LOL! That's like saying "They had two lungs and they murdered millions." Yep, they all certainly did have two lungs ... and the fact that they all had two lungs in common had about as much to do with their murdering of millions as their atheism did.

You can't simply claim that they were all atheists and then assert that it was their atheism commonality that caused them to murder millions. That's a hideously constructed argument.

You have to PROVE that it was their atheism that caused them to murder. You can't just say it.

Now ... get to PROVING your assertion or stop misusing historical facts to suit your agenda.

Myself and every other knowledgeable historian thanks you in advance.

Your kind is doing a fine job of burning the Constitution enough as it is, thank you (not).

It's just really puke-inducing when fascists hide behind words like "freedom" when they have no intention of allowing others to be free.

You've demonstrated again and again your belief that fundamentalist Christianity should dominate everyone and that everyone should be made to obey your religion and bow to your god. Freedom? Pah!

It's like listening to criminals complain that their "freedom" is being curtailed because they can't steal, rape, or murder.

"But ... but ... why can't my religion do whatever it damn well pleases ... and do it to whomever we damn well please ... because it says so right here in the Bible!"

"And ... and ... if my religion CAN'T do whatever it damn well pleases ... and if my rights as a Christian do not supersede the rights of non-Christians, well ... you're just out to destroy Christianity! Yeah! You want to kill us all, put us in camps, toss us into gas chambers, feed us to lions like in the good ol' days, and otherwise strip us of our right to even say a prayer in our HEAD. Yeah! You meanies!"

Here's a Kleen-Ex.

Like you want to destroy atheism and OUR freedom to be non religious? Oh, of course you don't mind if we don't believe. Well you are a nice guy Jeff, but President Bush wasn't so nice, and we have had warning that we cannot trust you people to give us a fair deal.

George H.W. Bush "Atheist" Remark
Reporter (Roger I. Sherman): Surely you recognize the equal citizenship and patriotism of Americans who are atheists?
Bush: No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God. (1)

And I was looking for this one.

So we want a secular -society that allows freedom for LL religions, - or none - and not just the one you favour to do whatever it likes.

Jeff must be struggling if he needs to drag out the only argument he has left:

Stalin
Pol Pot
Hitler.

(1) It must be noted that this is based on one reporter's record, but Neither Bush nor his advisors have ever denied this. Though I do recall some attempts to whitewash over it, draw a line under it and "move on" at the time. And I have no doubt, reading Vizio and Jeff and they way they argue, that this is a view they would agree with, even if they said they didn't.

Thanks.

So how about it? Do you want to have a friendly exchange or just a one-way street where only you communicate your ideas?

What about it Raffs? Do you want to have a conversation with my dear old pal and blood brother Eusebius, who never, listens, never researches, never learns, never remembers and never admits he's wrong, beaten or debunked? Or would you rather spend hours yelling at flies: "Stop that bloody buzzing!!!"

None of them slaughtered anyone in the name of your god. Your god slaughtered the total world population, not to mention the animals. So not only do we have people slaughtering others in the name of this god but we have this same god doing the slaughtering! And don't forget all the Egyptian first borns.

This is a huge assumption.
More than 2,000 years of this myth is long enough and because the US is the only country in the WORLD where 42% of the population hold christian fundamentalists beliefs. History has clearly demonstrated that a nation full of christian fundamentalists, is a very dangerous place.

I posted the actual KRS Statute above on the tax 'break'... which Churchill Downs, Red River Gorge, The Bourbon Trail, the Yum Center, etc... also get.

And no, outside of that little town halfway between Lex and Cincy, few know, and fewer care, about this Ark Museum or the 'Creation' Museum he also opened. It is rarely on the news, in the paper, or a topic of conversation.

As has been pointed out numerous times, the two--TWO--figures you can possibly say this about didn't really kill in the name of atheism per se. Yes, religion was outlawed under Stalin and the Khmer Rouge, and I have no problem saying churches and the religious (along with all manner of other groups) were treated horribly under those regimes, what we might legitimately say about those evil bastards is that they replaced religion with a cult of personality, or a "religion of the state."

This doesn't forgive their atrocities, but their slaughter had to do with power and control. The fact many religious people suffered was incidental to the state/dictator seizing and retaining control and power. To say "Well, these a-holes were atheists and they killed off believers!" is a gross mischaracterization and misrepresentation of history.

Atheism fuels their mentality. Obviously since atheists believer life has no meaning and we are just organic bodies consuming resources then I can see someone completely lose empathy and value for human life.

OTOH, claiming Christians are hypocrites because of the actions of a few is illogical and wrong.

God slaughtered no one. God only took back what He gave in the first place. Your body, your talents, your job, your social life, your family, your car, all belongs to God. None of it would exist without God. He has every right to take it back.

If I built a house, gave it to a friend, and that friends uses the house to break the law or hurt people, I would want my house back. Or just tear it down.
