Le Pen is going win by a landslide in next election in France.

It is beginning increasingly hard to justify tolerance, so I would not be surprised.

I try to be tolerant for everything and for everyone and people can do what they like as long as it is not harmful to anyone.
Somethings just cant be tolerated when they are forced upon you.

I hope everything will work out eventually and things will go smoothly but i will not hold my breath.

I’m disgusted by the sheer amount of people using this tragedy for self-expression on social media e.g. when they post pictures of their trip to Paris from years ago or display their saddened faces via selfie.
Ironically, speaking out against it on social media wouldn’t be a tad better, so I’m venting here. Kthxbye

Yeah Im surprised so many of my atheist friends are posting #prayforparis. As an atheist I dont believe what we need is more religion.

Less praying and more deeds towards stopping hateful ideologies what people should do.

It's a poor form of sympathy. It's like what happened with the Oregon Shooting.

That would be all Abrahamic religions then. I'm fine with that.

Me too, not a fan of religions in general.

I could not agree more.

Now people are French flag-ifying their Facebook profile pictures. Ecch.

But as much as I loathe all the 'my thoughts and prayers' posts (Anthony Jeselnik's bit on this is great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FLGEr1zJYo), people's Eiffel Tower holiday photos that so often seem to include their smiling faces, and the stupid graphics all over the Instagram accounts of Ria Dunn and so many others, I so much more hate when people use things like this to score sociopolitical points, whether it's justifying xenophobia or antitheism, or any number of other things.

Antitheism (what the fuck is that anyway - another recent invention - atheism used to suffice) needs no justification at this point in history - theism does. Nor is pointing out that terrorist acts are perpetrated by Muslim fanatics amounts to xenophobia.

can you elaborate? intolerance toward people who are intolerant of intolerant people that kill people in the name of an intolerant god

More PC bullshit. Conflating genuine concerns with right wing fanaticism.

[cjbreed]

i know, and i'm growing tired of that type of thinking.
