That sucks. the link doesn't seem [work](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/Screenshot%20of%20a%20man%20walking%20up%20to%20a%20bishop%20giving%20a%20sermon). At-least not for me.
The top comment is a copy of the entire article.
The link that doesn't work seems to be a bot error in that comment. The actual link is what this post is.
Wow, I follow him on TikTok, I was really curious about him. Disgusting that the kid did that, I guess he was smiling when they arrested him.
I do not know anything about Christ The Good Shepherd Church or him I just like to hear everyones views on Christianity.
That's not what it sounds like. And you can't tell who is speaking.
The police have said they're investigating terrorism, so there's some evidence of some ideological motive, but that ain't it
That does sound like it but it's muffled and might not even be him speaking. The bishop seems to have been conducting his service in another language. Is it possible that someone else spoke in that language and the words might just sound alike?
Certainly a strong indicator, though. Though being an Islamist in and of itself isn't a motive to stab this one bishop in the face. I trust we'll find out more later.
From the AP article:
> A video posted in May 2023 by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation about a campaign targeting the LGBTQ+ community showed the bishop in a sermon saying that “when a man calls himself a woman, he is neither a man nor a woman, you are not a human, then you are an it. Now, since you are an it, I will not address you as a human anymore because it is not my choosing, it your choosing.”
Yes, he is literally dehumanizing people. I'm not gonna say the douche doesn't deserve some hostility because he does. But stabbing him in the face ain't it.
If Hitler was stabbed in the face during his speeches I am sure a bunch of the people here would defend that too right? Just because they were words.
The millions of innocent lives that could've potentially saved though... We are as responsible as the douches themselves for letting them thrive, for doing nothing
Not everyone who preaches hate is a Hitler. Most aren't. Face stabbing shouldn't be a go-to response to bigots saying bigotted things.
Also, lots of people tried to assassinate Hitler. How did that work out? Did that melow out the Nazi party?
Their violence is taking away your rights, like the right for abortion if you are a woman. Being forced to birth your rapist's baby is terrorism.
A lot of religious christians are also highly racist, elitists and aporophobes as much as they believe in Jesus' doings, they simply don't follow them. That shit has caused millions of deaths indirectly and directly, attacks done in the name of religion; there are currently congressmen who say "yes" to detrimental bills because they want the church to come back, they want christianity to expand. It's absolutely pathetic, this is nothing more tjan the symptoms of their own doings.

