And once again a good idea, is turned into a religion.

I'm an atheist, trying to explain religion rationally; I believe that's germane to the topic. Right back atcha, it's only your bias that prevents a good view... 🙄 God = concept not reality: religion = culture: science = method and atheism = belief.

The birth of a dragon, is still a dragon

Killing from a distance, is the aim; it has no impact on the soul...

I don't care, I'm just daring to think what you think is unthinkable, neg me all you want... A bigger one???

Don't know why I should but yeah I don't feel persecuted And now you are making this bold accusation that require at least an explanation If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem... 😉 Depending on the size of the stick... 🙄

I'm guessing you're not feeling persecuted, but enabled to persecute...

It's not the root cause though, he could just as easily, do the same damage with a knife or a big stick he picked up on the way there. What causes a peasant to pick up his pitchfork and march on the Manor House?

"I am justified. For I chose wisdom and the knowledge of good and evil; and now there is no evil; and wisdom and good are one. It is enough.“ — George Bernard Shaw

He was certainly guilty of shooting 3 people, he was certainly guilty of going somewhere he didn't need to go, with an assault rifle he didn't need to carry, he was certainly guilty of being a spoilt little kid acting out his fantasy's. But apparently that's OK, you can actively seek out situations where your probably going to be threatened and stand your ground.

Only to you, since you haven't explained. Arrogant much, they knew everything they needed to know about the world they lived in, it's like calling my grandad primitive because he can't use the internet. So, god = bad and science = good, got it; atheism mean's good then, simple. Just to be clear, I'm not arguing against science, I'm using science to investigate old ideas.

Your rejecting the idea that some people, including scientist's, need to be, or can be, taught a good moral compass (we're not all born with it); no wonder you're out of your depth with the question of justice.

This is the rest of my post, you know, the important part that you ignored. This is a throw away line, note the smilie: The reality is, you can only see if your scientific model is acurate, after the experiment's data is seen ie. hindsight.

I'm sensing a patern... Why are you so determined to be correct; that every question you can't answer must mean, the questioner is stupid?

My only philosophy is to not assume where wisdom can be found. I don't have to believe in god to understand the benefits of love over hate or forgiveness or judging yourself before casting the first stone. We're all standing on the shoulders of giant's, not just science... Only you can prevent you from learning something new, history is full of the relevant data. Hindsight, the only exact science... 😉

No, that's where empathy ends and sympathy begins; I can be sympathetic towards a dog but I can never empathise with it... The cruel irony of justice is, we don't get a choice... An excuse, is not a reason...

Absolutely, that's the priority... And when he's behind bars, the priority shift's too, understanding why he did what he did. We do that be removing the emotive language from the conversation and consider ourselves from his perspective... Only when that conversation is understood, is justice done...

What price knowledge, when panic buying...

And a story is just a story; it either leads to the truth or we ignore it...

Indeed, that's what it looks like... A narrative, that leads to, A truth...

Indeed +1, but ideology can achieve that end, if we don't fear it...

We're only free to be me...

Why is it so difficult, for you to understand, their both human...

Indeed +1, much like the plague/black death, probably, didn't have a single cause...
