Wrong. It was the United States's flawed foreign policy. Al Qaeda would have little reason to attack the United States had they left the Middle East well enough alone. Oh, but any reason to attack religion! Religion may have its flaws, but as a person of reason, you should at least come up with legitimate reasons against them.

Right... so they had no choice in the matter, and religion couldn't possibly dehumanize out groups, making mass murder more palatable to the average non-psychotic.

I'm saying that this is blaming religion for an act that was mostly political. As self-proclaimed rationalists, shouldn't you be attacking religion for its faults, rather than making bullshit up and attempting to spin it against religion? You still have plenty of other ammunition besides 9-11.

Btw, the atomic bomb the United States dropped wiped out 90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000–80,000 in Nagasaki (source: Wikipedia). But of course, science is always used for good and isn't driven by the military r&d.

Read the koran and hadiths. Osama bin Laden lived a near flawless life according to the doctrines of his religion. I understand that it is hard to accept that there are people with an ideology that morally justifies their criminal behavior, but accepting it is the first step in combating future religious ideologies or non-religious ones that mandate the same brutality.

[–]Bout_It_Bout_It 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This does not matter anyway. Why? Because the reason for the 9/11 had almost nothing to do with religion. Fucking hell, these attacks are mostly politically motivated.

Like comedian David Cross put it:

"I don't think Osama bin Laden sent those planes to attack us because he hated our freedom. I think he did it because of our support for Israel, and our ties with the Saudi family and all our military bases in Saudi Arabia. You know why I think that? Because that's what he f*****g said! Are we a nation of 6-year-olds? Answer: yes."

Seriously, people overblow this islamo fascism stuff so much. "Brutality"? Non religious countries and orgs have done the same or much worse. Frankly, i just do no think in this particular situation you can place the blame on religion.

[–]watas 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

How do you differentiate the political and religious causes when it comes to Al Qaeda? Osama bin Laden is a self admitted Islamist. He is an advocate of theocracy - his political ideology is also his religious one. His reasoning was created due to his political beliefs, yes, but his political beliefs are one and the same as his religious ones.

[–]Srsninja 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah...but why did he have a problem with the US supporting Israel? With military bases in Saudi Arabia?

He would not have given a single fuck had Israel been Muslim, and if the US Govt. was pro-islam.

How many more architects and mechanical engineers must hit the wall at 400 miles an hour before we admit to ourselves that jihadist violence is not merely a matter of education, poverty, or politics? The truth, astonishingly enough, is that in the year 2006 a person can have sufficient intellectual and material resources to build a nuclear bomb and still believe that he will get 72 virgins in Paradise. Western secularists, liberals, and moderates have been very slow to understand this. The cause of their confusion is simple: They don't know what it is like to really believe in God. -Sam Harris

Their motives for hating the west are(?) partially based on religion....

and even if they aren't, the cultural/political difference that religion has created resulted in their hatred. That is to say, Laden wouldn't have had such an issue with us supporting Israel had Israel been Islamic.

If this is true and it is not religion that made them do it, then name a time an Atheist who intentionally flew a plane into a building? "As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities."~Voltaire

[–]mozsey 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

you can't use that as an argument. the people they get to kill themselves and fl a PLANE into a building are people who have a troubled life and want a better life. so they're promised that life by a terrorist leader, as long as they kill themselves in the name of "allah."

it's not a matter of religion, it's a matter of tricking people into it.

back to this point though, just because an atheist hasn't done it doesn't mean they don't have the potential.

[–]one_four_three 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

the easy response to that is that religion is a way of tricking people into it.

but seriously, i get the op's point, even though it's a repost. the attitude that faith is a virtue, that ignorance is something to be cherished, is what the real issue is here. that is how the trick is done.

[–]Srsninja 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, but this terrorist leader? No matter what way you spin it, this terrorist leader's political views are influenced by his religion.

You really think some person in an Islamic leader recruiting teens to blow things up is entirely secular?

And is it the people's fault for getting tricked\following some terrorist? Partially. Either people are merely a result of their enviorment, or they're responsible for the choices they make. These people knew they were going to kill, despite what god they were doing it for.

[–]Srsninja 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You're missing his point. OP is saying that religion is a motivator, an enabler to do bad things.

