I'm sorry you hate God so much that His word offends you, and makes you so angry.

You have it all wrong sandgirl. Atheists do not believe there is a god. One cannot hate what does not exist.

No, not correct.
Chairman Mao who killed over 50 million of his people. Stalin who killed over 35 million of his people. Poll Pot who killed over 3 million of his people. All of these dictators were atheist.

Eight-hundred and nine million people have died in religious wars. That’s nearly a billion people.

I swear... I can't count how many times I've debunked this...

Can you find literature or quotes for me saying that Mao, Stalin, Pot, etc... were all doing what they were doing in the name of Atheism? Or, were they doing it in the name of Communism whose prerequisite was non-belief because an individualistic idea (religion, belief, etc..) conflicts with a "utopian" communist state?

On top of that, if you look at places like modern day North Korea, the people in that country view their "great leader" not as a communist leader but as a demi-god. If anything, Kim Jong Il has turned that country into a very religious state. That religious state being one that worships him.

GCS, you get to debunk once again, and again, and again.
I'm always interested in why christians fear atheism/agnosticism so much.

They were not doing it in the name of atheism, but from an athiest view point as their personal motivation.

Atheist viewpoint as motivation? Explain to me how that works and if you have evidence that says Mao, Stalin, Pot did such as justification than I'd like to see it. Otherwise, it stands as an uneducated assumption.
