Supreme Court Same Sex Marriage Argumet

[Redbeard The Pink]

Ace, I'm not even gonna try to quote that mess, but I'll try to address at least some of it.

First off, christians kill other christians all the time. That is a non-argument.

As for church closings, Hitler was trying to create a unified German church. He wasn't trying to get rid of religion, he was trying to get rid of everything except the state religion, and the state religion was a Christian German Church. Again, 10 seconds spent with google would have taught you this. Nazi Germany was Christian, and they were closing churches to set up their own unified church. Look it up.

Again, Stalin was power-mad, and religion (aside from its other failings) can inspire people to threaten and sometimes overthrow earthly authority. Stalin's efforts against religion were likely in favor of empowering the state, not setting up atheism as the official state position. Stalin was destroying power threats, not opposing ideologies. Same thing with Mao. Yes, China is still imperialistic and puts a lot of pressure and heavy scrutiny on religion, but technically the Chinese have more religious freedom today than they did under older forms of Chinese Communism.

Unless you can provide figures that definitively show that violence is more common amongst non-religious people, you have nothing. Isolated examples from history are nothing more than anecdotes, and even the ones you've presented are either wrong or debatable as to whether it was atheism or some other factor that accounts for the actual violence.
