Voyeur journalism. Something I got from a Wash Post article today though, it showed just how normal their lives were compared to ours. You wouldnt know what ideas they had unless you were told.

Yeah when you believe that some invisible being in the sky is going to reward you in the afterlife all bets are off. Maybe it's a religion problem? All religion...not just Muslim

Religion is definitely at the root of much strife in the world. How much better it would be if people stopped believing in some invisible god and just believed in the large Flying Cloud.

What a sick comment. No acknowledgment of the fact that a man born in America did it and was likely the real influence here. I guess that is somehow secondary to bigots. Stop being such a fucking xenophobe GF.

I think it's the twisting of religion that's more of an issue from here. The pushing of it upon others, punishing those who believe differently. Most people of faith whom I know do not, did not, live their lives this way. While I can see some actions and words and contradictions deserving of mockery, those are the extremes. Most are peaceful and it's not my place to say it'd be best if they just stop believing (not that that's possible anyway).
This morning on the news was a story of a woman who survived the shooting. Her home was just burglarized in the midst of coping with this clusterfuck. Her daughter said they're relying on family and faith to get through what must be overwhelming on so many levels.

It's easy to dismiss because it is bullshit. Relying on faith too? They will be waiting a long fucking time for that. Family will get them through this, not faith, fuck that.

the politicization of the literal interpretation is the issue.

I am not a supporter of religion at all, but what you're saying doesn't make much sense. They don't have to wait for faith. They already seem to have it. Faith is not about waiting for a result. It is a psychological crutch and exists from moment to moment.

Too bad you chose to overlook the first part of what I wrote. It was in context of what was quoted.
Faith helped my father live through and come to grips with horrific loss and fighting in a war. I think it's bullshit to sweepingly call it bullshit. I'd not be here for such bullshit, among other surrounding bullshit.
But, it's your bullshit, so rant on. Not even offended (surprisingly so)!
In a way I envy people who have faith because it does seem to get them through. My father is a man of faith and his beliefs helped him get through the loss of his wife. I've seen faith work for a lot of people. We all find ways to get by. For me, it's being close to people I care about, music, books, and standing up for all things wild. For others it faith. For some others its pink flip flops and Cabbage Patch Kids. Whatever works is fine by me as it doesn't harm anyone else or get foisted off on someone else.

You're right gf guns don't kill people
Gun owners with legally purchased and registered guns kill people.
We all have different means of coping - or crutches, as PJ_Soul mentioned. Again, without flinging those means at others, insisting everyone else use them, I don't see the harm.
Whatever gets you through the night (and to your own personal light), it's alright.
^^^^ Right to choose, agreed. Kind of like you can choose to become a murderous martyr in the name of [removed by Admin] with your faith in being rewarded with multiple virgins in the afterlife, or You could choose to be normal and realize that your faith is bullshit about that. Thousands of cultures all have their own god - each is hoping that their faith in it is true. What exactly are the people who say that their faith is getting them through troubled times mean? What is it doing?
Claiming its gods plan that put you in misery and using faith in god to pull you out? WTF.

Nearly 750,000 hunters went deer hunting last week in Pennsylvania. Think about it, millions of rounds of ammunition and nearly 3/4 of a million firearms and not one mass shooting or murder. The vast vast majority of gun owners are responsible. It s the very small percentage as usual that fuck it up for everyone.

That chocolate bar comment is so rude. At least from my perspective.
As an agnostic, I have not used faith to get through dark days so I can't say how it's used. Perhaps others can. Maybe in the same ways that Brian mentioned earlier? Nature, music, etc. Writing. Something in which to find solace and comfort. Even strength.

I'm an atheist and generally religion creeps me out. However, I do not feel the need to mock others for their religion or to question the validity of their beliefs. If having faith or belief in a god helps them get through tough times in life then I say good for them. As long as their beliefs in no way interfere with my life then how can I possibly have a problem with it? Plenty, if not the majority of people of faith practice that faith without bothering anyone else. Who am I to try and interfere with that or to sneer at them for doing so?

We got into a convo at the bar the other night when someone said "These crazies stock pile 1000s of rounds of ammo" I laughed and got into with them saying you can buy a few boxes of range ammo and have yourself "1000s of rounds" it's that easy.For less then 100 bucks.
We need to enforce the laws we have to start with and do a better job with background checks.Another good start would be the media quit glorifying these events.but I agree with statement above.
^^^^ When you buy ammo in the US do you need to provide anything? (id, etc) Or can you just walk into a store and buy it?
It depends on the state. In nj you need a rifle/shotgun firearms identification card to buy handgun ammo. When you order online some places make you fax a copy of your liscense to prove you are over 18.

Thanks. Wasn't quite sure how that worked. Is there a state that you know of where you need nothing to buy?
