^Fucking do it man. If you show your distaste of a true father and a true hero you need to git out.

Before I even started reading the article, I knew he was a man of religion.

And would you know it, it was even specifically mentioned in the article:

(he) performed in choirs at Cottage Grove Baptist Church

How did I know this?

Because an Atheist would never sacrifice his own life for another, for he fears death above all else. Since he is chained by the horror of non-existence if faced with death; to him his own life trumps all other causes. An Atheist is incapable of such heroic acts of self-less bravery and sacrifice.

If you were in a foxhole, would you want an Atheist covering your back? I know I woulden't...

shut the fuck up.

what do you have to say about religious people who kill their own daughter's for "honor" in Islam???

Hanafi: "Because an Atheist would never sacrifice his own life for another, for he fears death above all else."

Who the fuck do these religious nutjobs think they are. Like they got the copyright on human kindness and sacrifice. Well, fuck you Hanafi, altruistic behaviour is part of the human psyche and has no bearing on religion. You think bees are religious?

Second, the article title makes it seem as if he sacrificed himself, but that's not true. They were fucked anyway and he just had the time to minimise damage to his daughter, which is not exactly the same.

It's not about freedom of expression. If whoever bashed it wrote why they did so and it was their fair opinion, fine. But they haven't so it was probably just some chump who bashed for the sake of it.

Note to Hanafi, Abraham was at the point of killing his own offspring in the bible, so how you can even justify what you are saying is beyond me, reason and logic.

Sorry didn't want to play a religion bashing card on such a heroic piece of news, especially when the only thing on the news in Britain is a messed up father in Austria.

A mans actions lead to his immortality, this man has achieved it with his dying breath, as a father protecting his child, if only there more like him.
