You mean to tell me that God commanded me to rape and torture people. Aw shucks...hide yo kids...hide yo wife...
YES, but no. The bible says it's ok, so it's not wrong according to the bible.
Mao and Stalin didn't murder in the name of atheism. They killed political opponents and anyone they didn't like. You won't find atheists flying planes into buildings or blowing up buildings as a revenge for Waco.
Atheism is just a lack of belief, it doesn't have a wackjob doctrine that commands rape and torture.
Are you devoid of using a dictionary, we are NOT a religion like you. We just do NOT believe.
When Pope Urban II, whom catholics believe speaks for god on earth, started the crusades, the first of which ended with the massacre of Jerusalem's population, the christians at the time thought it was "god's will". So these people committed these horrific acts because they believed it was what god was telling them to do.
