Look at the Qu'ran for instance. People strap bombs to their chest and walk over to the bus stop without ever having the intention of making it across town because a fictional story told them they have to kill infidels and will be rewarded with 72 virgins. Harry Potter is no different.

    But people don't have to do that. That is their own choice. You can't blame an innocent story on all that, because it didn't HAVE to happen.
    How about we just point fingers at people's stupidity? That makes more sense.

      Guess who I'm pointing at.

        Absolutely not. Terrorists gain nothing from me. -.- I hate the idea that someone would bomb another civilization for being different.
        Everyone needs to open their minds and be tolerant of others, and then that wouldn't happen.
        As a follower of God, I would love to sit down and have a chat with an athiest, a Buddhist, etc. because it would prove interesting and knowledgable. You have to remember, religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism were here far longer than other religions. If all you do is judge others, you gain nothing, nothing except for more judgement on you, you're pushing people away.

          Because the book told you to go walk around with bombs strapped to you, right? Sure, THAT'S believable...
          Oh Lord, I feel so bad for our children if they're hearing things like this...

            Look at Harry Potter, you don't think he teaches children Terrorism? Think again! In the Third book of the series Harry flies into a violent rage, and BLOWS UP his Aunt Marge. He actually blows her up! What kind of impression do you think that gives to innocent children? That it's OK to blow up family members?

              Eh? Since when was 'English Word for female sheep' = 'suicide bomber'???????

              Answer: Ewe - rhymes with 'you'.

              I really think you need to go to basic crosswording technique workshops. And quit sniffing pine resin. You're treeing up the wrong bark missy.

                  He didn't make her explode. She just inflated like a blimp and flew off into the sky...
                  LOL xD It was sooo funny.

                      You said how people walked around with bombs strapped to them after reading a book. (Which is complete fail on their part)
                      And yes, I'm such a sheep xD

                        I thought you said you love everyone? Do you actually think about the things that you think you believe?

                            They gain no support or sympathy. I said to love, never said I loved everyone. If I did, that would be a problem. but terrorists make me sad. :/ I wish they could see the other side of people's stories before bombing someone.

                              That isn't being told to do something, that's lack of common sense.

                                Semantics. But I do agree with your second point.

                                Although, your lack of a link shows you've falsified that quote. I never write Qu'ran. I always spell it Koran. Touché.

                                Why did you feel you had to lie?
