You say lots of things but you rarely make any coherent or logical sense. You earlier stated that, “... false religion has produced what is bad for humanity...”, but you never expand upon what qualifies a religion to be a 'false' one, or for that matter, a 'true' one. I can only assume that you simply think that any religious belief that isn't exactly the same as the one you believe in comes under your blanket heading of 'false'.
You further say, “... it is hard to comprehend why a person would walk up to total strangers and stab him to death or why someone would drive by a house and shoot at random...”. I agree that it is hard to comprehend random acts of violence but unlike you, I don't immediately ascribe god to that which I do not understand. That is the non-thinking religious person's get-out clause – 'I cannot understand it so I shall say that god (or the devil) is responsible'. It explains nothing whatsoever. It simply dismisses the act as being caused by an invisible, undetectable force and therefore removes any responsibility from the perpetrator.
You continue (in a post to Naomi), “... These questions do cause a person to think...”. But you are not thinking at all. You are merely abrogating responsibility to god or the devil. That's not understanding or thinking – it's the diametric opposite of understanding and thinking. You're using the 'god did it' cop-out again. Rather than address the issues why someone would commit a random act of violence – such as depression or mental illness for example - you simply dismiss it all as the work of the devil. You're not exactly a great loss to the clinical psychology set are you?
You further state, “... The fact is, your way of life can be pleasing to only one of two masters. Either you are serving God or Satan the Devil.”
This takes the biscuit. The classic 'false dilemma' argument – you're either with us or against us... oh dear me. Do you have any comprehension of just how moronic such a statement sounds to an atheist (or for that matter, to anyone who can read without moving their lips)? I could just as easily counter your statement by an equally ludicrous assertion:-
“You're either with the Flying Spaghetti Monster or you're against him.”.

I've said this before about your views; they would be funny if they weren't so pathetic.
