'Panicked' London train commuters flee onto tracks when man reads bible out loud

[zealo]

I can. I don't support paranoia.

The London subway has been hit by actual terror attacks before. It's quite hard to blame people for getting scared when someone starts reading a religious script out loud in such a place.

[HAcoreRD]

sounds like something some psychopath would do. "repent thy sins" then start killing.

Huh reality is honestly more bizarre then fantasy. I never imagined that a turn evil spell would be effective in real life.

[McFuu]

Can't say I blame them, Europe has seen a rash of religious extremist violence. If something like this occurred someplace unexpected, I could see people thinking irrationally.

[Fencers]

Cool. People should be scared of believers in superstition and make believe.

[Independent voter]

People read the Bible out load all the time around here.

I don't blame people for wanting to get the fuck away from him. I would too - I'd rather look like a paranoid asshole and stay alive than be turned into red mist.

He could've easily been planning something dangerous. Luckily he wasn't, but honestly can you blame people for reacting like this based on recent events? A bomb was recently found in a London underground tube, after all.

Everybody will die eventually. Death is natural. People die, because it was their time to die, even if they die at 25 years old.

I don't want to live forever, well at least, not on this shitty world that has come to.

Ah today, where the first response to a troubling opinion is to panic and flail instead of simply asking them to stop that.

Muslims don't hold the trademark on terrorism. Anyone is capable of it, for any motive.

Well one would barely told difference betweem Quran and Bible... Both have very violent and disturbing contexts

We've seen muslims blowing themselvs up because of their books... you never know when someone throws rock into your face just because you're walking around shaved (yes that's in the bible)

Not all Muslims are terrorists but almost all terrorist in the west are Muslims.

[Collegeguy]

[Bathory]

"Surveys show that Great Britain is one of the most secular countries in the world. The "avowedly non-religious," The Guardian newspaper reported earlier this year, now make up half of Britain's population."

That surprised me. I figured the British would be quite gung-ho with their Church of England, considering they spent most of the past 400 years in a state of near war trying to keep Catholics from having any power. One of the queen's titles is "Defender of the Faith".

Er, the answer was in what you quoted:

"Some commuters "became scared when the man also began saying 'Death is not the end,'" a rider told the BBC."

Americans have a rather naive view of Christians since we are bombarded with their propaganda. However, out in the world, Christians are involved in atrocities themselves, and many in the UK are aware of that. For example, Christian militias are killing civilians in Africa this year. So when someone starts spouting out religious drivel and including a phrase such as "Death is not the end", that would be a sign to most intelligent people that something bad could very well happen, and it is time to leave.
