Yeah DA, but if the person who let their kid die in a hot car while they went to the mall is an atheist, I reserve the right to blame their atheism for the child's death. After all, they should have been in church instead of at the mall.
That was a joke, by the way.
But seriously, we have had this discussion in various different forms dozens of times here. I think this one is number 6 on the list of repeated discussions.
There are lots of crazy people in the world who do terrible things in the name of their craziness. Some are Christian, some are atheist, some are Muslim, some are Republican, some are Democrats, some are Green Party. Some are Boy Scouts, some are 4Hers. Some are men and some are women.
Lorena Bobbit claims she committed her infamous act because she was a woman who had been cheated on. Was that REALLY the reason? If it were, there would be a LOT more men in this world sitting down when they have to go. But actually her mental instability caused her to do what she did.
No matter WHAT the stated reason for all of these horrible acts, the REAL reason is insanity. Heck, there have been instances of people doing crazy things because their horiscope told them to. Does that mean horiscopes are evil? No, it just means that some people are so unbalanced that they hear voices and see signs in everything. The horiscope didn't cause them to be insane, but their insanity caused them to think the horiscope told them to kill.
Jared Loughner shot a bunch of people because he thought, well, I'm not sure WHAT he thought, but you get my point. Crazy is crazy, and to blame it on anything else is, well, crazy.
