  Any Atheist Hijackers?

  by patio34 in

  greetings and felicitations,.

  just a quick thought: would an atheist ever be a suicide hijacker/bomber?

  i think not, because an atheist would not believe they would be in heaven/paradise, etc.

  Pat, you have a good point. So many have died and so many have killed all in the name of religion. I heard a woman on the news today who is from Palastine, but lived here and sent her kids to college here.

  She made a comment I thought was so profound.
  I can't quote her directly, but will try to paraphrase what she said....
  Any people who think they have divine guidance, a direct pipeline to God, and think God has directed them to do certain things, will think they have a right to do anything under the sun, to further their cause.

  And a quote I read before and also saw posted here, but can't remember where, is so true.....(On going to war over religion:)

  "You're basically killing each other
  to see who's got the better imaginary friend."

  I am very sorry, dim, I couldn't remember where it was and I just felt it was important that I have Catholic friends, and a Mormon friend, and the only person I heard say something so stupid was my niece. I'm sorry if you had to read something more than once.

  Of course, you will automatically think of any family members or persons you know. But to just say you hope people of a certain religion are alright, (of course until I pointed out to her there were lots of other people who lost their lives..which she THEN said, "Yeah, them too.")shows that you don't care about "worldly" people.

  I will, Kent. I also am attending a candlelight vigil tonight in Chicago. I have also given blood, and people in my neighborhood are getting up donations, clothing and food.

  If I could do more, I would. Fred, I guess maybe us so-called "apostates" might help after all. Did you give blood?

  What I heard the JW's say in light of this tragedy

  okay, i know (or want to believe) that not all jehovah's witnesses are this calloused.

  at least i hope not.

  there are some good, caring people, but here are some stark contrasts i've observed today that remind me of how glad i am that i'm not part of such an overall unloving group of people.

  Yes, wiz, I have to agree with julien. Think about all the jws who have died (actually been murdered) because they needed an organ transplant, or blood. Think about all the jws who were slaughtered in Malawi because of an "old light" law, while the Mexican bros. were allowed to have a political card. I watched my best friend's father die in the 70's because he "couldn't" have a liver transplant.
  Think about all the children who have been murdered by their jw parents because they weren't allowed blood OR blood factions (which are now allowed).

  Did they ever apologize to the wives, brothers, daughters and sons for these people who DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE?????????
  Did they ever offer any recompense to the families who were torn apart?
  No, like julien said, they rewrite history or screw in a new light bulb.

  A Mormon watching TV at home...."I hope no Mormons were in the buildings."

  A Baptist woman watching from across town...."I hope no Baptists died in the tragady."

  A Protestant preacher on Sunday..."I hope no Protestants got hurt."

  A Pentacostal Holiness youngster watching the mayhem...."I hope no Holiness were in the crowd."

  My JW niece on the phone...."I hope the bros. and sisters at Bethel are okay."

  I only heard with my own ears, the last statement. When you think of people of other religions saying these things, it seems beyond ridiculous.

  Sorry, but this is straight from the "horses mouth."
  My niece (JW) called me today. The first thing she said was, "I'm glad none of the Bethelites got hurt." I hung up on her. The callousness they show is just as bad as the kids dancing in the street taking candy and saying..."God is good."

  Is my heart "treacherous?" Is my conscience hardened? How can that be when I care about both the brothers and sisters at Bethel AND the innocent victims who perished?
