RE: When there are no words...

in #rip5 years ago

I drink and enjoy it in a responsible way. Drinking itself isn't the problem just as guns aren't the problem, nor are Muslim's the problem. There are plenty who believe the world should be rid of all 3 of those things because "booze kills people" or because "guns kill people" or because "Muslim's kill people".

Yet a rational person knows that none of those things nor a religion kill people. It takes people using things in a bad way or twisting the words of a religion to then kill people. Do each of these things make killing others easier, absolutely they do. Booze impairs you, Guns are a tool that make killing easier, and Religion (not just your religion) all false prophets to twist words and make susceptible people believe they are acting in the name of "God". Would banning Booze, Guns, and Religion save lives...maybe....but I think not as those who kill would likely just find another way to get messed up, use a different tool to kill, or find another self justification as to why killing is ok.

In case that wasn't clear I have no issue with anyone choosing to believe in their choice of God or Gods. But honestly preaching about part of your religion in a time like this just isn't appropriate IMO.
