That was a pretty spectacular blow-up, but, speaking only for myself, I'll forgive one.

I didn't know Islam was a race...

You need only look at Northern Ireland. Protestant killing catholic because of their beliefs and vice verse.

Don't you notice that Adolf Hitler was also a Christian? You known what he did.

I'll just say that Hitler was a Christian, what about the crusades? Both involved terrible things, though both in gods name.

Not sure if anybody has pointed it out yet, but Jeffery Dahmer was most certainly not an Atheist during his killings. He often practiced Satanic rituals actually, and part of his defense revolved around the idea he believed he was Satan or involved with Satan. Know a lot of Atheists who believe in Satan?

The only references Dahmer ever made to being an Atheist came after his conversion to born-again Christianity. This is just the usual crap that a million born again Christians give about 'having been an Atheist' except that it's being said by a truly horrible human being and used by a disgusting pastor for propaganda purposes. I actually can't think of any serial killers who were Atheists. If you are going to make such a bold claim, I would go through the effort of knowing a little bit about your subject matter.

Atheism is actually Satanism in disguise as a lot of Christians really know.

That's funny, because the FBI says differently. In case you don't want to sift through all of this legitimate information from the very people who hunt serial killers...

1) Click this link:

2) Hit CTRL + F (windows) or Command + F (Mac)

3) Type "religion"

4) Read

5) Come back here and make that claim you made again

I don't see religious/Atheistic people. I see bat shit crazies. And bat shit crazy doesn't care what color you are or what you believe in.

But aside from serial killers...

Hey Atheists, don't you just notice that 99.999999999999% of all wars fought involved religion?

I get the original purpose of the thread but it flies in the face of the more obvious point for why people deride those of faith for their crimes.

you see, those of faith have long, long made the claim [for thousands of years in fact] that faith = good and faithlessness = bad. They have always made the claim that being faithful makes you a better person and to be a non-believer made you less than human. Cut to today where the ideas of what is good and considered moral have since evolved past the point of mindless devotion, to inquisitive answer-seeking of the universe and its properties.

We point at those of religious faiths who commit these atrocities not because their faith induces it, but rather because we simply are pointing out a simple fact of life; religion a better person does not make, despite the still-constant claims made otherwise.

I agree completely. I don't bring up religious atrocities to claim that atheism is somehow morally superior to religion. I do it to show that religion=/=good. That there are both atheist murderers and Christian murderers does a very good job of proving that the Christian god does nothing to make her followers morally superior to anyone else.

I feel I have to say at this point that AtlasS regrets the comments he made in earlier posts. To that end and as advised, I have added explanatory footnotes to the more inflammatory ones. Please take this into account when considering replying to them. Thank you.
