Did anyone else note the extreme prejudice - if not outright abject ignorance - in/behind this post?
I think what Werner is trying to say is that a truly "godly" person would not go around shooting people up--and I agree with that to a certain extent. On the other hand, if a shooter tells you that they are shooting people up because of their religious beliefs, I think we have to take them at their word. Calling these shooters atheists, however, is pretty nutty, since an atheist would be devoid of any such motivation.

The part to get, to focus on till it sinks in, is...
"everyone of these so called shooters are in true sense atheists, -Werner Braun
Translation: if not a theist, you're an atheist and a miscreant of the worst kind, worse than...
Pure ignorance and prejudice.
It's got to stop. It will stop. In this century.

Yep .... Like clock work the loon HFCS believes everything he reads on the internet.
That's why you're so brainwashed.
I specifically wrote that because I knew you would bite and have another mental breakdown.
You're a mess and DMT had you nailed to the wall perfectly .......

You should take a vacation HFCS.
You're way too emotionally unstable for these topics.

If I am correct in my thinking...
the majority of the mass shootings in this country have pretty much all been performed by the seriously mentally ill...
True. And religion is a form of mental illness.

Not sure about that...
but it is for the weak and frightened...
If an individual believes he hears an imaginary little voice in his head suggesting that he do certain things, that's pretty clearly diagnosable. I don't see why the scenario where millions or billions of people believe they hear the same type of imaginary, nonexistent voice should be categorized much differently.

Locker, I think W.B. Yeats was quite correct when he stated, "The present age isn't characterized by belief".

Atheist or not, the only thing we really seem to worship are our own beliefs. Have at it!

I've come to the same conclusion. I think the political conclusions we draw - or at least express - after this latest tragedy and outrage reflect our religious beliefs all too well.