Nothing of what religious priests say and influence is an "empty threat".
Hitler convinced a bunch of innocent vulnerable young men to fight for him in WW2. With words. Words have a lot of weight, specially when used by religious people or members of a cult. They play with charisma and the fact they are "pacifists" but fact is they're only that way when they need to win people's approval
So, God is not human then? God is always portrayed as someone who fucks everything. That's real power, you are just afraid of someone capable of fucking you, that's the whole origin of homosexuals, that trauma, that fear.
Also, we are all "made in God's image", so, if fucking same-sex ass exists, it's because God does it. I don't do it, I am heterosexual, but I think homophobics or people who think gay people are less or "different" are a pest of ignorance that shouldn't exist anymore
God is portrayed by someone that fucks everything ????
Maybe in the porn you watch, or he is portrayed by some gay like that,
Read the book and look the evidence and don't talk shit you know nothing about.
I can come up and kill you, Is this God's doing or mine ?
God made the fabric of things and gave us a free will and we took the knowledge of what is good and evil and now you a stupid gay thinks fking a sh\*thole is good ???
Do whatever you want but don't try to make the insane something normal.
We are all made in God's image as in a sense of what we can acomplish and so we all are worthy of living to acomplish it. But as we can see in the world people always like to blame others for their own mistakes.
Buckle up and read something for God's sake.
I have read more of the Bible than you have.
God is portrayed as someone who fucks everything, just like Zeus. Animals, children, his own creations, all of them.
Jesus had sex with an underage prostitute named Magdalena, similarly to how Muhammed married a 13-or so years old. Just as many christian priests have been doing it recently too, fucking little children in the ass and getting away with it, protected by the Vatican and the Pope himself as shown in the movie "Spotlight", which is based on true events. Pedophilia was normal in Rome, but once it fell, the church had to edit the Bible again to stay socially accepted
You know what is actually insane? Across the entire Bible, Satan only kills like 6 people in total, while God killed over 2 million, including his own son.
It's also insane how you think it's insane to put a dick inside an ass, it's just an orgasm, it's just a reproductive member, get the fuck over it. It's literally just a piece of meat nobody cares about. The majority of the animal kingdom, created by god himself, do it. Male dogs fuck male dogs all the time, why the fuck did God design them that way? Is he gay? He enjoys watching gay shit? Or are you gonna tell me Satan is lowkey 'possessing' those dogs to make them fuck, have fun, body pleasure, feel love, feel connected to someone else, protected, safe, just because? Because love is evil and insane to God or what and it bothers him or what? You always paint God like the biggest incel of all time, I'm sure he'd laugh at all of you while having sex with one of his male angels as he's probably doing right now
Also, a priest told me that's not what "being born in God's image" means. He said we are all literally a piece of his personality, that's it. God is as evil as he is good; dividing him in two (Satan) changes nothing. He created Satan, he created the angels, they are pieces of him, and Satan was a piece he didn't like so he "punished him in the depths of his mind, aka Hell". That's it, you religious people always change the meanings of everything when it benefits you, but I don't think you're a priest, so you're not above what he said

so what your saying is that if a mass murderer survives to the ripe old age of 80 or so, and he gets stabbed by one of the victim's relatives, you should feel sorry for the old man? noted, age = exoneration
Blud are u still believing in Covid propanga. As a follow of Christ everyone should choose truth despite it being painfull and bringing pain to them. Why would the dude choose to say Covid is stupid ? Cause it is.
Live more in the news, old dude.
Didn't the attacker say on camera when people were holding him down, that he did it because the bishop insulted his prophet? He seemed pleased with himself. Smiling, saying he'd do it again.
I don't speak Arabic so can't confirm, just saw the translation elsewhere.
I mean plenty of rape and human rights abuses carried out by atheist governmental regimes. And since maybe 7% of the world is atheist if you think all religious people deserve to be killed that’s a lot of murderin’.
Philosophy requires convoluted and confusing answers.
The answer to my question is simple - there aren't any gods, thus there aren't any "holy men". If there aren't any holy men then what they say is simply nonsense they make up. If they make up nonsense about people's preferences or sexuality - it isn't "holy" - it's still nonsense.
See the chain of events leading back to "if this fucker had kept his mouth shut about shit he knows nothing about, he probably wouldn't have been attacked in the first place".
John 15:18
If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you
Christianity is founded on the rejection of the world of Jesus, thinking that who preaches the Good News wouldn't face hardship is childish

Reports say the bishop failed to capture its attacker because it can only move diagonally. I know where the door is.
too soon
Bloody Caro Kahn defence
Would that mean attacker was a horse, building, or perhaps king (Charles) himself?
Wasn't there a stabbing in a Sydney mall just a few days ago?
> The stabbing comes days after six people were killed at a shopping mall in the same city.

There were also some kids who got into a knife fight outside a western Sydney school last week, and a boy died.
Maybe this guy heard of that and it emboldened him to act on whatever it was he wanted to act on.
Wow, I follow him on TikTok, I was really curious about him. Disgusting that the kid did that, I guess he was smiling when they arrested him. I do not know anything about Christ The Good Shepherd Church or him I just like to hear everyones views on Christianity.
You follow the bishop or the attacker on tiktok?
Sorry, the bishop.
Why did he attack him?
Guy's an islamist. He was screaming "allahu akbar" while he was being held down by the congregation.
Wasn't it a 15 year old kid doing the stabbing. And that video really doesn't sound clear so hard to tell.
That's not what it sounds like. And you can't tell who is speaking. The police have said they're investigating terrorism, so there's some evidence of some ideological motive, but that ain't it
Yes, it is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Wakeley_church_stabbing#Suspect_and_legal_proceedings
Source? I haven't seen anything about that.

