I don't think any of us on this side of the argument are inciting hatred. We're inciting ridicule.
I'm sure you understand that when I call your friend an idiot (and bacon sarnies notwithstanding that is what he is) it has nothing do with the colour of skin and is entirely based on his childish beliefs.
Well @Campbell2 clearly has faith without any evidence that I am Erica so I do hope you're not ridiculing his beliefs there Darth?
Bit disappointed that none of you have gone with the obvious Spartacus gag of saying 'I'm Erica' to confound Campbell for comedy purposes.
-The Metaphora is about Definition; actually Meta (Half-) Amphora( Wine Jug)-is about the interesting question if You have all the knowledge or only HALF the knowledge You need to make a complete whatever that represents..!
The chap yesterday seemed to have more in common with some of the loner, psychologically disturbed gun-toting individuals who create mayhem from time to time in the US than some kind of religious wahhabism.
If someone chooses to kill anyone, they must have mental issues or be desperate in some way, shape or form. It's interesting that many of them have been on some mental health provider's radar somewhere at some point or another, and others have been on an FBI or Interpol watchlist. Of course there are exceptions. The Nice lorry/truck driver slept with men, drank and did drugs according to evidence from his phone. Hardly a 'good Muslim'. So there are no easy answers here.
I had to read that twice before I realised you were talking about the nutter in Munich not @Campbell2 or @MyNameIsBondRN!
I think it's important to remember that no matter how convicted you are in your own beliefs, or lack of, there's a good chance that you are completely wrong about everything.
I've had a number of long, drunken conversations with my friend in question, explaining to him why I think the notion of any God is absurd and laughable and he needs to think for himself etc etc. But I'll never really know what motivates a person to hold such faith, and I think it would be ignorant to just assume it's idiocy when he is otherwise a very intelligent individual.
I tend to find that life is smoother when you treat people with respect rather than ridicule, no matter how ridiculous you think their beliefs are. You'll probably have an easier time bringing them round to your way of thinking if you don't charge in with insults and outrage.
-Jaws; At first I really did think the same as You express here; then, after my travels I experienced things that I could not explain in any way or form.It was somewhat centric
in my travels for example the Deadly weatherpattern in my Path; I could pass that without Peril while others Perished quite close by.Then I realized that something else decided if I should live or if I should die..A chocking experience in itself.I am now more than half a century old, and many moments in many countries could have seen the end of my existence. But I have always learnt that knowledge could minimise the risk Greatly; Solutions needs Knowledge.But One needs COMMUNICATION to bridge the knowledge and The Corresponding Language for that knowledge to be fully understood. If You reject knowledge, then You reject one of the very tools that You will need to avoid pitfalls such that we are talking about here.
Well that's a pretty lame excuse! That's relativism, both moral and intellectual. How do you work to make sure you are right about as many things as possible and wrong about as few things as possible? I'm telling you, it's not by following "revealed" "truths" and religious dogmas. It's by investigation and exercising critical thinking. You can still get it wrong but you've got more chances of success. Your friend has no good reason to believe in God or follow a faith which tenants he also rejects in parts through cherry picking. And you'd be justified to call him on that. Sure he might be right and we are wrong. The Islamist might be right, so might the Creationist, but evidences and reality are not on their side.
A man wielding a machete killed a woman and wounded two other people in the southern German city of Reutlingen on Sunday before being arrested, the Bild newspaper reported.
No further details were immediately available.

the Victims.
Not every crime is a terrorist attack. Could just be a standard nutter or some bloke who snapped because his missus was nagging him to take the rubbish out.

Time for Grexit.
Time for Merkxit more like. She's done enough harm for her country and Europe.
Time for her to take her Angeleave?
They are two different people. That was always clear.
@ambler is long gone from these boards. He pops up occasionally at another Bond location.
@ambler is a giant IMO in the online Bond community. He knows his Fleming and the Bond films thoroughly, as most of us do, but what distinguishes him, is that he brooks no foolishness. His wit is unmatched, his prose effortless. His observations sharp. His arguments always coherent, often enlightening. He is brazen, provocative, abrasive.
He crushes any stupidity tossed his way with extreme prejudice. He thoroughly demolishes those brandishing pc pretentions. He is arguably, the sharpest knife in the drawer, in all of on-line Bondom.
And articulate. He could clean up any of our posts for punctuation and grammar including this one.
He and @khanners are probably the two smartest people I have met anywhere, and they are both of Bondom which does say something for the quality appeal of Fleming.
Yes I do I have a small statue of the great Ambler's imagined likeness on my desk :)
So yes my radar does alert, at any mention of the great @ambler name.
So I can only surmise that @campbell, having been skewered by @ambler somewhere in his past, and now getting an @ambler like treatment from the rambunctious @wiz, mistakenly confused the two.
So really quite an honor was bestowed upon the feisty @wiz -to have been mistaken for the legend that is @ericaambler. @wiz can put that on his CV.
If it's all the same with you I won't be adding 'confusing an idiot' to my resume.
Campbell is clearly not all there but he's not mental enough to think NSF is a good book.
