Al-Shabaab attacks Kenyan college: 6 things to know - CNN.com

"When the gunmen arrived at his dorm he could hear them opening doors and asking if the people who had hidden inside whether they were Muslims or Christians. "If you were a Christian, you were shot on the spot," Wetangula told The Associated Press. "With each blast of the gun I thought I was going to die.""

Honestly, if that happened to me I'd pretend to be a Muslim so that I could get the hell out of there.

Nighthawkeye, 147 dead would be a huge body count for a mass shooting. 14 dead is a lot more likely, especially if the group has hostages.

Have you been practicing your Arabic?

One way they like to distinguish is to provide warning in Arabic.

I don't write copy for Sky News. It's their claim. Only 14 killed seems like an awfully low body count for al Shabab considering that they sent suicide bombers in.

Edit: I see that Senator Cheese indicates additional sources now confirm 147 dead.

Am I missing something? I don't see any mention in any of these articles of the deliberate targeting of atheists.

to be fair, historically, atheists haven't done much to irk anyone.

And they have been a super minority until very recently.

Odd. Terrorist murder 147 people, mostly students, and it garners ten post to date.

Some lady in a pizza shop says she wouldn't cater a gay wedding if asked and it generates numerous threads and pages of debate, not to mention national outrage on the part of many sensitive, accepting, and diversity loving liberals.

Noting that the media often ignores stories about brown people killing other brown people in other countries.

Don't worry, when Christians kill Muslims, it doesn't even merit a thread.

Please, cite a few examples of Christians going to a Muslim university and murdering 147 unarmed children.

How about the Lord's Resistance Army. Here is an introduction:

The Lord’s Resistance Army began life in the early 1980’s as the Holy Spirit Movement, led by a woman called Alice Lakwena who claimed the Holy Spirit had ordered her to overthrow the Ugandan government.

The rebels often masquerade as military soldiers, or pounce as villagers gather together for occasions such as church services. They launch vicious attacks, killing the weak and the old with machetes, swords or stones, and cutting off people’s ears, lips and noses to serve as a warning to others.

The rebels capture those who can be useful to them, including children strong enough to carry weapons. The captives are tied together and marched to camps where they are violently indoctrinated and turned into soldiers, porters, cooks, or sex slaves. Captives are often forced to kill or rape family members, making it impossible for them to think about returning home. Those who do resist or try to escape are tortured and killed.

Please, show me the numerous threads on The Lord's Resistance Army's killings?
==========================

Or how about showing me the numerous threads (other than mine) on the hundreds of children Christian Pastors have tortured and burned to death as witches?

It occurs to me that righteous anger is a dangerous state of mind.

Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. “In your anger do not sin” : Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. ~ Eph 4: 25-27

Is stoking people's righteous anger a sin? Prolonging it past sundown? Reviving and reliving it?

Is there something characteristic of Christianity that keeps the anger that is not yet a sin from becoming a sin? A big one? An utterly terrifying one that considers all fair?

Is there something characteristic of Christianity that stokes anger past the point of sin?

Not exactly a university but young people were slaughtered by a confessing Christian. If memory serves a lot of those at the camp were Muslim (as well as Christian, and non-religious). That's mainly why he targeted there as I recall the case.

Breivik is another example of the left in general defining anyone who ever set foot inside a church as a Christian. Breivik was insane, as anyone who read even sections of his manifesto could attest to. Citing Breivik as an example of violent Christians is as apt as citing Bill Clinton as an example of a model husband.

How about the Lord's Resistance Army.

The Lord's Resistance Army was formed in opposition to the Uganda People's Defense Force, a group which had seized control of Uganda and used murder and rape as their chief policy of state.

By 2011 the LRA was said to be comprised of some 300 to 400 members. Citing the LRA as representative of Christianity is an incredibly lame argument.

Or how about showing me the numerous threads (other than mine) on the hundreds of children Christian Pastors have tortured and burned to death as witches?

Really? Hundreds of children?

If I deny God on Earth, he might deny me in heaven.

You don't become like saints, if you deny the Lord...oh, wait, Peter did it, more then once, probably would have died if he hadn't. Hmmmmm.:holy:

to be fair, historically, atheists haven't done much to irk anyone.

But not having a God doesn't save you from death when its Islam or die.
Denouncing all gods means denouncing their god.

They are not people to be feared because they are ruthless. Any human can be ruthless if they are encouraged to. Ruthless murderers need to be culled from society. Those that would kill innocence because they claim their god requires it, needs to be sent to meet thy god to recieve their just deserts.
