Asinine as always. Communist dictators didn't kill in the name of atheism but in the name of their ideology which wasn't atheism but a perverted form of Marxism. You play the communist card and I raise you one Hitler, one Franco, one Mussolini, one Pavellic, one Pinochet and countless other dictators, who were christians and had in their largest parts a very good standing with religious powers and organisations.
Would it be unfair to say, they killed in the name of christianity? Of course, but if you want to play it black and white with your ignorance of history, so be it.
I dream of the day when people like Buggy will stop using this argument. I see it all the time and it makes me mad. It's like the "Why are there still monkeys" argument for creationism... Makes me want to bang my head on the wall
ETA: I meant to say Huggy, but my autocorrect interpreted it as Buggy. Oh well
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
