Persecution is persecution regardless of motivation. When atheists persecute the religious it is simply because the atheists don't like religion and having contempt for the religious.You're still trying to sell snake oil, lol. None of your boogeymen were "atheists persecuting religion because they didn't like religion". They were despots persecuting dissidents. They fucking -love- their own pet religions.
I get that you've had this line of garbage jammed into you head, but you have to stop listening to whomever is doing that to you.
Quote:You say that the medieval inquisitions and examples of religious violence were proportionately as bad if not worse than the 20th century wars, purges and ethnic cleansing in the context of their time and means available to them. I beg to differ.OFC you would, you have religions to excuse and paint as victims, and you'll certainly need to find some way to ambulate around the fact that their victimizers were also religious by brute force of demographics.
Quote:The truth is that if you look at the Spanish Inquisition, only about 1% of the total people who were tried were executed. That pales in comparison to the number of people that have been killed unjustly by 20th century authoritarian states with atheism as their official ideology, even if you want to compare proportionately.-and again you shit the bed.
Quote:And if you say that the atrocities committed by atheist states really had nothing to do with atheism but was about power and politics, the same is certainly true for the old religious wars. Religion was only used as a pretext for underlying motivations of wanting power.-and again.
Quote:As for me listening to alt-right material...it's simple "know thy enemy". As a racial and religious minority I'm probably more at risk from the rise of the Far-Right than you are. Of course I have a greater interest in understanding them than a white atheist who can afford to ignore them.You're more at risk of picking up their nonsense by contact, as well....which you have. I notice that you still don't realize that you're parroting rightwing american christer propaganda from the cold war. More than a little bit of irony there, considering the OPQ, don't you think?
I'm immune, through long exposure, lol. I can't actually ignore them..though, because they're fucking up my country and have been for some time, just as they've been fucking everything up since time immemorial...not that you see any of that....ofc.
