Yosi made a good point in the other thread about ideologies being the problem.
Religions are o.k until they are misused.
Communism also looks good on paper but in practice it becomes too easy for those in control to abuse the power they have - Lenin, Stalin, Mao Tse Dong.
As soon as an ideology allows someone to commit an act of murder then we have a problem.
Theodor Adorno wrote a pretty difficult-to-read book on this subject called Negative Dialectics, in which he basically posited that we should resist all ideologies as they are inherently dangerous and lead to the gas chambers. We should not allow any creed or ideology lead us beyond our basic humanity.

I think ideologies become problems when they enable someone to think that they're better than someone else, killing is just the extreme outcome. I haven't read Adrono. It's an interesting idea but begging a question: is basic humanity defined universally? Is everyone born with same basic belief system? Dawkins would probably argue yes, but I'm not so sure.

'Belief systems' - i.e, ideologies - are the problem. Belief systems & ideologies are what allow people to justify mass murder. But all belief systems are ephemeral - temporal - and finally end up being made redundant.
There's something fundamental about humans that has nothing to do with where our rationality often leads us in our search for a crutch - something simpler and truer than any creed, dogma, or ideology. 'Negative Dialectics' involves constant questioning, and never stopping at a fixed point from which we can elevate ourselves above others. It requires a perpetual revolution of the mind.

Let's kill the ones that are doing the killing. Because they won't hesitate to cutoff your head or your children. Weather your atheist or not they want your head.

Murder the murderer?
I don't believe this would solve anything, and it certainly wouldn't place you in any loftier position above the original murderer.
Capital punishment is the sickest of all sick things.
or else should move. We are all responsible for what the governement and leaders do. My guess is that you only grow your own food from seed and ride a bicycle everywhere and have no apple products? right. I think not.
So that takes away what they are doing now. I love people that live in the past. people should be beyond this, not having another religion start it all over again. enough with what happened 500 years ago. get a clue.
I need to get a clue? Here's a clue for you which I hope you can comprehend: The Iraq war isn't the past, it's the present.

your anger is justified, but this is the synopsis of extreme violence throughout human history. To make a change, for a paradigm shift, there has to be evolution of emotional actions and reactions. We have to move BEYOND emotion and even beyond being controlled by our rational minds that have produced ham-fisted pragmatist dullness and our competitive nature...
we must evolve to the point where we realize we are all equals and all one organism that needs to work together for the betterment of us all (not one person left behind) instead of raping and killing each other and the planet that gives us life.
Evolution of consciousness.... GO. :!:
Everything not forbidden is compulsory and eveything not compulsory is forbidden. You are free... free to do what the government says you can do.

Like Maybe not so much an evolution of consciousness, rather 'the raising of consciousness', so remember friend, even early man (naturally) had the basic truth of working together and living within a balanced system.
and Lowering our ego will raise our consciousness.
Life is all about balance, harmony, like a musical instrument. Tune it too much in any direction and you tend to lose the balance, the harmony. But when the balance is found, and a note is hit, Played just right, how sweet the sound?
Are there as many forms of the devil as there are religions in the world?
Do most religions even recognize a devil?
It seems that there are so many religions and so many Gods, but the devil has remained somewhat consistent through the centuries. Something to think about... Maybe we spend too much time on Gods, and all the while, we are creating our own devils, death, destruction, and wars. :twisted:

A lady Canadian libertarian wrote a lot of letters to the government,
complaining about the treatment of captive insurgents (terrorists)
being held in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities.
She received back the following reply:
National Defense Headquarters
M Gen George R. Pearkes Bldg, 15 NT

Ottawa , ON K1A 0K2
Canada
Dear Concerned Citizen,
Thank you for your recent letter expressing your profound concern of
treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists captured by Canadian
Forces who were subsequently transferred to the Afghanistan
Government and are currently being held by Afghan officials in
Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities.
Our administration takes these matters seriously and your opinions were
heard loud and clear here in Ottawa.
You will be pleased to learn, thanks to the concerns of citizens like
yourself; we are creating a new department here at the Department of
National De fence, to be called 'Liberals Accept Responsibility for
Killers' program, or L.A.R.K. for short.
In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided
to divert one terrorist and place him in your personal care.
Your personal detainee has been selected and is scheduled for
transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence in Toronto
next Monday.
Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud (you can just call him Ahmed) is to be
cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your
letter of complaint.
It will likely be necessary for you to hire some assistant caretakers.
We will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of
care for Ahmed are commensurate with those you so strongly recommend in
your letter.
Although Ahmed is a sociopath and extremely violent, we hope that your
sensitivity to what you described as his 'attitudinal problem' will
help him overcome these character flaws.
Perhaps you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural
differences.
We understand that you plan to offer counseling and home schooling.
Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat
and can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or
nail clippers.
We advise that you do not ask him to demonstrate these skills at your
next yoga group.
He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from
common household products, so you may wish to keep those items locked
up, unless (in your opinion) this might offend him.
Ahmed will not wish to interact with you or your daughters (except
sexually) since he views females as a subhuman form of property.
This is a particularly sensitive subject for him and he has been
known to show violent tendencies around women who fail to comply with
the new dress code that he will "recommend" as more appropriate attire.
I'm sure you will come to enjoy the anonymity offered by the burka
over time. Just remember that it is all part of 'respecting his
culture and religious beliefs' as described in your letter.
Thanks again for your concern. We truly appreciate it when folks like
you keep us informed of the proper way to do our job and care for our
fellow man.
You take good care of Ahmed and remember we'll be watching.
Good luck.
Cordially,
Gordon O'Connor

Just what I was thinking. It's based on a simplistic (and I think, often deliberate) misinterpretation of what we're saying. It goes out of the way to try to be glib and critical, but really just illustrates how people who think up stuff like this profoundly and fundamentally miss the point.

If these so-called 'terrorists' captured in Afghanistan and held in Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo are such obviously dangerous criminals, then why have next to none of them been charged with anything after years of detention and interrogation?
Not that I mean to burst the bubble of your silly fantasy above, Godfather, but if you can please provide me with an answer to this question I'll be grateful.