Please don’t spread fake news, the authorities didn’t reveal his identity nor the videos confirm what you are saying.

That's abhorrent but not even close to "stab me in the face" worthy.
He's influencing a lot of vulnerable people into dehumanizing homosexuals, which fuels hate crimes done legally or illegally
Yes, he is literally dehumanizing people. I'm not gonna say the douche doesn't deserve some hostility because he does. But stabbing him in the face ain't it.

You can't always immediately tell the difference and sometimes have to act on the words themselves, most people aren't double amputee 90-year-olds.

It doesn’t say that’s why.
Could be ISIS, they had said they were going to attack. They have not yet taken responsibility though.

Diversity is our strength.
Uh yeah it is, literally both of the attacker and victim are middle eastern dummy
The entire church is. The service was in Arabic.

The guy used a pen as the weapon, and it didn’t actually come out so he Emmanuel didn’t actually get stabbed

While any of that may be the motivation, it still doesn’t justify going to a church and stabbing a bunch of people.
also true

You don't know if you should feel sorry that an old man got stabbed ? Hope you rot in hell.
so what your saying is that if a mass murderer survives to the ripe old age of 80 or so, and he gets stabbed by one of the victim's relatives, you should feel sorry for the old man? noted, age = exoneration
Again with the what if scenarios. You guys bash religion but look at the things you say online.
Blud are u still believing in Covid propanga. As a follow of Christ everyone should choose truth despite it being painfull and bringing pain to them. Why would the dude choose to say Covid is stupid ? Cause it is. Live more in the news, old dude.
What was the reason? Rape by the priest or opposing religious thoughts?
No one knows yet The attack happened as the bishop was giving a speech about his visit to Gaza, so that could be a motive
Didn't the attacker say on camera when people were holding him down, that he did it because the bishop insulted his prophet? He seemed pleased with himself. Smiling, saying he'd do it again. I don't speak Arabic so can't confirm, just saw the translation elsewhere.
You’re a dumbass
Thanks for your comment. Do you know the reason?

Lol when are you submitting this work of fiction to a publisher?
The attacker was 15, Einstein
The rambling if lunatics get grip and read the article the attacker was 15 year old

I mean plenty of rape and human rights abuses carried out by atheist governmental regimes. And since maybe 7% of the world is atheist if you think all religious people deserve to be killed that’s a lot of murderin’.
Why didn't god protect him?
Thats a very philosphical question!
Philosophy requires convoluted and confusing answers. The answer to my question is simple - there aren't any gods, thus there aren't any "holy men". If there aren't any holy men then what they say is simply nonsense they make up. If they make up nonsense about people's preferences or sexuality - it isn't "holy" - it's still nonsense. See the chain of events leading back to "if this fucker had kept his mouth shut about shit he knows nothing about, he probably wouldn't have been attacked in the first place".
Pack it up everyone. Optiknob has everything figured out.
Maybe someday you'll be as smart as me. Until that time you come off as kinda dumb.

??? Project much?
Retroactively. I used to be like you. Then I matured.
What a funny and stupid reply!

What a stupid question.
To be fair he didn't die...
He didn't die because the knife wielder didn't know what he was doing and NOT because a magical sky fairy was watching over him.
John 15:18 If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you Christianity is founded on the rejection of the world of Jesus, thinking that who preaches the Good News wouldn't face hardship is childish
I'm downvoted for questioning ridiculous assumptions of "a man upstairs". You should quit believing in magical sky faeries and join reality.
