I am very comfortable. Christianity has lots of internal disagreements between denominations, but it has never been a Bahai, everything goes. But as I don't want to derail this into a religious discussion that is the last I will say of it.

Ultimately it depends whether you think religion is a collection of texts or a collection of beliefs. I prefer the second vision.

At least that's what some human has invented.
The human mind is truly very creative in these things especially when it is only limited by imagination not by laws of nature or anything else. Religion, government, nations only work because people obey or choose to obey its rules and existence.
If all people would agree that Christianity, Buddhism or whatever religion is stupid and they would abandon it, it would simply cease to exist. Religion is knowledge, or copy of knowledge over generations without there ever being an original.
I have no problem when people indulge in these fantasy worlds, have their rituals build churches and temples and what not as long as they realize, its just that what it is and in the end not real and not worth killing or dying for.

More info about the student who supposedly turned himself in, less about religion please.
That again, is not the point of this thread.

So wait the student who had the same name turned himself in?

A very unusual move indeed if this suspect really is responsible for these crimes.
But maybe he had just seen the light of reason in his impossible situation at the very last moment.

Just another shining example of the poison that religion really is. I cannot help but think of the late Christopher Hitchens. Yes, not all religions nor their respective followers are inherently violent but the three main monotheistic religions all have "divinely inspired" scriptures which promote violence against non-believers. My heart goes out to all the brave victims. Their bravery was not silenced today. And to those who say this event has nothing to do with religion.... tell that to the murderers shouting god is great as they extinguish human lives.
User was temp banned for this post.

Earlier tonight a young man contacted the police, supposedly a student with the same name as one of the suspects.
He just got released without any charge.

This is exactly what I was afraid of. To have names released publicly. Thankfully no one got to him before he could see the police. If I were him I would be pretty afraid to be honest. Vigilante justice is a real thing.

I don't know what qualifies as an objectively core tenant but I can assure you I went to plenty of churches who thought there core beliefs were dramatically different from other Christians. Core beliefs of Christianity are found in the Nicene Creed. Almost all, but not quite all Christians would go on to add the seven ecumenical councils. This is a widely agreed upon definition, and even non-credal Christians generally believe in its tenets (while disparaging the idea of a unified creed). The relation of faith and violence is a tricky question. One side observes that the teaching of Jesus is uniformly anti-violence and that Mohammad was a warlord. The other side observes that both Christians and Muslims have killed people in the name of their faiths. It's true that Islam started as an expansionary empire, and that Christians in the first few centuries universally rejected military service. It's also true that both Islam and Christianity today serve as spiritual and moral guides for hundreds of millions, and he is a fool who stands between anyone and what connects them to the divine. So I think the key to debating this is understanding a difference between theological, historical, and sociological religion. Let members of the faiths debate theological ideas with members of other faiths; let scholars debate the question of history, and all seek to work to allow the social aspects of religion to cooexist (as they have proven they can) in harmony.

I don't know this all seems really odd. Seems like some important parts of this story are missing.

So yeah, watching iTélé and they're saying a suspect, the 3rd one (the youngest, 18 years old) surrendered because he saw his name in social medias.
He was a SDF (without a place to live) and had stopped school.
He's under arrest but not indicted yet and there are still no official sources, basically they spent 5 minutes talking about him to say they know nothing and perhaps he's innocent and has nothing to do with it.
