    When I first heard of the bombing I did not initially think they would be Muslim.

    When I heard they were Muslim, honestly I was not surprised, but at the same time I felt bad for the Muslim people because this only further escalates America's hatred towards them.

    Same thoughts.

    It's sad. I met some really nice people who are Muslim at school. They were very nice people. Sadly some Muslims are just extremists and do such bad things. There are extremists in all religions who would kill for what they believe in. Speaking of this, I understand and see what you believe in the "hocus pocus" of religion. I totally disagree with your statement, but I just want you to know I understand what you mean.
    I'm agnostic so really don't know if theres a god or not, its just Americans sometimes don't see how we act as those that we despise. Peace

    You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense     - Present Tense

    I'm really thankful for the intelligence folks out there. Not sure I want to know their means of getting information though. Perhaps I'm an ostrich in that sense...

    (as to singing God Bless America, I see nothing wrong with it. Certainly not worth belitting it by pointing out some kind of irony. I'm guessing it was needed by the residents of Boston and if it helped to heal even one little whole caused by this fuckery, then so be it. Probably part of the grief process - and if not? None of my damned business)

    My god is better than your god, he blesses the USA and not the middle east, get those muslims and execute them. Yes its Ironic.
    I think you overlooked my point, maybe assumed a thing or three; it wasn't about being better or more worthy than others.

    Don't bash religion , especially if you are clueless about it.

    OH, Mylanta!

    With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

    I had an Ex, and he had a saying I couldn't argue with.

    "Muslims are almost as bad as Christians. "

    other days it was

    "Christians are almost as bad as Muslims"

    I just shrugged. If you can use religion as an excuse for evil, then you miss the point.

    I finally told him I was a Jew, and didn't care. "OMG, I'm with a kike? Can you get me tassels?"

    I'm not Hasidic you dumbask.

    In terms of terror attacks, I'm pretty sure the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan trump anything these two uptight brothers could ever manage to pull off.

    The terror that part of the world has inflicted against each other is far beyond anything I've seen.

    I am alive because my grandmother survived the holocaust. Only Her and her brother escaped. She has passed away. But I need to say it took her 15 years as an American citizen to say she was Jewish. And she only told the family.


    No one should live in fear or be ashamed of their religion. She had a closet she went in to celebrate the Jewish holidays. That's how scared she was.
