Did these evil atheists do these evil things because there was no god? I'm being serious here, was that specifically their reason for doing bad things?
And as for outmatching theists in terms of sheer brutality, I'm sceptical of that, remind me again, how many crusades were there? 6? 7? How many witch burnings? How many stonings?
Well at least you used the other logical fallacy. Even if you had 100 crusades, they wouldn't equate to the crimes of just one of those despots.
Agenda, I can "divine" where they get their ideas because those atheists like to link to those blogs like they want more people to visit them. I mean, the university websites disproved what the Yank was passing off as evolution theory.
The WBC and min's islamophobic rants focused on the hijab. Also, they also share the same views on Christian groups, especially their constant ravings about the Catholic Church.
The issue the author was illuminating stated that it was the religious who were the ones doing the actual good and that even the minority atheists had to team up with them because the atheists with clout were wasting time on petty issues that really didn't matter (an American saying I have heard describes the latter's attitudes perfectly...First World problems).
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
