top4718 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 And I bet the I word gave you a little frisson of excitement didn't it - you finally got to demonise them again after a day of waiting. ......and it also puts an end to your excuse making, hiding from the reality of the situation is one of the root causes.

Lord Rex Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 An American celebrating his 25th wedding anniversary was murdered and the lady who was thrown into the river was a Romanian. Innocent people from all over the World have suffered as a consequence of this evil terrorist attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the twitter feed there it says we need to understand islam,i have a problem that has an atheist i do not want to learn anyones religion.I have never read any religious book,i dont want too.I had a bible thrust into my hand at school but i never read it.I used to come bottom of the class every year in religious education,it sounded like fictional mumbo jumbo.I am sorry to say i will not be willing to learn about any religion,it is the principle of it.As i said earlier it really upsets me that innocent people have been killed because of religious reasons.Totally senseless, it doesnt make any sense to me,totally illogical.

I too am an atheist, but have read many parts of The Bible and translations of The Koran. They are interesting books and give an insight into the jumbled and misguided thinking of the theists. The people who wrote them were great manipulators of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyboy Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 There was a photo in the DM today that had me in tears. In total contrast to the action of the perpetrator of this terrible deed was the picture of a lady cradling a victim in her arms. Two strangers one full of hate the other of compassion.

I still cannot bring myself to read any of them.I still have the copy of the bible on a shelf behind where i am sat now,unread and now forty years old.I remember the gideon society representative who gave them to us saying that they would guide us through life in times of trouble and give us assurances of eternal life,a sort of security blanket.I wasnt having any of it,i was only interested in science and astronomy.

Mister M Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) I see that the right wing 'commentator' Katie Hopkins has wade into the tragic events. In an appearance on Fox News, Hopkins claimed people in London were “cowed”, “afraid” and “not united” following yesterday’s atrocity. She went on to say: “all we are is a nation of ghettos” and that “liberals think multiculturalism actually means we all die together”. http://www.ok.co.uk/celebrity-news/1032060/london-terror-attack-katie-hopkins-fox-news-interview-westminster-tube-apprentice But hundreds of people have hit back on Twitter to refute the picture she painted out of London, pointing out that people are going about their business as normal today. Among them was MP James Cleverly, who revealed yesterday that he knew Keith Palmer, the policeman killed bravely protecting Parliament. He wrote on Twitter: "I've known Keith for 25 years. We served together in the Royal Artillery before he became a copper. A lovely man, a friend. I'm heartbroken". And in a retort to Hopkins he added that: "I'm on a train heading towards Westminster. No one is cowed, afraid or divided. Please stop your stupid attention seeking comments". Well said him. Edited March 23, 2017 by Mister M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am certainly not afraid, im afraid of nobody but i am not convinced that we are winning the battle so i am probably not united.At the moment i am baffled and angry the same as i am everytime things like this happen.
