If you could find me a shooter that shot up a church because they wanted to dismantle the institution of christianity I'm happy to consider the ramifications of such rhetoric. I think you know there's a much more direct line between people that shoot muslims and the fear mongering that occurs about them than atheists saying that the institutions of religion should be destroyed and people shooting church goers. If you can make that connection though I'm happy to consider it. This isn't about blame, it's about trying to get to the root cause of a problem rather than letting things end with "wow what a crazy bastard, guess we can't do anything about it". Whether that's gun control, mental health, or trying to curb the overly fearful rhetoric around the group that he shot up. |
"If you could find me a shooter that shot up a church because they wanted to dismantle the institution of christianity "
that's not how this works, you made the argument that hostile rhetoric towards a group of people is enough to condemn the origin of that rhetoric if violence occurs towards that group of people
"I think my overall issue is that I believe there's a connection between people who fear monger about muslims and crazy people that shoot them."
church shootings as far as i know are typically perpetrated by atheists, off the top of my head dylan roof was an atheist
and obviously my first reaction is are you consistent?
"I think you know there's a much more direct line between people that shoot muslims and the fear mongering that occurs about them than atheists saying that the institutions of religion should be destroyed and people shooting church goers."
can you elaborate on that for me? giving your reasoning (which i disagree with) it seems to be the same thing to me
"This isn't about blame, it's about trying to get to the root cause of a problem"
first off i'd like to point out that i don't have a problem with any group of people myself including muslims once they do not try to control other groups of people
the root of the problem is fear over the demographics of the country changing which obviously candace owens commented on
but its a fact that the demographics of the country are changing and people are going to deal with that fact in different ways
some won't have a problem with it and may even embrace it, but other people like the atheists with christianity are fearful of the influence people with other ways of life may have on their lives
i've asked someone else this question and now i'll ask you, how would you feel if the influence of christianity was expanding rapidly?
