Thunderlips, you are just plain wrong on this. I'm sure there are plenty of heterosexual pedophiles that go to those concerts.

True enough.

Hey, did you ever see the Tiffany Playboy Photoshoot. Oohhh yeah. Gonna put that in another thread.

Dan8267 says

Hey, Fort Wayne, you still think that freedom of religion is sacred?

Unrelated to the subject, as cbo said...blowing people up is wrong and illegal.

Another tragedy here. If Middle East muslims did this, they'll claim responsibility fast. They murder for tv ratings.

Putin Fanboy says

A bunch of teenagers killed and the first thing you think about are "Neoliberals and SJWs"? It's disgusting that you take delight the fact that murdered children might have a negative effect on your imagined political adversaries.

No, I'm trying to get people like you to see the threat of a Radical Religion. It's not going to stop, no matter how much you apologize and coddle them. Get them the Fuck OUT, and at the very least stop taking them in.

FFS, it's teenage girls being targeted now.

You guys are truly the enemies of Humanity if this attack doesn't change you mind.

This sucks because it's legal to see hoes in England.

FortWayne says

Unrelated to the subject, as cbo said...blowing people up is wrong and illegal.

Very much related to the subject. Religion is exactly what is motivating people to blow other people up.

Are you willing to open our borders to Muslims like Europe did? If not, you are being hypocritical.

Just remember, Trump tried to ban Muslims from entering the country. That's a bold step against freedom of religion.

Ceffer says

What, no selfys of them getting trampled.

the coroners pick up their phones off the ground later and well see them then. the selfie ones and the ones texting their moms of the danger they are in are the ones who usually don't make it. and the mothers who are texting back saying "oh my dear, please tell me what is going on" are not helping, they need to text get off your dam phone and run the hell out of there !!

Personal gain is motivator not religion. 20 people died, it's aweful and tragic.

Why the hell did they have to bomb a pop concert? Why couldn't they bomb a SJW convention or Ms. Magazine?

FortWayne says

So you are saying that Islam has nothing to do with Islamic terrorism. You sound just like the left.

rando says

Those funny little squiggles could mean anything. No reason to jump to the conclusion that it has anything to do with Islam. Maybe it's a new kind of emoji. It does look like a penis entering a vagina.

Dan8267 says

Looks like an Arab getting his ass and balls (two dots) licked by a Goat (reverse lower case "g").

Islam tells them to bomb to gain virgins and some other benefits. Islam is anti America. You liberals can relate.

That's no Arab! That's piggy!

I'm not hypocritical, we are a Christian nation. Love for the country matters, it's what America is about.

Dan8267 says

Religions are not all the same, not even close.

Islam is much worse than any other no matter how you look at it. Islam is petulant and bitter, always claiming oppression, even from its beginning while it was slaughtering its way through the Mideast.

The Koran is an amazing document of psychopathology really. Check it out, the whole book reeks of butt-hurt from beginning to end. Be careful not to get infected if you touch it.

Putin Fanboy says

You people truly are a basket of deplorables.

True.

Manchester was an attack on teenagers. Rotherham (and the many others) was an attack on children. Girls specifically

What society doesn't put the protection of children and the next generation of Mothers first? Even the dopiest, most primitive barbarians protect their women and children.

Enoch Powell was right. He called it just like it came to be. Rivers of Blood.

Those who the Gods destroy, the first make Mad.

Theresa May should do this tomorrow:

1) Halt all immigration
2) Stop funding for all state-funded religious schools, regardless of denomination if necessary.
3) Ban any covering of the face in Schools as they are not compatible with British values.
4) Enforce the Goddamn Monogamy Law and arrest and deport Polygamists. Or, allow ALL Britons, regardless of religion or race, to have multiple spouses. One Law for All.

rando says

Religions are not all the same, not even close.

Isn't it amazing that all these years after 9/11 people still have to point out this obvious fact to the Dan's of the world?

But that won't stop Dan and the SJW types that try and project Islam's manifest problems on peaceful Christians, Jews, Hindus and Bahai's under the guise of "religion". Are they really this ignorant of the massive dogma and cultural differences between the world's religions? Is it just cowardice to call out Islam? Or is it self-loathing and feeling sorry for Muslims as if someone wronged them for not converting?

Putin Fanboy says

Innocent children are murdered and all you can think is about is how to use this tragedy to win arguments with fake enemies you've made on a website. It's truly disgusting and you should delete this thread.

Innocent Children are murdered - and after incidents like Rotherham were serially raped by the scores for more than a decade with the almost entirely Muslim perpetrators while the authorities hesitated to investigate and wrote all the reports off as "Cultural Norms" - and all you can think about is trying to shame somebody who's pissed off about it.

It's truly disgusting and you should delete your account.

You're an obstacle, get out of the way of the solution.

rando says

So far, only one newspaper site has anything about it: "The sick account Owys 663 threatened terror in Manchester an hour before the incident.

The message read: "Are you just forget our threat [sic]? This is the just terror."

Glad I got a screenshot while it was possible.

FortWayne says

I'm not hypocritical, we are a Christian nation.

That is the epitome of hypocrisy. If you call America "a Christian nation" then you don't believe in freedom of religion but rather a few state sponsored religions. That's the exact oppose of freedom of religion. And that makes it hypocrisy.

For 90% of its existence, Christianity was as evil, violent, and despicable as Islam today. The only reason it's not right now is that the past 200 years of secularism, agnosticism, and atheism has weaken Christian faith to a tiny fraction of what it used to be.

