You know, I was there and it's unbelievable that what I saw on tv that day back all these years happened there...

It's so sad.

I'm still wondering how people are able to do something like that out of religious reasons. It's really one of the reasons why religion is poisonous for me... Religion IMO is one of the biggest problems of humanity. And please, I don't want offend anybody who is religious here but I believe that some of the conflicts and crisis we have now wouldn't be there if no religion existed.

I can definitely understand what you say. Religion is toxic because people take it and transform it into something they want it to be instead of what “all” religions pretty much say which is to love others. You don’t want to get me on my soap box.

Lauren Helen Graham · 09-18-2019, 11:22 AM

That's exactly what I wanted to say

I'm glad you get it because I really don't want anybody to feel uncomfortable about what I said. Toxic is the right word to describe it and I think Red once had a quote where he said exactly the same... I was so agreeing with him back then and still do.

Fangirl49 · 09-18-2019, 11:26 AM

Yep Red did say something like that. Think it was the episode where the man had the gay son

Christianity is meant to be beautiful welcoming inclusive and love filled. It’s just people who act that way in church and leave and act how they want.

I have said a lot of times in my own church that people who don’t know Christ or religion know what it says. And they look at Christians to live out that message.

And then they see us acting in ways that are so different from loving your neighbor.

Anyway, I totally get what you and me friend Red are talking about.

Oh yes, that's true. Could have been that episode and he said it to the father. But not completely sure if there wasn't another one either.

You know, I think all religions are meant to be that. It's just people who try to turn the good into something bad.

Fangirl49 · 09-20-2019, 01:50 PM

You’re right. He may have said it more than once.

Lauren Helen Graham · 09-22-2019, 01:41 AM

But back to Hisham/Dembe I guess, huh?

Miranda · 09-22-2019, 02:11 AM

Yes let's get back to him.

Lauren Helen Graham · 09-26-2019, 08:31 AM

He seems to be really excited for the return of the show, too

Miranda · 09-27-2019, 02:22 AM

He does.

Lauren Helen Graham · 09-28-2019, 01:43 AM

I love that.

He is simply amazing.

Miranda · 09-29-2019, 02:29 AM

He really is.

Lauren Helen Graham · 09-30-2019, 05:28 AM

He's as excited as we are for the new episode

I'm wondering if he might live tweet or something during the season premiere.

Fangirl49 · 09-30-2019, 11:52 AM

I hope we get to see a lot of Dembes feelings this season.

Lauren Helen Graham · 10-01-2019, 01:41 AM

Me, too

I want to know what he's been up to while he was gone and why and how he came back just in time to save Red...
