Ignorant Atheists?

[leo-rcc]

Why would you even consider that a good person thinks it is good to tolerate murder? That makes no sense.

Well, I think from one perspective you could argue that supporters of the death penalty might fall into this category. The death penalty is murder, albeit murder by the state. Supporters of the death penalty aren't usually people who are bloodthirsty, they are usually disillusioned into thinking that by killing the criminal you get rid of the problem, and that it acts as a deterrent.

So I disagree that a good person can think it is good to tolerate *all* murder, but they can with specific examples.

That is not what was argued here though. And whether a person is good or not the death penalty has supporters on either side, theists and atheists, so faith doesn't come into question here. I don't support the DP since it is no more than senseless vengeance seeking.
