I Am Christ

[Aegrus]

You guys have pretty well done that, no? We have histories of whole countries run by atheists exploring "new" ideas. It did not work out well. Upwards of 60 million innocent people were killed, murdered, starved to death in the last 100 years by atheist leaders-- more people than all the religious wars in all of history combined. God forbid a skeptic would stand up to Stalin or Mao. That is not to say Christians did not do evil, but a rational person would compare their works to the teachings of Jesus.

First of all, Mao Zedong killed about 1 million people. 65 million died of starvation (edit- famine). He was evil, and a terrible leader, and he was an atheist. But he didn't come close to approaching Hitler.

Now, as for Stalin- Stalin was Catholic. Pol Pot was Buddhist.

Here's one of my sources. I can provide more, but I doubt you'll even read this one, so why bother.

These leaders get reputations as atheists for destroying churches- but all too often, they are simply trying to destroy every church except their church. That was Stalin's motivation.

Pol Pot said he didn't believe in god- but he did believe in guiding powers of fate that wanted him to act on their behalf. He also attacked science as much as organized religion. Too often, I hear fundies pull these people out as "evidence" that atheism is evil- and every time, I'm stunned that everyone just accepts it as fact when we question everything else so carefully. Do some research on their actual lives. They are not atheists. (Except Mao.)
