WTF???

General
Sorry I've been quiet again lately. I was sick all last week--really bad cold. No, it wasn't swine flu--but it still kicked my ass all over the place! Good thing I had lots of sick and vaca time saved up (in spite of Bel's recent medical adventure), because I ended up haven't to stay home all last week. The REALLY annoying thing is that I couldn't even manage to get anything done because I was so miserable and exhausted the whole time. I had been hoping to take some vacation time off to do some work...but instead it all got used up and I didn't even get to enjoy any of it.
MEANWHILE, as I am busy being a pathetic lump I hear about this Fort Hood shooting. I was surprised it took me a few days to hear about it, but I hadn't really been watching the news and not being on the computer, I wasn't even seeing Yahoo news bulletins, so I came to the story late. By then they knew what had happened and had time to dig up all this stuff about the shooter that made me wonder what the hell the DOD does with it's time! Apparently there should have been red flags all over this guy--he was in contact with radical groups and religious leaders and the Army seems to have even KNOWN about it! But hind-sight is always 20/20, so I'm not even going to go there. What I am really interested in understanding is:
What the FUCK is wrong with these people??? I mean seriously, how does a guy even get to a point where he thinks it's OK and even a GOOD thing to go and murder lots of people? FOR RELIGIOUS REASONS, no less! I honestly cannot understand how these psychotic pinheads even have the audacity to define themselves as moral human beings. If there REALLY was a god, who really cared so much about what we mere created types think of Him, I think that he'd get off His Holy Ass and smite the FUCK out of these dickheads! At the very least, their Jihad bullshit should be worth a plague or two. I mean, come on! This is a god who supposedly dooms otherwise moral people to Hell for being queer...it seems he should really take offense to being used as an excuse for cold-blooded murder.
Sorry...I just honestly will never be able to grasp how otherwise rational people can allow themselves to be manipulated to the point where these sick, extremist ideas are somehow justifiable. Because they aren't. Ever. Period. Whether it's murdering soldiers or picketing funerals, it all comes down to one simple thing--HATE. Nothing else.

iunno to much shit going on lately around here X.X;
The one I read that was published in 1957 did not have Jihad as the goal, mainly because every generation the Quran is re-written. Something Moslems always change the subject and quote from their current version that what I know to be true cannot be.Eeach generation all moslems are to turn in their old Korans and burn them. everybody is given new Korans.
In comparison the bible was re-written in the early 70's but so many Christians saw it as having the wrong message no one refers to it and instead most every denomination follows the King James version. It was called "Good news for the modern Man".
In the middle 1840's a lay preacher (backwoods ministry educated) reinterpreted the Kind James to say that God hates all Homosexuals, which is wrong God doesn't nor did, Peter, Paul or Emmanual (Jesus is a Greek name for Christ) have anything directly against someone being Gay or not. However through out the Bible God does hate rapists, murderers and people that intend to make a person stray from worship of Him. But you're supposed to let them try since 'Jesus' is the God of peace and Love so you have to allow the murderers and rapists run their course and just 'turn the other cheek'.
Myself deciding and finding nothing against being Gay, I am still pissed off at anyone that thinks "they know the Bible or what God wants better than I do" and wants me to live the way they want me too to be just more reinterpretation ie Bullshit. I refuse, I resist and God hasn't killed me yet so even by their standards He must agree with both you and me on being gay is okay since by its nature we love men more literally than anyone else does.
Moslems hate everybody not them and want the world to die completely so that they can live forever in Moslem heaven, period.
So politically we turn the other cheek since it is Christian, and allow these assholes to murder innocent people. We Americans by our own Constitution allow freedom of religion and allow assholes like this murderer to live here and be a Moslem Jihadist first and an American second. And in places like New York city only criminals can own guns. And places like St.Louis and Detroit it takes the police three hours to respond to a call for help versus someone with a gun.
The Democrats answer for the problems in America is more and bigger government and more lawsuits instead of allowing its citizens to just carry weapons to protect yourself from criminals and murderous religious bastards, until the cops arrive. I learned something that is above tenth degree black belt in Tai-chi and Karate so if I am within five feet of a bastard he isn't going to win. otherwise I'm at the same disadvantage as everyone else is because I don't carry a gun. There would be less murders in life and less Americans getting killed if everyone just carried a weapon or knew what I do in self defense.
Also their would be a lot less problems if there were no religions at all in the world and no cultural hatreds kept alive by hateful bastards pissed off about something that happened 200 or so years ago.
God has for each of us to make ourselves more pure individually and when our bodies die on this plane of existence and we dissolve ourselves back into Him making him greater than He was before. That is the only truth everything else is man's invention. I can't do this for anyone but me, and everybody has to do it for themselves otherwise they'll keep reincarnating until they do. That's it, everything else is bullshit.
Mohameed invented a religion to make himself special and you only have his word that all that Gabriel stuff happened in a cave somewhere in the Saharan desert. Plus when he died he never had any intention of his religion living beyond his lifetime. other leaders and kings saw it as a good dodge and played it to control their own little worlds and rewrote their 'holy book' every generation to keep control over the faithful.
So that assholes like this guy in Fort Hood can kill Americans instead of his fellow Moslems that want everyone else in the world to die too, instead.
Islam is Satanic in its method and the way ALL of its followers live.
There is nothing peaceful or good about Islam, there is nothing the Quran allows for people to worship their version of God in any other way - hence it is more satanic than Satanism is!
also i note they never discuss the radical Christian elements that go in and go over wanting to kill as many muslims as possible. or anyone really. Or any of the other people of radical thought they recruit. No he was a muslim so that must be it. not that they do anything to anyone.
It's true that this could be more of a case of a guy just going "postal". However, the fact that he'd been in contact with dangerous radical "religious" leaders beforehand should not be overlooked. That HAD to have contributed to the internal conflict that broke down his sanity.
and yeah there are such christians in the military. it is part of what the fundies want. i should know i used to be one... when they sing onward christian soilders they mean it literally. gays and others are not even human in their teachings. Note this has nothing to do with MOST Christians though a lot of them seem lost anymore but JUST the really psycho portions. like the fundamentalists. they often wanted us to get this kind of training for when it came time to fight and kill all the sinners in the name of God. so yeah.. they are there with multilevel agendas and they beleive much like the muslims that they get a got to heaven and get to sit with Jesus card for dying for the cause...
I admit I don't know much about Islam as a religion. I generally disregard ANY cult that is so mired in dogmatic bullshit that they have to wear special clothes and worship in such specific and pointless ways--and that includes Judaism and Christianity. I have difficulty equating a being who can create a universe as huge and varied and awesome as this with most of the childish, selfish and belligerent behavior attributed to "God". And if these extremist whack-jobs are the only ones who are going to be in "heaven" then I definitely don't want to go there!
