Well if we want to look at the moral argument, when people blame religion for bombings and wars in general, they seem to ignore the tragic history of the 20th century, which saw more deaths from acts of violence and oppression than all previous centuries put together. These were systematically inflicted on millions of people by their own governments. Names like Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Pol Pot have become infamous, all atheists. So to say that atheism is this harmless belief system, is very flawed indeed.
So we can add "History" to the list of subjects you know nothing about. Keep going. You're headed for the title of dumbest guy on the Forum.... and it takes work to beat out Dripshit.
Quote:Why was Stalin able to set up a cult of personality?
Stalin was a murdering thug. People followed him out of fear not because he was some great leader. In that, he was sort of like the medieval popes. Got to give Stalin one thing though. Unlike fucking jesus at least he was real. The other thing you have to give Stalin is that he beat that xtian shit Hitler like a rented mule.