A sick atheist, on the other hand, is sick and mentally damaged. You can have a sick religious person..and they'll be even more likely to do something bad.(Hitler) A person following a religion is on the whole more likely to do bad things.

Its like putting a gun in a persons hands. Sure, that person could be mental and stab people with a knife, but when you give him a gun killing gets much easier. Even a non-mental person could do bad things with that gun.

Yes because 9/11 hijackers were so uneducated with their Ph.D's and in complete poverty in their middle to upper middle class lives in America. As Sam Harris would say,

Wait, first of all, which one of them was from the US? PhDs? None of them had PhDs. Regardless, that's not the point.

Read my comment again, it has nothing to do with poverty. Some of the other commmenters were more direct here when they said it was our involvement in Israel that motivated Bin Laden...hell, he said it himself.

So it's convenient for us to paint a picture of religious nutcases, much like our homegrown ones who burn down abortion clinics, but the truth is the US has its own brand of terrorism that it funds all around the world and we've made some crafty enemies.

You have to be pretty naive to think that terrorism is some kind of reaction against some miss steps in foreign policy with Israel and Palestine... Al'Qaeda attacked embassies due to the fact that we stopped Indonesia committing genocide in East Timor. Because stopping Indonesia (a Muslim land) from conquering East Timor (mostly christian) is an act of christian crusaders for which the west can never be forgiven.

I don't know how you can say this is not religious when Al'Qaeda THEMSELVES state this is fundamentally a religious war.

Money was necessary to develop the technologies necessary to fly to the moon. NASA didn't design, engineer, and build those machines. Those were developed by the private sector, the aeronautical companies (that would later become aerospace companies) that won government contracts to meet the mission standards set forth by the planners at NASA.

Trade - and thus the idea behind money - has been the driving force for the development and proliferation of every single significant technology the human race has enjoyed since the invention of agriculture.

I think itsavw is trolling a bit, but OP's response is a little dogmatic. There is (arguably) no reason to believe that a "god" exists, but to assert that the existence of a "god" is impossible involves a certain amount of faith in one's own knowledge of the universe.

So, Pastafarianism is the "bald hair color" here, not the strict, gods-are-impossible materialist perspective.

As much as I admire Hitchins for his stand on atheism, he actively supported GWB and the war and invasion of Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with 9-11 so it's not surprising he has a hardon for Islam.

He was 100% wrong of course about Iraq.

Here's OBL letter to America as to why he attacked the US, nowhere in there does it say because Allah told him to.

'Allah, the Almighty, legislated the permission and the option to take revenge. Thus, if we are attacked, then we have the right to attack back.'

(Q1) Why are we fighting and opposing you? Q2)What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you?

As for the first question: Why are we fighting and opposing you? The answer is very simple:

(1) Because you attacked us and continue to attack us.

a) You attacked us in Palestine:.....................................

If the Americans do not respond, then their fate will be that of the Soviets who fled from Afghanistan to deal with their military defeat, political breakup, ideological downfall, and economic bankruptcy.

This is our message to the Americans, as an answer to theirs. Do they now know why we fight them and over which form of ignorance, by the permission of Allah, we shall be victorious?

If you watched that whole video, you will realize that you will have to capitulate on many freedoms to try and appease these people. You're kidding yourself if you think their only grievance is Palestine. So we should of let Indonesia commit genocide in East Timor right? Because preventing that will upset the Islamists and we will have brought it on ourselves. What about free speech? If I draw a cartoon of the prophet Mohammed in a news paper and it upsets the Islamists will I have brought the violence upon myself? You can surrender your free speech, democratic rights, womens rights, etc in your own name. But don't tell people who are fighting against this Islamic imperialism they've brought it on themselves.

It's insulting not to give the credit to the ones who accomplished it and made things look easy.. and to those who risked their lives to be able to bring back the experience. Attributing anything to God is easy, if something good happens it's God's will and God helped and used a human as a tool in his plan.. if something negative happens to someone then it is a test of faith. Either way you can just pray about it, doing the very least but claim you prayed in an attempt to give full meaning to the little you did.

You atheists are deluding your selves thinking that we got to the moon without God.
