And to even suggest that this person may have done something to advance anything is ludicrous. The questions are not apt.
Yeah..right! That's disingenuous. ISIS & Al Qaeda muslims certainly think they are in a war with the non-believers. Their writings and propaganda is every bit as evil and violent against others as Nazi literature ever was. Your choice to refer to christians instead of muslims is telling. We're not at war with Buddhists either, duh, but it is not so clear that we are not at war with muslims as we just signed war powers acts to fight them in the form of ISIS and Al Qaeda. They are spilling our blood and making non-muslims convert or die.. That's pretty war like even if you don't want to admit it.
At least the Nazis gassed their enemies before burning them..
Since when is "we" America? "We" as I understood it from the context of the OP is atheists. That's why I chose Christians (you'll also notice the mention of "anyone else") as the main talking point.
What's disingenuous is to say that this outraged asshole who happens to be an atheist murders in cold blood three young peaceful Muslims and extrapolate (and conflate) that with the macrocosm of a war against ISIS. How are these two concepts related? And how is this murderer doing anything like killing Nazis? Dude killed three college students with no connection to radical Islam over a fucking parking spot and somehow you try to compare that with some sort of averted disaster. Based on what?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
