect.

    Personally I think religion is the single most destructive force on the planet. (always has been)

    For whatever good has come from religion, past & current history shows us just how destructive it has been.

    All for some omnipotent being that absolutely does not exist, for if he or she or it did................how could such a being, seeing all of the torment, death & destruction this planet goes through everyday - "not" do something about it.

    Having said all of that, I'd like to point out the video time frame from 4:46 to 5:21....

    This more so than anything I've been writing about drives my point home about not lumping all of these people together.

    When the little boy from Uzbekistan was asked if he missed home, his answer (in that time frame) about how the folks back home feel about what he's doing is what people need to hear the most right now.

    When someone accuses me of believing in a fairy tale I am obligated to defend myself.

    By the way, bringing up dead babies, unicorns, or fairy tales has nothing to do with separation of church and state. They are personal attacks.

    Hey, they get paid to kill people. As long as you like killing people, then I wouldn't call them stupid.

    You might argue that they are getting paid to kill people in order to protect the country, but you'd have to be pretty stupid to think you're protecting the country when you're in a jungle or a desert that is decidedly not part of your country, but you're killing them anyway.

    What would you call somebody like that?
