You're right. It's not the same. Because I had no one to indoctrinate me and brainwash me into ignoring specific parts of the religion. I can go into a religion with a clean slate and an open mind. I can see the good and the evil without prejudice.
And what I've found is that God/Allah based religions are horrible things that promote rape, sexism, slavery, and murder.
And @Kawaii Cupcakes, I don't care about the reason. The God of that religion is still demanding that his people slaughter others. That is not a religion of peace. It's like that part of the Bible where God tells his followers to kill infants, fetuses, and mothers who are pregnant. I don't care about the reason for it. He still ordered his followers to kill people. He flooded the world. God/Allah is a man of murder, and you can't see it because you were raised in an environment that conditioned you to think that his violence was love.
You know what we normal people call that? Abuse.
We wouldn't have to worry about Isis and other crap like that if people didn't still believe in stories your parents used to scare you with in order to make you behave as a child.
It's okay, I don't really get offended. I'm pretty sure it's possible to respect the deceased and those in danger while still making conversation with chums. Obviously if no one ever discusses these issues they will never be solved. Your ideology really reminds me of Stephen Harper's to be completely honest. No offense.
i know it wasn't directed at you

Good grief.
Now, one things I do not want is to for anyone to be offended in the thread. While I don't tolerate terrorism either, this could offend people of any religion, really.
i can't imagine how much more vulnerable people who follow the religion of islam will feel, how many more unprovoked attacks they will now receive on a daily basis (where i live it's frighteningly common), how people are ignorant about their religion. please stop. we understand you don't agree with religion, this is not the place for it.
I didn't even say it was already an argument, are you even reading what I'm posting? I stated my own personal concerns, that this would become a nasty fight. I'm really sorry if that's wrong of me.

I agree with this statement. Islam is the second most religion followed in the world, there's no telling what kind of effect this attack will have on it. 9/11 already affected the treatment of Muslims bad enough.

Threads wouldn't be so bad if people didn't think so black and white, and didn't just aim to attack anyone with an opposing view.
On topic, I don't think we'll get answers for a while. The French government is going to have to sort this out. So be wary of any news we get for the next few days.

Yeah it's pretty terrible. While these terrorists targeted innocent people directly, they also did the same indirectly to people who follow Islam as they will be treated very poorly when in reality they are completely innocent, just like the people who died.

Good grief.
Apparently the exact death count is unknown.

And it will be. Some missing are dead, and some will die in hospital. Death counts can't be accurate until after the fact.
and singling out every person that follows something you don't agree with as an idiot that has full responsibility for an extremist faction's actions makes you the better person
for someone who can apparently tell the difference between good and evil, you sure fail hard at judging yourself
you know what normal people call that? hypocritical

My heart hurts. This is so awful. All of France has my prayers, as well as those surrounding. I can only hope not many more will die. My best of wishes to everyone. Stay safe.

Funny, I don't remember calling anyone an idiot, or saying that I was better than anyone else.
Everyone is capable of seeing good and evil, unless they have some sort of mental problem. Like sociopaths or something. Hitler killed millions of people. Evil. My high school English teacher adopted three children and had us do fund raisers for them when their parents died within a year of each other. Good.
But religion is designed to be done by indoctrinating children too young to understand what they are learning. That's how religion goes on. Getting them involved when they cannot see good an evil. They only know to follow what their parents taught them. And so they grow up believing that God is good, rather than seeing the truth. Religion is a tool used to control people through fear. And it leads to things like what's going down in the Middle East. Or what happened during the Dark Ages.

My roommate and I were horrified to find this in the news. :/ I really hope people don't blame parties who are not responsible for the tragedy such as Muslims and the refugees. I'll be watching and praying as the story unfolds. I hope everyone stays safe.
