Diderot once said something along the lines of, "Mankind will never know peace until the last king is strangled with the guts of the last priest."

Egregious examples of barbaric credos evidenced in the three Abrahamic religions are numerous. Critical differences in so-called testimonies were pooh-poohed as "errors" in "interpretation of thinking about life and how to live it, with little emphasis on a deity.

All religions relying on giving one's life to such deities, however, suffer the added danger of submitting to intermediaries, like Diderot's priest, who, in their own zest for living, gleefully consign even 10 year old girls and people to suicidal deaths for "the cause" so they can live their gnarled and twisted realities. All the while swearing it's all for peace.

So what's the big picture? I mean broadly speaking, why do fundamentalists of all stripes have such hang-ups with 'non-believers'? Does mocking them actually solve the problem or get to the root of the problem of fundamentalist thought patterns?

What Charlie Hebdo and others should do is serious journalism about the process of faith and belief. They should clarify what is the difference between moderates who are serious about their faith and will defend it within reason, yet always non-violent, and those who apparently see religion and politics as a tool to enforce their worldview against an unwilling populace.

Don't shout , threaten, convert or proselytize....persuade me

Thread yako inadhihirisha uzezeta tulionao WaTZ. Unafikiriaje kuandika katika lugh ambayo hadhira itakayokuelewa ni asilimia 5 mpaka 10 tu. Kuna haja ya kukusaidia ushauri wa kwenda kupima ukichaa wako, yawezekana ukichaa wako unaongezeka siku hadi siku. Kacheki pls.

Atakuwa ame copy na ku-paste from somewhere!

Hii ndiyo waandishi wanaita plagiarism (not acknowledging the source)
 
Yes, these are comments made by people like your very good self, just like the ones you just made, plagiarism inclusive. Do your research and you might just find out. Unfortunately, you are departing from the subject at hand. In the wake of massacres in France, I for one had hoped and looked for SYMPATHY from certain quarters,our very own Foreign Ministry inclusive in condemnation of such wanton barbarism. Simply said, a massacre remains a massacre. How on earth do you condemn one and reamain laisez faire on others?
Food for thought: I didnt know the satirical figure subject of upcoming Charlie Hebdo issue was alsoi a Pizza Chef.
