I'm not going to start a debate right now because it'll be pointless anyway.
But if I said anything about the bad things atheism did in the past you wouldn't like it too. I respected that and kept it to where we are in the world today. I am not sensitive about any religion and there are 1% crazies in every group everywhere who wish to interfere with other groups- christians, muslims, hindus, Buddhist and even atheists.
BUT now we've reached a limit. And bad things have been done in the name of atheism. Atheist communist states like former Soviet Union under stalin confiscated religious buildings and monasteries, preached ridicule of religion in schools. Don't even get me started on the number of people Stalin or chairman Mao killed. I expect educated people as yourselves to know that the number of people killed during these regimes exceeds the people killed during the Crusades
/ witch hunts.
So see? The good things about atheism like . . . I don't know . . . Secularism, is far outweighed by evils like the communist regimes
I could say that tragic episode is the sole way atheists should be portrayed. But I know it's much more than that. Wouldn't THAT be narrow way of looking at things?
You say a few christians are messing with your civil rights. But a certain communist country of atheists across the ocean are STILL persecuring christians even to this day.
Wouldn't saying atheists follow a murderous ideology be a narrow way of looking at something?
Exactly . . . That's my point
