I am more scared of the terrorists who use bombs and knives...There are theological terrorists also, the people who would try to frighten people of the end of days, day of judgment, eternal hells and tortures therein. They shoot with their mouth, writings and web pages.

I'm of two minds here. Personally I find those people just ridiculous.There are theological terrorists also, the people who would try to frighten people of the end of days, day of judgment, eternal hells and tortures therein. They shoot with their mouth, writings and web pages.

Whilst you have a point that seems technically true, beware the impracticality of treating those who terrorise with empty threats the same as those who terrorise with genuine threats (such as listed by @Estro Felino in post #3)There are theological terrorists also, the people who would try to frighten people of the end of days, day of judgment, eternal hells and tortures therein.

On the other hand, there are people who get terrorized by those messages and some of them by no fault of their own, children especially. I can't blame children for believing that ****.
They scare children and I don't expect children to have the mental capacity to see through their empty threats (though some have). Therefore it should be prohibited to even try to terrorize children.Exactly. One is free to criticize their beliefs...but calling them terrorists is slightly unfair because they do not scare anybody
How do you propose to enforce it?They scare children and I don't expect children to have the mental capacity to see through their empty threats (though some have). Therefore it should be prohibited to even try to terrorize children.
I don't. But I think it could be done in similar ways as other prohibited things are enforced. In Germany it is prohibited to show hard porn to minors. It is prohibited to call for crimes (not only minors). They have possibilities to enforce those.How do you propose to enforce it?
YES.There are theological terrorists also, the people who would try to frighten people of the end of days, day of judgment, eternal hells and tortures therein. They shoot with their mouth, writings and web pages.
You have another one, Sunstone my friend."Terrorist" is an interesting term to apply to them, and perhaps a bit problematic in some ways, but I see your point. There certainly are factions in many religions that exploit fear to persuade people. Many people find that sort of manipulation offensive, especially when it occurs in their own religion.
For instance, I have at least two or three Christian friends who are furious with 'hellfire and brimstone' preachers. Probably more upset with them than nearly any militant atheist.
They can scare vulnerable people who are perhaps experiencing a crisis in their lives.Exactly. One is free to criticize their beliefs...but calling them terrorists is slightly unfair because they do not scare anybody

Okay..but maybe I was not understanding how far they can go.They can scare vulnerable people who are perhaps experiencing a crisis in their lives.
On the face of it, it seems like a mantra, but IMHO it is just as ineffective. They are people on a mission.Love conquers all
