So, even Orthodox Jews in Israel have gotten the memo about adhering to the GOP Presidential platform.

Religion is bullshit and evil, no matter what religion.

“Science Flies Men To The Moon; Fundamentalist Religions Fly Men Into Buildings (or knife-wielding rages)”…

Hopefully his prison sentence will be a lot longer this time.

Want to really punish him? Induct him into the army and end his welfare existence. These guys are the biggest moochers of all.

“Schlissel was convicted of a similar attack that wounded several people at [another] gay pride parade…”

For a guy who claims to be a homophobe, he sure hangs around a lot of gay pride events.

Madmen are distributed more or less evenly throughout the world.

Purists of all stripe, religious, racial etc., disgust and frighten me. (What else, for example, does the GOPers desire to deport Hispanics really mean except that they are on the same page racial-purity wise as Dylanne Roof?)

But this is what I’ve long feared re Israel–the effort to embed itself in the Middle East, while ostensibly fighting against its Arab/Muslim neighbors, makes them come to resemble the tactics of their enemies’ extremist wing.

Shame on this ‘religious’ man. He’s pure garbage as a human being, and no G-d should accept him in the fold.

When you think that god is telling you what to do, you’re capable of doing absolutely anything.

lol…Maybe he is becoming that which he loathes most!

sniffit · July 30, 2015, 8:29pm

Aaaaaah, religion…man’s greatest failure.

superabound · July 30, 2015, 8:51pm

Except even more around lead paint.

If all participants had a gun, this wouldnt have happened. NRA is looking if US constitution applies to US colonies.

Evil men will do Evil no matter their religion.
Good men will do Good no matter their religion.
Good men will only do evil because of their religion.

Removing his arms would be unorthodox but effective…

if you’re hearing voices you need to be in a straight jacket in a padded room for the rest of your life - highly sedated…

I think they simply got the memo about fundamentalist religions being a nut-magnet.

(A quite interesting discussion of this phenomenon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WwAQqWUkpI [Robert Sapolsky, lecture on mental health and religiosity, ~83 minutes] )

Religion Kills!

It really does!

If you believe in absurdities, it makes it easier to commit barbarities.
Pascal’s famous line is and will ever be true:

http://quotes.lifehack.org/media/quotes/quote-Blaise-Pascal-men-never-do-evil-so-completely-and-45069.png

And these fundies are always willing to go to any extreme, including murder, in the name of their all seeing and loving God. They are willing to destroy anyone or any thing in the defense of their imaginary friend. What’s the reason? Because man created “GOD” in HIS own image…tribal, intolerant and violent.

Someone once said: “If your GOD doesn’t like how I live my life or what I’m doing, let Him tell ME…not YOU!” And to that, I say, “Amen!”
