Ok. I asked a question about how do you feel about terrorism? I reead all of the remarks and I agree we do live in a sick world. Now I want to know who is to blame? I think that it is mainly the people who pretend to care, but in reality they do not care at all.

Hmm... I don't want to start a huge debate, but I think religion is to blame. If religion didn't exist a lot of this stuff wouldn't happen.
Peace, Rotae

all religion is, is an excuse....an excuse to cover up the fact that not everything is logical or can be explained. Allah or God or...whoever/whatever do not tell us what to do, its our own consciences and morals...if people do things like suicide bomb a place full of innocent people its because they want to have power over people and just blame their 'god' as a measly excuse as to why theyve done it...because if they admitted the truth that they are just completely fked in the head then......
ok i wont get started properly....i'll be here all day

She didn't mention Muslims. She meant anyone who kills someone in the name of a 'God' is just saying it for an excuse.

yup. nowhere i didn mention any named religion or religious followers because that is just following a trend and blaming a stereotype...all i mean is, like rotae said, those who use their faith/belief system as an excuse or a reason for going round and killing innocent people (be it bombs, suicide bombs, 'jesus told me to shoot them', 'it said so in the bible etc')
i wasnt singling any specific religion out, it could be devout christians who follow gods work, it could be extremist muslims, it could be a jew lashing out at nazis...i dont know....thats why i was ambiguous with my reply.
Hence why i dont want to get started on this whole debate because it is a passionate one and no matter what anyone says it can be taken the wrong way or hurt someones feeling, upset them...
me being a non-believer of any kind of higher power doesnt make me better than those who believe...it just makes me passionate about my side of the argument. Which is fine, i dont mind people arguing their side and their reasons for things...but its those who take things too far and beyond the moral code of human ethics.
EDIT - and in the end, no matter who/what we believe in, we're all the same...we're all just humans trying to survive in the same world.

In the National Census, I put my religion as "Jedi" lol. I think we could learn a lot from the ways of the Force... Peace over Anger, Honour over Hate, Strength over Fear...
But really, deep down, once you get past my Jedi clothing, I'm an athiest.

You may scoff! But one day I will perfect these platform shoes! One day I see a world full of stupid shoes. Clogs! Mochasens! Bond shoes with a compass in the heel! Clown shoes this long!!
Heh... yeah.. sorry.

lol
i just took the religions of both my parents, but i'm not a very religious person, neither are my parents - i am open to beliefs and cultures, but if they try to pressure me into believing their idealogies, i back off straight away...
