No, Jesus never said any of that. But there are something like 613 commandments in the bible, some of which include: stone homosexuals, kill atheists and the entire village in which they live, burn witches, kill people who work on the Sabbath.

No no no no. What the actual fuck? These theists calling for atheists to be shot and killed have never actually met an atheist. They become irrationally offended when anything negative is said about their religion. It's the one thing that you just can't talk about. I can tell you how crap your football team is, I can tell you your political views are wrong, but when it comes to religion, followers go absolute batshit crazy.

Have you been watching the news this past year? ISIS ring any bells?

Like religious people many atheists have faith, faith in their dominions, and no matter how much evidence I presented to them they would not believe. They... all of them... rejected the evidence like creationists reject evolution, the atheists I debated with held on to their faith.
Did you actually provide any evidence or did you simply claim there is some? The latter me thinks.

It tore me asunder to know that atheists whom I long believed were intellectual rational beings were just like the followers of religion whom I had been 'fighting' against for so long. Now I only have one mission in life, to promote peace and equality among the many clans of humanity, and to end the corruption that is rife in the dominions. To do that I need to learn how to change you, how to make you look at the REAL problem.
I'm an atheist and i'm nothing like a theist. I have no dogma, no world view, no creed, and I am capable of critically analysing claims and situations and adjusting my beliefs based on available evidence and I can assess the credibility of the source of that evidence. I do not blindly follow anything. You are wrong to claim that atheists are just like theists.
