gimp27 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Not really http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/abortviolence/stories/gunn.htm You have chosen a story from Thursday, March 11, 1993, which although is a terrible event, its still over twenty years old. How many murders and beheadings and stonings and heaven knows what else have been carried out by other religions over the last twenty years? No matter how much people sugar coat this, modern life has no place for outdated religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimp27 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 This isn't Top Trumps. No, it isnt. But there is a huge difference in the scale and amount of death by one faith, as opposed to other faiths, and just how literally the faiths are viewed.

I was wondering what percentage of each religion you thought were fundamentalist? I suppose it depends on the level of violence and brutality that the literal followers bestowed on their chosen victims. Your earlier post showed a doctor being murdered for carrying out abortions. An awful event, but the guilty chose this man out for his actions. Now, the first plane that hit the twin towers. Did the guilty know the passengers personally or any of the people that were in the trade centre that were murdered, and were upset at whatever they had done, or was it just a random religious act or was it an intended mass murder on western civilisation? Did they know the passengers? No Did they know the tower victims? No Did they do this on religious grounds? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
