the concept of faith is that you choose to believe in something with absolutely no evidence to support it, right? I totally understand it.

Football fans do not suggest that say West Ham manager Slaven Bilic made the world, made the uiniverse, invented people and is all powerful and there is nothing he cannot do.

They more just hope he can keep west ham in the prem and maybe win a cup

Its not the same

Religion caused the deaths and the sooner people realise the better. Hopefully it will save lives in the future. I make no apology for digs at a disgusting affront to humanity that is organised religion.

As a rule I would agree with this in the main, I'm not the biggest fan of organised religion either. Yet I don't feel they should be denied compassion and empathy because they are religious.

The point we are making is that they are dead because of "God"


Its a point worth making or all you get is 2 pages of RIPs

this is serious debates and not some remembrance book


They people were going to a wall to throw stones at it as it represents "the devil"


Surely that is worhy of debate as is their pointless deaths

I know what section of the forum this is thanks. And i'm repeating that this is a thread about hundreds of people dying NOT a religious debate.
