He didnt blame the bible, he asked why the bible isnt blamed like the other "sources of violence".

And many, if not most, hate crimes are done claiming that they are doing gods will. Skin heads say that god says that blacks and jews are inferior and need to be segregated or done away with. Gay bashers say god hates queers.

Make sure you actually read a post before retaliating against it, and then call others ignorant.

I watched a show recently on polygamy, and there were men raping their daughters, claiming god said it was their right. now, i dont think this is ANY different from blaming games or movies, it is just an attempt to shift blame.

Thanks Vod. Couldn't have said it better myself. I certainly don't blame the Bible for violent crimes. Anyone who commits a crime has only him or her self to blame. My point, as Vod stated, is that people will take a crime as an opportunity to ban what they do not like (such a video games, music, movies, TV shows, etc.) rather than putting full responsibility on the individual who committed the crime ... unless the person who committed the crime backs up his actions from Bible teachings. And it is only Bible teachings that get this treatment. When terrorists struck the WTC, people were condemning Islam ... not the terrorists ... because Islam is in competition with Christianity. If the terrorists were Christian, nobody would be attacking the religion. Only the terrorists. Kind of a strange set of standards going on there. I would never blame a religion, or an idea, or a book, for causing violence. Never. I say people who commit crimes should be held completely responsible.

start qoute "I'd be willing to wager that if you search the house of someone (almost anyone) who commits a violent crime, you'd probably find a copy of The Bible. But, nobody seems to want to ever blame "the book", even though many hate crimes are committed as a result of what is taught in this book" end qoute.
that isn't blaming the bible? yeah right. get real will ya and pull ya head out of ya ignorant asses.
P.S the only reason islam is getting a lot of shit lately isn't just because the terrorist were muslim. but their organization says thats its a holy war thats its islam fighting agaisnt the west. not christianity. rarely if ever will you hear bin laden say a word about christianity. and of course only a fool would say that all muslim are bad or what ever. but! when the terrorist say that they are fighting a "ji had" and it's islam v's whom ever then ya islam is gonna get a lot of shit dumped on it rightfully or wrongfuly. i say wrongfully imho.
