@ichbintantehallo - wrong to think like what? Listen more carefully to the lyrics, please. The song is saying "It's NOT religion that bothers me, it's the fact that people use religion as an excuse for injustice and inhumanity". Also, there isn't a single verse where Islam (or any other religion) is singled out, either positively or negatively - every religion mentioned is treated equally in this song. I think if you listen carefully, you will find that the song is actually agreeing with you. :)

I think Atheism is a pretty cool guy. He reflects on his actions and doesn't afraid of anything.

ok

I was too stupid so I deleted. It went along the lines of how offensive it was.

[MinersPalace]

what was the original comment?

[pineapplepenumbra]

Fair enough. I think ignorant of the nature of the book would be a more accurate summation than "stupid", you really don't strike me as stupid :-)

Would you like me to remove my last comment?

[Callum Bundy]

Never mind. I was stupid then.

"If the holy books religious people read were interpreted correctly people like Osama would never of risen to power and commenced Jihad."

Have you read the qur'an?

[Lioness DeWinter]

Excellent post, Robert. xx

lol

Correctly.

The whole point about religious texts is that they are ambiguous. In order to make anything out of them they need to be interpreted. But since they are so ambiguous they allow for many interpretations. There is not the correct one.

Google "pretty cool guy".
