The Image Problem With Atheism in America

[Mister Agenda]

Your evasion has been noted.

By your logic, atheists evade every Christian that makes a point they don't even notice. Your insult towards Vulcan sensibility has been noted.

If we said we didn't notice it because it 'didn't pass muster', that would indeed be an evasion. you can't determine whether something passes muster unless you notice it first.

You mean how I had to constantly do the same for you? Must be annoying having to be the one babysitting this time around.

The logical fallacy is killing in the name of atheism when you try and apply the same to Christians. I don't even need to go further than that because you have already gotten yourself stuck in the mud on that fallacy alone. It's people like you who say stupid shit and then try and drag other atheists down with you.

Speaking of fallacies, the one you're committing is 'apples to oranges'. No one kills in the name of atheism. No one kills in the name of theism. Both are opinions on one topic and don't contain the ideological wherewithal to be used as motivation to kill or much of anything else. They aren't belief systems, they aren't worldviews. The most they can be is a feature of a belief system or worldview.

People have killed in the name of atheistic communism and theistic Christianity. That would be a valid comparison, but it doesn't get you the equivalency you want, because hardly any of us are communists, so you conflate the actions of bad people who are atheists with their atheism, so you can invidiously blame the crimes of totalitarian communist states on 'people like us'. It's the equivalent of us blaming 'people like you' for the crimes of Muslim extremists because you're a theist.

You can validly compare atheists and theists, you can validly compare communisists and Christians, but you can't validly compare atheists and Christians. You could validly compare humanists and Christians, but you won't.
