Paris attack agendas
10 years ago
Am I the Soviet assassin bat! Hear my mighty squeak!
Nothing makes me more angry than people using a tragedy to bolster their own personal agenda, especially within only 24 hours. I've seen Republicans using this to attack gun control and immigration, which is mostly for easy votes (about like Benghazi), with some extremists calling for total war against Islam, which has a Nazi-like theme to it. This shows humanity hasn't improved much as a collective mentality for centuries.
I don't bring religion onto FA much, but a number of anti-theists are making a huge deal over the word "pray" in #prayforparis. You'd think that this would be a moment of uniting against an attempt to divide us, but no, people trying to turn this into a secular vs. religious conflict over a simple little word. I don't care what you believe or don't believe, but this isn't the time to further your religious or anti-religious agenda. Oddly enough, the people who are attacking prayer are doing nothing themselves but just saying "thoughts" instead of "pray"; whats the difference?
I don't let these things get to me much, but seeing people use the deaths of innocent people to further their own political and religious/anti-religious agendas really does piss me off. Your part of the problem, not fighting against it.
As for me, I shall return to work tomorrow and live life as normal...but I love you France! Stay strong and awesome :)

Secular means neutral towards religious matters, not for or against. It would be a violation for antitheists to take advantage of a secular government and force their own beliefs on people who do hot share their worldview.

It's doesn't actually, it just means worldly, you can still be completely against any superstitions and be secular.
