Islam has a real problem. But I really would have liked Hitchins to read out a paragraph from the Koran that tells it's followers to kill unbelievers as that is most undoubtably an example of a true hate crime.

Lets be fair and balanced.

Bizarro

You are simply wrong. A bottle of Joy dish soap and some gasoline is all that it takes to make basic napalm.
You are pushing what you call the relatively harmless nature of the bombs. In fact the opposite is true. Napalm sticks to what it touches and can not be doused with water. Yes,it burns slowly. This insures that the victum suffers great pain as it burns it's way into ther flesh and death would be better than living with the wounds caused by napalm.
Conventional bombs mame or kill instantlly. Napalm makes sure that you die a slow painfull death.
In the Vietnam War napalm bombs were called the most affective anti-persanel weapon avalable.

Personally I don't feel sexually satisfied till I have made my girl climax. Many times this requires a clitoris.
In my rejection of religion I have rejected irrational cultural traditions just as vagariously as religious dogma. There's not much difference. Question every thing.
Speaking of traditional religious non-sense, I want my foreskin back, dammit. Am I missing something like a circumcised clit. I mean......Why? Oh why would they cut me up when I had no say in the decision?

69. Intellectual Diversity or Intellectual Insult?

Comment #39461 by Goodwithwood on May 10, 2007 at 6:36 pm

Science has been debunking religion for centuries now. Religion keeps having to reinterpret their holy books to remain convincing. Their problem is and always has been educating the masses, teaching rational empirical thought to the people is universal acid to religion. It creates enlightenment.
Maybe the reason the US government doesn't take educating their children seriously is because educated people would never vote for them. Ignorance is what keeps the sheeple in line.
So now the argument from creationists is to claim that faith/ignorance is somehow the opposite of what it really is by calling it intellectual.
Conservative thought can be intellectual, if only you can purge yourselves of the radical religious element that poisons your cognitive abilities.

70. The moment a teenage girl was stoned to death for loving the wrong boy

Comment #38008 by Goodwithwood on May 6, 2007 at 4:21 pm

Yezidi
From what I've researched Yezidi has more in common with Islam than it does Christianity.

Yezidi's centrial god is Malaki Ta''us. It's actually the head angel of 7 angels. He is yahwe's representative on earth. He had a hand in creating Adam and Eve.
I'm not going to go into detail here but basically Yezidi has it's roots in Persian religions such as Zoroastrianism. But of corse Christianity has it's roots in Judaism and Zoroastrianism as does Islam. Yazidi seems to be a mixture of all Abrihamic and Zoroastrian myths, but mostly Islam.
Because religion is a reflection of the culture that created it I see the practice of stoning as rooted in culture and turned into unquestionable dogma by religion. It's the fear of questioning one's religion/faith that perpetuates the ignorance required to believe in dogma. And a real fear that is, as this girl found out.

This is why GW rates so low yet he has influenced the entire planet greatly. Just because it is a negative influence doesn't make it less so.

I don't want to shoot you down cause I understand your admiration of some of the native religions here. Yet not all were peaceful nations many were war-centered but all were surely god worshipers.
What I admire is their simplistic view that was tinted with common sense. Indeed most of the native nations of the Americas had a natural "Morality" that was lacking in there dogmatic Christian conquerors. Being polluted by monotheistic Judaism and all.

Good post. I understand your point and I struggle with this daily. It's not a big struggle, I just some times have to remind myself of the world I live in and most of all to EMPATHIZE with my fellow humans. Anger and hate only hurts myself and the people around me. If exposing religion for what it is, is my goal then ridicule, pride, and contempt will get me no where. Empathy is my only chance at converting anyone. And remaining happy in the process.
