A suspected Islamic terrorist opened fire at a gay nightclub in Florida, killing 50 people and wounding another 53 before he was killed by police. While authorities continue to investigate to determine whether this man had ties to ISIS, the terror organization has not been quiet in praising the attack. This comes three days after ISIS announced they would attack somewhere in Florida. Today's attack marks the largest act of terrorism on US soil since 9/11.

takyon: The gunman reportedly called 911 emergency services to pledge allegiance to ISIS. The President will hold a briefing momentarily. Compare this article to the original submission.

    THIS is why religion needs to disappear:

    ah, shit, i just f'd up: this is why ORGANIZED religion needs to disappear.

    YOU DO NOT NEED SOMEONE ELSE TO TELL YOU HOW TO BELIEVE OR NOT TO BELIEVE, ANY MORE THAN YOU NEED SOMEONE TO TELL YOU HOW TO THINK OR NOT THINK.

    Believe what you believe, think what you think, but think about it and question it. Is what i am thinking a good thing? Is it? Why? What?

    If you believe in a 'God', fine! If you think the moon has never been landed on, fine! But think about it: don't just accept what someone tells you.
    Don't strap a bomb to yourself 'cause someone says 'this is a good thing'. (If it was a good thing, THEY'D be doing it themselves, but they're not, are they! (Think about that.)

    As one sig says, (to paraphrase, because i don't have it in front of me)(apologies to the owner for saying it so lamely): "I just told you to think about it for yourself."

    More people need to think, instead of being sheeple and doing what the shepherd says.

    Damn, people.
    .
    THINK!
