All of these victims, and the many many many others who have been injured or killed due to hatred, deserve much more recognition then they ever get, but only a few exceptions make major headlines. <br /><br />I think the difference in many cases is the sudden-ness, random-ness, and total loss of control in these situations. Unlike the child dying of cancer, who had time to make peace, plan, and (in some way) deal with it over a long period, the victims of hate crimes have little or no time. King in particular, almost instantaneous from what I can gather. No warning, no time to make peace, just there one minute, and a news headline a few seconds later.<br /><br />Anyway, I have no idea where I am going with this, so I should probably stop now.<br /><br />*hugs* to allSethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05432734680316100034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-623790334616461948.post-44736723978554871832009-07-30T08:04:15.374-07:002009-07-30T08:04:15.374-07:00Well said. :)

That within each of us there resides a genius and an idiot, a good and a bad, sanity and insanity. While we each have different "set points" it's what we do that matters.Aekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12183623849361560922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-623790334616461948.post-21741492350669199982009-07-30T05:03:50.231-07:002009-07-30T05:03:50.231-07:00Hey Bob I'm really glad you decided to start w...Hey Bob I'm really glad you decided to start writing this blog in addition to the prolific commenting elsewhere.

Howe...Thank you for posting that. Debate is good.<br /><br />However I don't think anyone said that religion is responsible for all the bad in the world - just for some of it.<br /><br />Some may well argue that Hitler and the German National Socialists were based on a religion (of a sort - it depends how you define 'religion') but verily it doesn't stop them being bad, whether they were or not.<br /><br />I'm sure you didn't really mean the contrary!<br /><br />I will always defend a person's right to believe in god. Whichever god. But organised religion? For every good person and deed I bet we could find a bad person and deed. I don't think the churches had more or less good people doing good things than exist outside them - although I admit that is hard to prove.<br /><br />None of which will stop me posting a little video I found. You may know it - it's obviously American - it questions who might go to heaven and a bit more!<br /><br />It'll be interesting who takes up the challenge of arguing against it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
