Grant comfort to her bereaved, hope to her grieving, wisdom to her leaders. I don't know what else to say.

You summed it up well, bald eagle.

We all have a deep thought for the Americans.

Yesterday, on tv we could see Extremists' happiness in front of such an awful event. I was totally shocked and scared at the same time.

Now what will be the consequences for the world?

Let's leave all the gods out of this, they've already caused enough trouble. The only reason for this "event" as it's being called is religious beliefs not being reconciled. And who can say that anyone's imaginary friend is more right than another's?

Let's remember that Woody wrote "This Land" in an angry response to this very song. I'm with Woody.

Mrrzy,

Its not so much Religion, as the things those claiming to be Religeous do, in its name... its what those 'invisible friends' are whispering in their ears, or what they CLAIM they are getting whispered to them.

Religion can draw a line between two people, or between two Peoples......if you see what I mean. Then it becomes easier for them, to see the people on the other side of that line as 'less' in whatever way, than themselves...
