Do u want there to be a God? Any God?

[Simon Moon]

I adhere to many things.  Atheism, however, concerns one's state of belief in gods.

Do you understand?

I think you don't understand.  You choose to be atheist.  Why?  Blind reason?  If not, there must be something.

Beliefs are not a choice. They are the psychological state of being convinced of a premise or proposition.

I am not convinced that gods exist, therefore I disbelieve the proposition theists posit that they do exist.

I have no choice in the matter. If a theist was able to convince me (through the use of demonstrable evidence and valid and sound logic), I would be compelled to believe their claim.

Stance that has caused many innocent people to be senselessly murdered.  It doesn't need "religion", but just someone lunatic using it as an excuse to slaughter people.


Atheism is a natural and inseparable part of Marxism, of the theory and practice of scientific socialism. Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism. - Vladimir Lenin

But it wasn't atheism that was the motivator behind murderous totalitarian regimes. It was the fact that they were murderous totalitarian regimes.

Communism, as it was practiced in the past, just replaced an infallible god, with an infallible State. The problem with Communism as it was practiced, was not that it was secular and atheistic, the problem was it was too much like religion.

You want proof?

Sweden (80% atheist), Denmark (70% atheist), Norway, Finland, Iceland, all over 60% atheist.

Please point to the mass murdering Swedish or Norwegian regimes...

Augusto Pinochet and Adolph Hitler were Catholics, by the way.
