Well I just can’t stand it another minute. The senseless killing of innocent people, all in the name of Allah, has finally reached the apex of blindness.
I will say now before I go any further, that I am no scholar of Islam, or Islamic traditions. I “ Do,” believe we both know there is only one God. Guess that is why we call him God. Singular.
I would hope that the Islamic terrorists that commit these acts of mayhem, recognize the holy nature of mankind's existence. In a universe of such extraordinary wonder, the fact that we exist at all is truly a miracle. If you believe in creation, then to not understand the truly miraculous nature of our existence, is to be blind to the wonderful gift of life that God has given freely to all of mankind.
Lets put aside all differences for a moment, and realize that this gift of life can only be given by God. No matter what we think of ourselves and our earthly abilities, we can no more create a man than we can create the Sun.
I make a point. What man takes it upon himself, to destroy life? What man can look within his heart and take on the destruction of life that only God can create? It is one thing to kill in a war, but to purposely kill innocent women and children just to propagate a certain theology is very dangerous.
What man wants to stand before God and try to explain why he killed an innocent man, woman or child? If someone truly believes in the total power of God and the belief that God controls all things, then what makes that person believe God can’t avenge himself?
God doesn’t need “ Any,” man, to commit murder in his name If God wants someone dead, he has no need of puny man to do it for him. I wish all those that practice the terror of murdering the innocent at the direction of another, “ Man,” could cleanse themselves of the hate, and the blindness, that puts their souls in jeopardy.

What is killing in the name of war if not at least in large part intentional, premeditated killing of another with malice? Notice I did not say all killing in war. There are times in war and in times of non-war where a killing occurs that is self defense either of ourself or another. And it may be my own little opinion but to me it is clear. That murder as defined is a sin, killing is not. The distinction for me falls at self defense or immediate defense of another. Not to say that you read a story about someone being mistreated in one way or another stew over it and then go out and kill. That is murder. By immediate I mean if I have a baseball bat and I am witnessing someone killing another right there well......that would qualify as immediate defense of another life to me. That and instinct sometimes rules over everything else.
No killing in "the name of God" has ever made any sense to me, no matter the religion. As a matter of fact murder in general doesn't make sense to me. I decided a long long time ago ( or as I like to say many many moons ago) that anyone or anything is not worth the jail time. And yes I would get caught, to top it off I am not wealthy or famous so I would not get away with it. Unfortunately the whole world doesn't share my views on this.
"I wish all those that practice the terror of murdering the innocent at the direction of another, "Man",..."How do you respond to the "Man" or men or person(s) who claim that God told them to do this? The Old Testament (followed by roughly what two thirds of the world) has more than one instance where "man" wrote that God called for a battle/war/killing...
Just a quick note the entire human race does NOT worship the same God, some dont worship at all, some worship multiple gods/goddesses, and so on.
I personally believe in one god. The majority of the world believes in one god according to most polls. It is the individual translation of what is expected of humans by God that divides.
