Yes, I am suggesting that an anecdote is not what is considered evidence in any meaningful way. My father smoked for 50 years and never developed lung cancer. Do you also believe that anecdote about him is evidence that smoking does not cause lung cancer? 1

You asked for evidence that not all hate is the result of faith, I provided an example and you dismissed it, anecdotally.

So it had nothing to do with his faith in the supremacy of the white race? something often touted by Christians?

I asked for evidence of your assertion that faith does not inspire suicide bombers. The idea that "not all hate is the result of faith" is so obvious as to not be worthy of discussion. Your dishonest approach to this discussion makes it a waste of my time. 1

We're either talking past one another or you too are conflating, I presume the former. But did he have faith in white supremacy before he was radicalised?

I'm going to be honest, I have no idea how people are radicalized, why anyone would kill helpless people, the entire mindset is simply not in my list of understandable things. I would have to at least suggest something was broken inside his brain or the brain of anyone who would kill helpless people...

Some seem to break easier than others but my sympathy is generally limited to the victims of broken people. The people who are broken are often very good at garnering sympathy while they plan their next move... I was abused severely as a child, it made me come close to being pathologically empathic.

The analogy has broken down unless you think that everyone should carry protection against those stray shards. But ultimately yes you can clean up every shard, bring in a backhoe and you can get every piece but the problem is how do you fix broken people? Some are not fixable so they have to be separated from the general population.

No, I mean we should stop worrying about it, because it only gives energy to them. 4 minutes ago, Moontanman said: But ultimately yes you can clean up every shard, bring in a backhoe and you can get every piece but the problem is how do you fix broken people? Some are not fixable so they have to be separated from the general population. What can you really control? And when is a victim, guilty?

Yeah, stop worrying about mass killings by broken people... that's the ticket... 4 minutes ago, dimreepr said: What can you really control? And when is a victim, guilty? A victim can be passively victimized or a victim can make sure there are more victims via victimizing others. If you are broken and kill people because of it then you cannot be allowed to circulate in the general population. It's not fair to the people you might harm. Much like flying an airplane with a heart condition is illegale...