If Christian faith were made again as strong as Islamic faith, Christians would be torturing and killing people and committing genocide like they have from the foundation of the faith up until WWII.

If you waved a magic wand and replaced the belief in Islam with the belief in Christianity, the Muslims converted to Christianity would be killing in the name of Jesus. You are a fool if you believe otherwise.

Faith is irrational and therefore subject to manipulation for violence. And there is no up side to faith.

Your life just got saved...

Dan, read the New Testament and then read the Koran.

The tone is dramatically different between them (forgiveness vs butt-hurt anger). They are just not going to have the same effect on believers. If you think the believers are going to behave identically, you're assuming that very different inputs will necessarily result in the same output. That's just bad science at the very least.

rando says

Yes. Saudis own more of Twitter than Jack Dorsey does, and they use it as part of their "Muslim world plan" to stop anyone saying anything "bad" (meaning accurate) about their hateful charlatan and his horrible fraud. Instead, we're seeing already the MSM bleating their usual platitudes about how civilized people must condemn only the latest act, not the doctrine that commands more of the same, nor those who advocate spreading that doctrine.

BlueSardine says

Nope - try and read a history book Dan. You haven't a clue.

Maybe you should. One with pictures so you'll understand.

socal2 says

There are millions and millions of super devout and fundamentalist Christians

The ones bombing abortion clinics? The ones telling Africans it's a sin to use condoms and thus causing an AIDS epidemic?

And let's not forget the Holocaust and slavery, two relatively recent events in the 2000 year history of Christianity.

Even excluding those two things, you have to completely disregard 80% of Christian history to make the case that Christianity is fundamentally different. The fact is that Christians have behaved appallingly throughout the vast majority of their history and were only recently stopped by having their religions castrated.

The faith of even the most fervent Christian today is nothing compared to the average Christian in medieval Europe.

Putin Fanboy says

.

Correct. I am an obstacle who stands in the way of you taking delight over the murder of children and using the tragedy to taunt fake enemies on a website.

You are deplorable.

Right, fake enemies. They're the enablers of people who kill children, because they're more worried about some people's Feelz than actual mass murder of kids.

We can't have common sense immigration restrictions and deportation of radicals, because it might make some people feel like they're prejudiced against. Boo Fuckin' Hoo

They are a real enemy, who is preventing society from dealing with Religious Fascism. It's more important they feel good about themselves as nice people.

just any guy says

@Dan - I'm really disappointed in you right now. I'm not even joking.

An unjustified opinion carries no weight. I can justify my statements of Christianity based on hard historical evidence spanning 2000 years.

fox news report on it, pretty good commentary by Nigel Farel (that british brexit dude)

Terrorists attacked children. Trump should ban more countries from immigrating here.

Dan8267 says

It's about America and American values. If you come here and your religion says to kill America, than get out. It's simple and clear enough.

Why do you guys always blame Muslims? WTF is wrong with you.

Don't #PrayForManchester. Say #NoMoreManchesters

We tried these tactics repeatedly and they demonstrably don't work:

rando says

Dan, read the New Testament and then read the Koran.

So your premise is that Christianity is a good religion because the New Testament teaches good things and thus Christianity would not be a force for evil.

When exactly was the New Testament written? If it's not a new addition to Christianity within the past 200 years, then your premise is empirically false.

The medieval Christian read the exact same New Testament that you read. Yet, he drowns women and children, burns people alive, tortures people in the most horrific ways, and slaughtered non-believers in the name of the Christian god. Even before Christianity was legalized by the Roman government, Christians attacked and murdered Jews. They did this after the New Testament was written.

They skinned Hypatia to death after the New Testament was written. They waged religious wars and committed the worst atrocities in history all after the New Testament was written. They raped children they kept as slaves after the New Testament was written. The slavers quoted the New Testament as justification for slavery. They burned Jews in ovens after the New Testament was written.

If the New Testament is such a good moral guide for Christianity, how the hell do you explain all of the past two millennia of Christian atrocities, all of which occurred after the New Testament was written?

Your premise is disproved by all of Christian history. It's not the New Testament that is responsible for keeping Christianity in line today. It's secularism. Secularism today would not tolerate wars between Catholics and Protestants. Just look at the Troubles in Ireland. Secularism would not tolerate Christians killing Jews today because of the memory of the Holocaust. Secularism today won't tolerate Christian raping of slave children. And it's secularism, not the New Testament, that has changed in the past 200 years.

It does not matter how "nice" you make the stories in a holy book. All religions are corruptible precisely because they require faith and do not allow questioning the faith. No faith can live up to questioning, so reason and evidence must be made irrelevant to the flock, and that makes the flock dangerous.

And don't be fooled into thinking that because Christianity is mostly under control today -- although it still causes great harm to our society -- that it will forever remain that way. It can easily become radicalized just like Islam. Remember, Islam was for a while a more compassionate and tolerate religion in the middle ages even promoting science and questions. See Carol Sagan's original The Cosmos for details. Islam was later radicalized. Christianity was radical for 80% of it's existence. It would be ridiculous to think it's impossible for it to be radicalized again.

And again, there is absolutely no upside to irrationality, delusion, and the unquestioning belief in lies.

FortWayne says

If you come here and your religion says to kill America, than get out.

Like I said, you don't believe in freedom of religion any more than I do. The difference is that I'm honest about it.

curious2 says

Yes. Saudis own more of Twitter than Jack Dorsey does,

Could they close Trump's account? 'Cause that might make me support them a bit.
