No one said that, cbayer. trotsky Oct 2014 #55

Andrea Yates was as much of a victim of religion as her children were kdmorris Oct 2014 #61

That she was a victim of that particular religion is not evidence cbayer Oct 2014 #62

Do you have a better phrase for that particular thing? cbayer Oct 2014 #80

If humanity had no concept whatever of Religion, people in this state might act out in other ways. AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #29

Do you think belief bvf Oct 2014 #34

I certainly think it factors into whether the person will seek help for their delusions. AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #35

Interesting. bvf Oct 2014 #36

I see. Or that if their act was considered unforgivable, that it might be 'worth it' to ensure AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #37

Lame cop-out AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #84

His audience just doubled. rug Oct 2014 #93

Rug? You and Cbayer always say this: even if crazy people quote religion, religion is not a cause Brettongarcia Oct 2014 #86

I see absolutely no reason prior attempts somehow disqualifies this from consideration as AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #83

It's, like, the police report, man. rug Oct 2014 #92

The police report is the best current source; and it quotes the perpetrators citing Religion Brettongarcia Oct 2014 #94

I'm sure the suicide attempts were a conscious decision, made after calm reflection. rug Oct 2014 #95
