No I say it like someone who says

Someone who claims their hand was guided by god is and someone who says their hand was guided by god to kill someone is.

Spin it how you like . That’s your typical way of dealing with anything you find difficult to swallow at face value.

I have accepted many facts and points put forward to me. You refuse to see what is written, only that which you want to believe.

If you can’t debate rationally and sensibly without putting words in people’s mouths and using simplistic black and white logic then it is your problem if you get your undies in a bunch.

Does this make him
“a stupid reactionary asshole” too. You know, because he disagreed with you?

That’s right. And in this case the behaviour of human beings with guns.

And I am certain you have no idea about how she feels but are, as usual, projecting your own spin on it to make it sound exactly how you want it to.

You are entitled to believe whatever you like. But the tolerance that non religious people are expected to give religious people becomes extremely strained when they claim god made me do it for everything they won’t take responsibly for themselves. Osama Bin Laden believes his hand is guided by god.

That’s your take. Mine is she did what she did and let god take the rap.

You would need a sense of humour and to understand the concept of self effacement to get it.
