So...if those that attacked in Paris aren't "real" muslims, and KKK isn't "real" christians

16. Can I throw a fly in the ointment for a second?

Just for conversation...

Are all Muslims equal? all Christians? all Jews?

I would imagine if a believer in any of the myths were confronted with acts by people of their own myth that are not acts they condone, they would have to defend themselves and their beliefs with a logical fallacy just to survive. Any logical fallacy would do just as long as it explained away the rift in their paradigm, a life long immersion in religion.

The idea that "no true Scotsman would do such a thing therefore they are not a true Scotsman" should be an invitation for them to examine their beliefs... but they won't or more likely they can't.

If a person of the Christian faith commits an uncivilized act, is that person equal to all other believers in Christianity? Maybe the statement in the case of this atrocity should not be whether they are a real Muslims, Jews, whatever, but are all these people the same (equal) because of their belief system. I would say no.

Ultimately, the thing that is more relevant? that we are all equal because we are human beings and that has nothing to do with religion.

Religion has done great harm to the human species and if it didn't exist we would be better off in my opinion, but it's here. So illuminating the blame is only a exercise in anger management and frustration. Now, what plan do we have to bring peace to humanity so we can begin the process of illuminating reason and facts in this world of illusion?

BTW, are all atheists equal?

Just food for thought.
