Because fundies are nuts. That's the important part of being a fundie: you live by everything written in the book before you've engaged the thinking part of your brain. Go back to stoning your foul mouthed children.

Strangely, I don't feel like watching lots of youtube documentaries to find out what this thread is about. If the conclusion here is that it was not an Al -Quaeda act of terrorism, could someone (The Boy perhaps) summarize quickly what the truth behind 9/11 is?

The truth is people will always come up with crazy ass conspiracy theories about even the most well documented events.

I don't get too fanatical either way, and The Boy may be a bit extreme in thought, but it's always a pretty good idea to keep an open mind about things, to a degree.

At least read real news instead of the filtered pop news we get fed via tv and radio.

Give a site like INFORMATION CLEARING HOUSE. NEWS, COMMENTARY & INSIGHT a try. A pragmatic approach to news--not too hot, not too cold, juuuust right.

The video was crass.

The video was crass as in "having or indicating such grossness of mind as precludes delicacy and discrimination." [def. - Merriam-Webster]

Better!

The fact that your only response to it is that it was "crass" (to be vulgar is not an intrinsically bad thing) ...

The video demonstrated that there are some really stupid things in the Bible. If we all stoned our children for swearing at us, overpopulation would definitely not be an issue. You complained that Ethan called religious fundamentalists (lets go to the dictionary again, my preference is Chambers - fundamentalism noun in religion, politics, etc: strict adherence to the traditional teachings of a particular religion or political doctrine.) nuts. But the fact of the matter is any religious fundamentalist of any of the Abrahamic religions are nuts. If they're not, they're not really fundies.

Well I had to stop watching that video, because it was offensive. It may not be offensive to you, maybe you really don't care.

Al-Qaida is seen by some people as being "fundamenalist." And that is my problem with the word "fundamenalist" being used in this thread about 9/11.

That is the problem with the word "fundamentalism" because it has become to be a pejorative to anyone who "adheres" or follows a religion regardless if it is peaceful or not. So if one is spiritual in any way one is being lumped together with Christian fundamanlists and Al-Qaida.

If you are an atheist fine. But don't lump everyone together who practices a religion as nuts. Because every other religion out there is not the same.
