Where is this philosopher now? Then he must not be immortal...
The Bible states that the first humans,Adam & Eve had a choice- they could either listen to God or not. They chose not to and from then on man was a fallen creature,and only if he repents and calls on God will God listen.
Huh?
Why would you think any philosopher is immortal?
Makes no sense as a response to the Epicurian train of logic.
Yes, interesting map. But it counts Baptists, Catholics, Lutherans, Mormons, Jews, Muslims, and even Unitarians as well as all the others in total numbers. It is a map of the "churched". Bible belt usually is understood to refer to the evangelical fundamentalist Christian denominations.

i live in one of those little white counties in Idaho, and i would swear it is like bible belt lite. in my opinion, the county needs to be one shade closer to red..... i can't really speak for the rest of the counties in the US.
Semantics is the study of meanings in a language. The words can be compared but do not mean the same thing. An agnostic believes that it is impossible to know whether a god exists. Atheists believe god or gods do not exist.
That is a false analogy. Just because A (Communism) and B (Atheism) share similarities, and A has C (responsible of millions of deaths), does not result in B having C.
People were killed for a lot of different reasons. They were not killed in the name of Atheism. Atheism is not organised under a common doctrine (belief system).
