>Based on an in depth analysis of the original Hebrew, Bible scholar Dr. Joel M. Hoffman concludes that "kill" is too broad but "murder" is too narrow to reflect tirtsah.[61] The Hebrew refers to all illegal killing, so it includes what is commonly called "murder" in English, but "manslaughter" as well. It did not refer to legal killing, such as in war or in sanctioned retribution.

They aren't Islamic contributions any more than calculus and modern science are Christian contributions.

[Anonymous No.1394365]

You know, for much of the duration of human culture it was ok to arm yourself against people who want to kill your children and elders.

Suddenly you say it's wrong. It's the same thing as denying god, you guys are pushing the boundaries ever farther and the greatest irony is you weak fucks who advocate it will be the ones most hurt by it.

[Anonymous No.1394405]

>>1394347
calculus maybe

modern science, hardly

The Royal Society resulting in modern naturalism was pretty much intellectualism, ordered to GTFO from meddling with supernatural dogma. It's pretty much the oppossite of Newton's gnostic mysticism/alchemy or islamic philosophy encouraging the accumulation of knowledge.

They're digging their own grave man.

Plus, soon all the Baby Boomers will be dead. The new generation in power is only 64% religious, unlike the current >90% one. And the number of religious loonies is decreasing.

These... Disgusting xenophobes and YECs are not going to last long in power. Don't worry if they arm themselves, though: Minorities become more vocal and violent as their numbers decrease. That's what's happening and they know it.

Many Islamic religious leaders built libraries, sheltered sages and scholars of secular knowledge and most importantly encouraged education within their religion.

Christianity contributed mainly by preserving much of the classical archives that were in danger from barbarians and religious fanatics during the dark ages but their main difference to contemporary Islam was that the access to knowledge was elitistic and that they generally discouraged commonfolk from learning even their own religious dogma as presented by scripture.

[Anonymous No.1394583]

Wow.

These goddam people are using Godless as an adjective for the government being horrible.

You're committing the stolen concept fallacy. You are ascribing to a religion the acts of individuals while denying the individual their due. You acknowledge the accomplishment while ignoring its logical dependents: the people as individuals.

Religion doesn't do anything. Ask religion to get me another beer, or write a debunking post on 4chan and tell me when it's done. Don't worry, I'll wait! People do things, not religions.

So what is the name of the fallacy you just committed there by falsely assuming that by saying "religion" he was referring to the tenants and beliefs rather than a blanket reference to those who preach it as well.

You can't strip the individual and his/her achievemnets from his/her social environment. It's almost like saying that the classical academia or the scientific community had not contributed anything to human knowledge as a whole but only on an individual level.

Maybe it's not a very accurate comparison since both these schemes encourage certain methodology to produce knowledge but to give you an example of what I mean some germanic or slavic barbarian at that time did not have the chance to be educated and contribute to collective human knowledge.

Maybe it was that religion was widely scotadistic but nevertheless allowed to some point a cultural unity that allowed further advance.

Buddhism pretty much united oriental philosophies.

Roman Christianity spread classical influence to the largely barbaric Europe

and Islam pretty much united and stabilized all the cultural achievements of middle eastern nations like the Persians.

I love the right wing American power fantasy of taking on the government.

Maybe in the 1800s. Today? No, that 9mm is not going to help you against any serious dictator who isn't pulling his punches. It's silly fantasy and an excuse to justify the national paranoia which the sole justification of gun ownership.

Hell, in most European countries even police officers do not carry firearms, to no obvious negative effect. Guns in the UK, for example, are so incredibly rare that gangs have to rely on dealers who will rent guns, or converting BB guns. The argument 'Criminals will always have access to guns' is largely proven wrong by this. They will be there to a very small degree, but not even close to that in legalised nations.

I swear religion is going to become the downfall of man not because I'm Mr. super atheist and i think everyone is stupid, but because if one religion gains enough power (more than muslim terrorists) like this and threaten me or others, with no means on reasoning possible, I would take the next chance without hesitation to kill them all.

[Anonymous No.1394809]

it doesn't really affect anything anyways, crime in the UK has skyrocketed since they started banning guns.

and it just increases the likelihood of getting stabbed instead of shot.
