Have you seen this picture from Gaza?

If there is a god, they are an asshole.

[vaportrail]

I lurk on Free Republic (for the priceless derp) and they are posting the most insensitive shit about this picture. Makes me sick.

[pantsparty]

Oh my god. Heartbreaking.

[Kit]

OMG, that poor man, and that poor, poor baby. :-(

[mkesweetie]

How awful.

Back at you.

[mrsjuleshs]

I can't even imagine. I don't think I could live if something happened to my kid.

[annyong]

Oh my gosh. :-( :-( :-( how heartbreaking.

This photo fills me with rage. I also have such a helpless feeling of guilt by association due to our nations allegiance to Israel.

I know that I can not click on that link. I'm sad just reading the comments.

I really don't think a photo like that is cause to denigrate someone's religion.

But it's horribly sad. Poor baby.

I'm agnostic, and my beliefs regarding religion are allowed to be voiced.

[scotty]

Oh, Lucy.

[scotty]

We've come a long way. Five years ago, someone would have sworn at someone already. I'm rather proud of us.

I'm going to start answering any positive posts with "God is good!"

I'm sure that wouldn't be annoying or anything.

Clinging to your first amendment rights to demean others and their beliefs. How original.

Does Scotty have some sort of beef with religion? First I've heard about it.

lol. No. None!

But, this isn't about me or my beef with god, it's just sad.

Scotty turns into a foot stomping two year old in religion posts. It is known.

Ignore.

That poor baby. What a sad and seemingly endless conflict.

Really? Really?!

Great to ignore the 12,000 rockets launched into Israeli towns over the last 12 years and the leafing by the Israeli army telling civilians to take cover.

There is blame on both sides.

If you love God, that's your thing.

Not everyone shares your reverence of god. Sorry.

I'm an atheist and I still get really aggravated at how disrespectful some people get in religion posts (on BOTH sides).

Who said there isn't?

I just don't like being associated with the violence. As an American, I am linked to this mess by default. I'm allowed to not like it.

Good point. I guess she turned it into one.

[scotty]

Okay, listen kids. Sorry I offended you. I will amend 'asshole' to 'not a nice god'.

Better?

And Stellas, shut the fuck up. Seriously. Is your husband out for the millionth time taking pictures of randoms at bars while you sit at home letting it happen?

[Deleted]

Hey, scotty, thanks for showing up in this post about a dead kid and acting like a bitch!

He's....at work. Cuz it's work hours and stuff.

I agree with you so much. Things like this make me struggle so much when I am trying to believe. Which is why I usually give up, and choose the "there must be no god" approach.

Because why? That poor baby. Those poor parents.

Scotty, did you have wheat today or something?

People are jumping on it a little hard for something to do. I get the annoyance, to a degree. But, you'd think it was THE WORST COMMENT, EVAR.
