In the name of God

This which I tell you, this which I show you in this book, is the word of God. God favors us, the righteous, and he commands us to convert the infidels, or slay them. There are no innocents. If you die in the service of God, you will be rewarded in heaven.

You may think the above is a mindset unique to the Islamic way of thinking. You'd be wrong. There are many "Christians" who think the Lord Almighty hands to them pretty much the same directive. They might paint their justifications in a slightly different color, but when it all boils down to it......a bomb is a bomb.

Bombs are indiscrimament. They do not distinguish between the righteous and the favored. They simply do their thing, they blow up. Park a Pope next to one, and he dies. Same for a Mullah. Or a three year old toddler.

What makes me laugh at these pathetic excuses for sentient beings is the great big, all-so-obvious question you will never hear them answer: If this big bad God of theirs who wants things done just so is really so Omnipotent.......what in the hell does he need them for? They claim he knows all, sees all, is capable of anything, yet they pay him the worst blasphemy imaginable.......that he isn't capable of setting things right himself.

Imagine if you will, the devout suicide bomber showing up at the palace of Allah, expecting his 70 virgins. Imagine said idiot getting his 70 virgins.......virginal for good reason. Imagine getting to share all eternity in the company of the ugliest, foulest and shrillest champion naggers of all time. Imagine them all having been murdered by him or his companions, or having had a loved one die by his methods.

Do you truly dare claim to know the mind of God?

Wow!!! This one got me. I have recently been rewarded with viewing photos from Iraq. Ex is on leave and wanted to share his collection. And yes, bombs do not discriminate. It takes only one photo of a child's face blown off like a piece of tissue paper in order to see that there is no greater plan dictated by an all knowing deity dolling out justice and rewards.
Hope that doesn't seem too harsh. I'm in a dark place having just seen the photos.
