Subject: RE: BS: Darwin's Witnesses
A question for you. Why say "for his religion?" Surely the crime lies in the blowing up rather than the religion.

Do you not read the news, Jack? Or at least listen to it on TV?

Almost every day of the week there are examples of people who say that they committed no crime when they killed and maimed others. The excuse is that they were fighting a war for their religion. I could link to dozens but as an example how about Michael Adebolajo who not only says he is a 'soldier of Allah' but also 'denied murder and described the killing as a "military operation".' He says it was "for his religion" along with dozens if not hundreds of others.

And there is still not one single example of anyone killing on behalf of Richard Dawkins. Or any other scientist for that matter. It was you who posted the opening cartoon. It was you who commented that it was funny. That being the case maybe YOU can explain how science is as bad as religion?

And do please stop this nonsense about rules. If Max or anyone else that mattered were bothered, they would do something about it.
