How dare you call hilter a christian ! I did not say he was, HE DID !

Anyways, if you all dont what the war issue then dont bring it up.
I didn't bring up the war issue, someone else did. Well, I think it's difficult to call Hitler a Christian when he expressed his dismay that Europe wasn't Islamic as Islam would've served his purposes better--that doesn't sound like a Christian to me!

First of all, I think we settled this in another forum...anyway. Maybe part of this could be attributed to the fact that atheists haven't been very substantial in numbers until later centuries and still only account for 150 million people. What you're saying is a little like this: Californians killed more than people from Coudersport, Pennsylvania.

Do not fear, as we learn more and more about the world and the universe, there will be more and more atheist.

Wonderful what knowledge can do, it is true the truth shall set you free.

And one day, there wont be any religion at all and then finally we can be truly free.

With the 5 billion religious, that'll take quite a while...

Well there was a time when the majority of the population believed the earth was flat, and now they are very much the minority.

Sadly they are still out there though, but not taken very serious

Someday theism will just like the flat eathers

Maybe, but that is not in my control. Perhaps it won't though as the existence of God is rather unprovable one way or the other...the idea that the earth is a globe is pretty secure.

Both accusations are baseless.

Uhmm did you check out the site ? There are still people who seriously think the earth is flat.

Oh yea and mental illness used to be attributed to demons, what is your take on that ?

Do you hold to the belief in demons, or do you believe the truths that science has taught us ?
