No such luck. The belligerent, intolerant, loud-mouthed, self-righteous atheists can be expected to (and have already) hold up such extreme and bizarre events as somehow representative of religion as a whole, and then smugly and condescendingly sneer at any and all people who don''t share what amounts to no more than their personal opinions.

As an atheist myself I can only see more danger in people who believe in fairy tales than in people who deal with the real world.
Religions offer an outlet for people who for some reason or another want to be in denial of the world around them and would rather live in their own world, and all for the sake of "god" as if "god" was some kind of boss we''re all accountable to.
It is this sense of being watched and judge that is so demented about religions regardless of how rational the believer seems to be.

janke: if those 2.2 billions christians have the same "interpretation" of the word of god, why are there so many different views within the christian community?

Each believer thinks his own interpretation is correct and true, and acts that out. The results are often hideous to civilized and rational folk, as exemplified by this story.

I am sure your interpretation is no more or less correct than anyone else''''s. Yet no doubt you will be unyielding in your certitude, as your "****" comments can attest to. Goodbye.

Just as some 2.2 billion christians have the same "interpretation" of the word of God, I also share in the consistant, invariable age old book of truth. Are they all wrong? or are you?

The mother in this case is clearly an adult and at that age should have a common knowledge of what is right or wrong. Regardless of the accusations that she was being guided by others, she still has a moral and ethical responsibility for the care of the child whom depended on her care. Shame on her, and shame on the cult. There are a lot of sick people in the world. What the hell is wrong with people!

Sounds like some of the Christian posters, too. And, all opinions are personal.

Let''s hope she (grandmother) doesn''t see that her grandsons death has become the stage in this forum for a debate on the Bible.

True intelligence (wisdom) will recognize the truth of the bible and the supremacy of God and will follow, the fool will turn his back to God , shun his word thereby causing his own demise.

Unbeleivable...a child has been murdered. His misguided mother has been charged.
A grandmother is mourning. Let''s hope she (grandmother) doesn''t see that her grandsons death has become the stage in this forum for a debate on the Bible. My thoughts and prayers go out to this family.

the truth of the cross of Jesus Christ and WHY He died on that cross. Posted by noseonurface


I am pretty sure it was because God had borrowed money from the Mafia and then refused to repay it.
