Fair enough comment if you truly believe that….

However, I’m happy to live by the moral standards set by the ten commandments written in the old testament.

I’m not happy to live by the moral standards told to me by governments

i.e . “Climate change is the greatest moral challenge of our time”

Calliope......thank you for a good laugh. Yep! The bible is full of truths like that!

As recently as 1979, the Cambodian genocide killed 1.7 million people. These were murdered by communist atheists.

The godhaters are just as mad as the godbotherers.

At your brilliant best again GG :rolleyes: The Khmer Rouge leadership sure were atheists and communists...they were also mostly French educated men under 5 feet 10 in height that ate alot of rice.

So following your line of thinking GG .. Eating rice, communism, gods, botherers, French education, atheism, and impaired height all lead to genocidel tendency's. :rolleyes: But then the greatest genocide in our time (deaths per day) was carried out by Christian Hutu's in Rwanda who coincidently used to be a french educated, are short in stature, and eat rice.

And I would add to that throwing a leg over Carla Bruni.

So there are many out there with genocidal tendencies.

Sounds very much like the religious folk you detest. You have a lot more in common than you think. ;)

Much like how the Tooth fairy, Santa Claus, gods and the abominable snowman have at-least one thing in common. ;)
 
Did anyone read George Pell's rediculous comments in the papers today trying to defend the Pope. Whatever respect I might have had for the man dissolved.
 
Those who try to pass the Holocaust off as being the product of atheism, because of the very disputable claim that Hitler was an atheist, forget one very important fact. The Holocaust wasn't the work of one man but of an entire nation that was overwhelmingly Christian. The philosophical underpinnings that allowed that nation to attempt to exterminate from the face of the earth one particular religious minority was the belief that the Jewish people were responsible for the death of Jesus Christ, the son of the Christian God, and that they collectively shared the guilt for that act. Though not a view formally espoused by the Christian churches anymore, it is however the underlying cause for the 2000 year persecution of the Jews and ultimately the reason that the Holocaust was perpetrated by those in power and a blind eye turned to it by much of the rest of the world.

Religion was the cause of the Holocaust, not atheism, irrespective of the personal beliefs of Hitler.

Breathtaking lunacy. Breathtaking.

Unless you refer to Marxism as a religion in this case. In which case we are agreed. Marx predicted the holocaust, Hitler used his ideas. Nazism & Soviet Marxism = Coke vs Pepsi. But in the PC age, we aren't allowed to point out that some religions are different from others, any more than some people are different from others. That's now taboo.

Eradicating a religion was among the purposes of the holocaust (aka The Great Socialist Conflagration.) Why did they want to wipe out Judaeism, and catholicism? Because benign religions stand in the way of totalitarianism. Why else would they always, always eradicate it? (Or turn it into a tool of the state, as per examples already given & ignored.)

But then this has been covered many times in this thread. As Adolf's minister of propoganda said, if you're going to tell a lie, make it a big one.

You were clearly paying attention.

I have a similar view Atlas. They are ideological cousins that only one-eyed inbreds tend to follow for want of a better analogy. Both dictatorial and funded by banking puppet masters.
 
Religion is never the cause of disaster. It has always been and always will be stupid people.

Religion, being the organisation imposing its dogma, indoctrinates people and therefore makes them stupid. Religion is the culprit Fishbulb.

As is the Pope and his cronies in shielding bent priests
 
This thread has about exhausted itself for me. Unless a new direction opens up, I'm done with it.
 
Some citizens arrests can go disastrously wrong. I remember a newspaper report some time back when a group of citizens arrested a youth who stole a handbag. After a long struggle they sat on him until police arrived, unfortunately he'd been suffocated.
 
Time to shut this thread down at long last I think.

Sadly, the level of debate has not improved and from the looks of things is unlikely to.
