Is Greta becoming a martyr for the cause knowing full well white people will only care if they kill one of their own? Goddamn. 😔

    I get the impression that she's just doing what she thinks is right, and that the reason she is doing it is because she can.

    It is right. Ayaya, poor Greta will suffer in this life when she could be living large and easy in Northern Europe but, if my religious beliefs are true, she will be rewarded for it in the next one. Personally, I'm too cowardly and selfish to do any of the things Greta has been up to.

    This is an interesting schtick.

    Why would you be cowardly if you knew you were going to be rewarded with paradise?

    That's what I don't understand about theists. It just sounds to me like you're not sold on your belief system.

    Do you think that people who believe in God KNOW?! It's belief in the unseen, my guy, a leap of faith INTO faith which takes both effort and courage, and an Israeli missile/bullets don't require that and trigger your survival instincts. You're understanding things in a very intellectually limited "black and white" way, detached from the human experience and all notions of epistemology...

    Nah, OP is right. A believe is the idea that something is true, even if there is no factual base for it.

    It is an act of strength and courage to renounce religion, rather than to delve deeper into that madness.

    Admitting a person lied to themselves is really hard. Look at all the motherfuckers who killed themselves and others for some god. They are the cowards.

    Even morality cannot just be reasoned into, since moral "shoulds" don't follow from factual "ares" (check Hume's fork, or the "is-ought" problem, for an easy explanation). Every belief of these natures is something you either take or not. And "religion" is doing a lot of work here and is inappropriate. I understand dismissing many belief sets and ideologies because they contradict either reality or your own moral codes, and I also understand having a bad after taste for all beliefs because of a negative experience with one (I felt this way myself for about two decades!), but the latter simply doesn't follow logically. And to each their own, of course.

    Americans are okay with their own children being shot in schools. They are hardly going to give a shit about a woke communist Yurpean trying to prevent a genocide.

    Nah, most see her as a rebel uneducated teen and the others don't even know her. Her death won't make any difference, because EU already condemned the flotilla, virtually signing her murder.
