Atheist Fundamentalism
#21
RE: Atheist Fundamentalism
If you're creative enough in your interpretation, you can turn any ideology into a horrible blood bath. Yes, you can even turn atheistic, scientific ideologies bad. The idea of survival of the fittest has been used to justify eugenics before. But just because they use a douchebag interpretation of a theory doesn't mean the theory isn't legitimate. Evolution is true whether someone uses it to justify atrocities or not.

Likewise, the opposite is true: even if people use their religion as a force of good, like Martin Luther King Jr. did, their religion is still factually incorrect. I don't care if every Christian on earth was a really great, peace loving person, the Bible would still be incorrect.

But the fact that the Bible and the Koran both have people killing others and even each other over it's words leads me to believe that maybe it's not all as perfect as we would have been led to believe. I mean, if it includes misunderstandings severe enough that we're going to kill each other over them, that's a significant imperfection, isn't it?
