Jared Lee Loughner was an athiest who hated religion

[Russian Crushin]

This is true

Because a person who believes in god has never commited murder

[-Hyperion-]

because believing in a flying spagetti monster is clearly the sign of mental sanity......

People should've tried to help him. I feel bad for the guy. It didn't have to end that way for him.

He had the right idea.

Kind of...

What do you mean?

You don't have to look that far, Stalin was responsible for more deaths and he was an Atheist. He truly detested religion and God...

Stalin was going to become a priest at an early age.

Murders happen in the name of religion all the time.

Maybe mentally ill people like Loughner would be more stable if they had a faith, or at least believed and had faith in a higher power.

What do you think?

Yeah, he would have been much more stable if, for example he believed 72 virgins would be waiting for him up in heaven if he carried out a particular act ...

Or,

If he accepted the bible as the word of God ... as long as he knew God doesn't really expect us to stone people to death for the crime of working on the sabbeth ...

[The Monk]

This topic is absolutely ridiculous.

His lack of faith had nothing to do with his motives behind the heinous act he committed; it was his mental instability and his deep hatred of the political system that did.

There is no God. Deal with it.
