Where's the line between atheist and oppressor?

Pretty sure Knowledge of God is long gone, guys.

Is that irony?

[The Valkyrie]

I'm pretty sure that historically religious people have oppressed the masses a lot more than atheists. While there may have been atheist leaders who oppressed people, they didn't have a book that commanded them to kill everyone that didn't conform to their beliefs.

You're either a troll, or quite ignorant. The ONLY thing atheism is, is the non belief in a deity. Aside from that, atheists run the gamut between a generous, law abiding citizen, and a dictator that doesn't worship any gods.

To be able of having non-belief in a deity, there must be one, right?

Can you have non-belief in a deity if the deity does not exist? I find it kind of weird going around claiming not to believe in something which does not exist.

The point of atheists seems to be of a contradicting belief. You are the strangers upon this earth. God created this earth and your butt. Everything on earth is created by God and is His. It's not my problem if he kills you just because you don't behave. If you ever cared about your life anyway.

Daniel 9;9 The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him;

Bullshit. Non belief of a god does not prove its existence. After all, do you apply the same "logic" to your non belief in Thor, Zeus, Odin, etc?

No, your religion claims your imaginary friend did all those things. Reality and science state differently.

Nope. He-she is still around, lurking in the shadows.

Understandable after the ass-whoopin' he's received in this thread.

Where's the line between rejecting the reality of God and accepting people who do accept said reality.

I've got the impression atheists not only reject the reality of God, they are busy with oppressing those who do believe too.

We all know Jesus said to pray for those who do bad to you.

Personally, I think the line lies right about the same place as the threshold of your church. Who the fuck are you to whine about oppression in a world where religion teaches hatred of everyone who doesn't act like you, believe like you, have sex like you, eat the same foods as you, et cetera, all based on an ancient book. When you ass-hats quit trying to legislate your buy-bull codes then, maybe, you can start pissing and moaning about oppression.

Piss-off, KoG!

I find it endlessly ironic the way that Christianity insists on depicting it's self as a "victim".

Considering that (according to their fairy tales) their "savior" was the ultimate victim, sinless and innocent but executed on behalf of all the guilty sinners, I see no irony at all in them playing the martyr.

Whatever, just don't blame me for knowing no God.

I don't. I do blame you for buying into the bullshit though.

If something does not exist not believing in it is exactly the correct response......how come you no know this?

Then pretty much every deity that has ever invented actually exist. Because according to your logic I don't believe in neither Zeus, Quetzalcoatl and Amateratsu therefor they exist.

…So we are the ones who don't understand this earth?

So this is the sound of another Christian fuckwit gloating over the imaginary damnation of other people. What a tool!

Quit being jealous.

Were not jealous of you, we feel sorry for you.

Oppressing? Really?

You are the living example of the christian in this video.

I didn't realize that "atheists" and "oppressors" lay on the same continuum.

I also didn't realize that disagreeing with someone was a form of oppression.

The things you learn, these days!

[Dystopia]

You are not being oppressed, at least in most places in the world, it's the other way around. What is the worst an atheist (or even anti theist) will do? Write a few books criticizing religion and promoting critical thinking? Making public statements? Nothing more than that. Of course there will be a handful of atheists that will defend banning religion (completely stupid proposition from a legal perspective since we can't control what people think or believe in) or executing religious people, but those are a minority and I do not corroborate with their views. Why do Christians discriminate atheists? Why do they keep saying 'believe or go to hell?'? And why do they keep wanting to influence laws because of their religion? Seriously any sane person should promote secularism, theist or atheist, you should fight for people to have rights, not to have rights based on your religion

[Bad Wolf]

Are there really atheists that want to execute religious people?

Astounding, isn't it.
