My Thoughts On Militant Atheism

[Mister Agenda]

Even though I am an atheist, I believe in hell, I define hell as a place of pure ignorance. You purveyor of misinformation and ignorance, how shall I see you other than in my form of hell? I sincerely hope that you will abandon your hatred,, for it has made you blind, deaf, and dumb.

Yours has made you an ass.

These things you have said only keep you in your own little world of hatred. Were you to accept that it is not religion that causes problems in this world, then you would finally be able to help others.

No one here thinks religion is the only cause of problems in the world.

But here you sit with your tongue of falsehoods. How should I treat you?

With Biblical-sounding rhetoric, apparently.

After I worked sincerely to clear up the misunderstanding of those quotes that JesusHChrist had erroneously posted believing that they were fanatic calls to war?

I knew what you would find. They don't have to be fanatical calls to war for fanatics to use them as calls to war.

How do you expect me to respect you after such a post as yours?

I've yet to see any indication that you respect anyone.

Truly you reside in a hell far worse than any theology can create.

You underestimate theology. See how long you can grasp a 400-degree-Farenheit heating coil and get back to us on how much worse it is to be in a condition of disagreeing with you.

I do not see the point you are trying to make. So the Arabs created a new State and Religion and managed to conquer all of Persia and the Byzantine Empire?

That seems to be the case. Wouldn't you think the point is that they didn't do that by only fighting defensive wars?

You do not claim that the Persians were following Ahura Mazda's command at conquest or that the Byzantines were following Yahwehs to build their empires do you?

Whatever their various religions commanded, it clearly didn't hinder their empire-building.

It was a magnificent feat the Arabs managed to do, a conquest on the scale of Alexander the Greats but instead of calling them Arabs, you call them Muslims, instead of viewing it as ingenious military tactics, you view it as a war of oppression by these Muslims against Pagans, Christians, and Zoroastrians.

And instead of calling the Arabs who conquered the Arabs Muslims, you call them Arabs. Yes, when people are being conquered, murdered, oppressed, and enslaved, perhaps I don't give their exquisite military tactics the appreciation they deserve.

There is great cause for you to worry, for this is the only time in history where people make these assumptions and you all to readily agree to their definitions.

Yes, most of the modern world has given up on empire-building, though it took a hell of a long time to reach that point.

The ARABIC Caliphates ushered in a golden age of thought, advancing many fields such as science, medicine, and astronomy. But you give them no thanks. Shameless are you in your ignorance.

Shameless are you in your pretentiousness. Thank goodness for the Golden Age of Islam. Too bad it's long gone, due almost entirely to fundamentalist fanatics winding down the clock of Arab progress.

I said I was ashamed to be labeled with other atheists, I have no shame in being an atheist, just when people define atheists they look at the worst and will define me as the worst. Just how atheists view religious people only by looking at their worst and grouping them altogether as the worst.

The way you do with other atheists?
