I think we've already established sufficiently that anyone can be a nut, and kill and torture in the name of anything or nothing.

I don't think anyone has done anything in the name of atheism except publish books. Null point.
The concept of atheism, perhaps may have been one agreeable argument to some serial killers, angry husbands/wives, non-religious 'nuts', and just your garden variety general criminals which had another person accidental death happen or any other variation.
But I am sure there were a few other emotions going through their head which lead to the butchery, other than the grand concept of life and its amazement, and why it's wrong to play the role of executioner.
Sheezzz weird , you got to tell us the induction requirements to your church
Lil, Bobby, I am a Catholic, and read and understand everyone's criticisms to it, on other threads. I believe there is enough information already available on the web to respond, otherwise go see an f#$@ing priest (yup we are allowed to swear).
Thanks for the reply , at least you have the guts to say , nice to see a godly person swear , bless you my son
I stand to be corrected, but I believe The Soviets forcibly enforced atheism and killed to that end... i.e. banned religion.Not aware of any killings in the name of atheism, but happy to be corrected. Religion and communism appear to hold the Gold and Silver medals
That's an interesting comment Bobby, about being a 'godly person', which is actually what most practicing people battle against the most. Hence we seek forgiveness for failing.
I think being a godly person, is not about perfection, but reflecting, and trying to improve oneself, but also understanding that some people can be such dicks.

Every communist atrocity IS in the name of atheism. Militant atheism is at the heart of communism.
The atheism provides the rationale for the atrocities. There is no Judgement Day. Life is just matter, random chemicals. Evolution is survival of the fittest. It's nature's way.
It's just humans being humans
While you are busy arguing semantics, the rest of us are here to discuss our opinions, which are obviously based on our own points of reference.
Now, the question is do you believe that killing people in the name of religion is right or wrong? If right, why? If wrong, why? But don't tie up the board with all this other crap!
Yes, people will always kill people.I would have thought you all would have opened a gun debate by now..
'Gun nuts'....Lets all ban hunting.....I mean, they are all dangerous with that gun arent they?
Is it the gun that kills people, or is it people that kill people?
Its the same debate..
Yes, people will always kill people.
Let's just not arm them to do so then.
Less damage that way.
Sorry, I thought you were making an analogy to religion being the cause of violence, like guns.OK well then you better shut down all the Mental Health Units then, seems to be a big reason as well........
ie, it's people, not religion, that is the source of the problem.
I was trying to confirm what your intent was.Thats exactly right...
