Laney at first resisted, but she felt she had to do what she perceived to be God's will to prove her faith, he said.Laney's family said she was never diagnosed with any mental disorder and that they never noticed any signs of illness or mood change before the killings.

It's very hard to understand how someone can be so disturbed as to murder their own children. Especially someone that claims to know God's love.

I don't explain them, but you said it requires religion to make "good"humans do evil, and that's bs.

No.....  



I said that it takes religion to get GOOD people to do evil things.  I question your reading comprehension skills.

And I question your entire logic comprehension skills. That first statement you quoted is so full of holes it isn't even funny.

You actually need me to break that quote down and show you how ignorant it is? Who's quote is that anyway?

It was Stephen Weinberg.  I would love to hear your criticism of the logic comprehension skills of a nobel prize laureate.

I think you missed his point.  Evil things happen in the name of religion - the actors are otherwise good people
ex.  the inquisition, crusades, salem witches

For one, take a simple word substitution: substitute: money, love, lust, greed, mental illness, or any number of things for religion in that statement and you should begin to realise how ignorant it is. The statement assumes that it requires religion to get "good" people to do evil, right?

Now move on to how good or evil is even defined to begin with. What determines and defines good and evil? Isn't it all relative?

Can you give an example of a good person doing evil because of religion? Maybe you should think first before you mention crusades and such, because couldn't you just as well consider the crusaders "evil" people to begin with? Who ever said the crusaders were good people, and then did evil because of religion? Couldn't you say that ANYONE who does evil is an evil person? Does it make sense to you that an evil act could be done by a good person?


The statement does say that only religion can make a good person do evil, correct?

How do you know that murder is evil? What is evil? What is good?

The guy's a moron.

I didn't miss the point at all. The statement clearly says that it requires religion to make a good person do evil.
