Napoleon: Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich

‘I forgive you.’ Relatives of Charleston church shooting victims address Dylann Roof

The relatives of people slain inside the historic African American church in Charleston, S.C., earlier this week were able to speak directly to the accused gunman Friday at his first court appearance.

One by one, those who chose to speak at a bond hearing did not turn to anger. Instead, while he remained impassive, they offered him forgiveness and said they were praying for his soul, even as they described the pain of their losses.

“I forgive you,” Nadine Collier, the daughter of 70-year-old Ethel Lance, said at the hearing, her voice breaking with emotion. “You took something very precious from me. I will never talk to her again. I will never, ever hold her again. But I forgive you. And have mercy on your soul.”

Resources and government protection keep the poor from murdering the rich.

There's a reason why those devils only let you read the Bible during Slavery.

Nat Turner and Toussaint Louverture we're religious but that didn't stop them from doing what they had to do to the rich

True. Many people were so preoccupied with Jesus or the deity of their choice taking the wheel that they weren't ready to raise up and crack heads.

Being taught that your ultimate reward comes after death will make you ok with being piss poor in this life.

So was Martin Luther King, Malcolm x.

Just the typical coli atheist thread of the week.

Even in non religious countries the poor don't rise up

Life is short anyways, I'm 31 even if I live a full life I have like 60-70 years left.

Time flies. Can't take anything with you when you die

Hes getting the death penalty or life anyways. Hating someone or living with hate in your heart or in forgiveness only keeps you in a bondage.

You have no idea whay these family members are going through and if this gives them peace releasing any hate or in forgiveness then kudos to them.

It's part of the reason, but not the only reason. The working class is also indoctrinated to compete against each other and not the elite. Then, there are other factors like everyday people being moral and believing things like "hard work pays off" and so forth.

Thats all well and good, but I don't like that pacifism through religion has been a fantastic strategy for ages. Without religion, people would have more reason to focus on the
here and now and how we relate to each other rather than the end-of-life rewards. I'm about humanism at this point in my life. I want it *now*, cause ain't no way to know if there
even is a "hereafter."

So responding or fighting back to someone deliberately oppressing you is living with hate in your heart?
