I will present arguments until they are refuted. If you don’t like them, refute them, you whining about them doesn’t get you anywhere.

No it doesn’t, it falls on the person doing the deed.
Quote: We'd blame god if he existed but we know that's just a copout.
You can’t account for any moral authority that you could even use to charge God with anything, talk about trying to wage war with an invisible sword.
Quote: You see, no one can claim that atheism commands anything, or gives any rights.
Of course they can, as Jeffrey Dahmer pointed out, if there really is no God then nobody owns you and you can do whatever you feel like doing to anyone you feel like doing it to.
Quote: Reconsider your beliefs and stop perpetuating a cycle of violence and disregard for human life.
A pro-choice atheist lecturing a pro-life Christian about having regard for human life is absurd.

I completely agree, although it's regrettable you don't include into your list of ideologies the atheistic ones. Perhaps it just slipped your mind, I hope this is the case.
