Atheism, the short lived idea?

[solja247]

Well no, the christian militias in the Balkan conflicts were bloody minded arseholes

Centuries of hatred among two ethnic groups your point being?

( but for god so it was ok).

Can you prove that?

And not forgetting the christians that have blown up abortion clinics

How many abortion clinics have been blown up?

Everything is permissable when you're doing it in the name of god.

You should change that statement:

Everything is permissable when you're a human.
You do realise atheists can be bad people?

You are aware that hong kong is not representative of china right? That it was a british crown colony until 1997, and it inherited British colonial tradition, legislature, judicial and administrative structure? Despite being governed by Beijing now it still has it's own passport, currency, system of international visa arrangements? And why do you think atheism has no hope? Do you think everyone in as ruthlessly competitive a society as chinese society is now would indulge in self infantilization and seek comfort in squishy fairy tales?

Very much so.
It is hard to get an exact number of Christians in China, as many are house churches, but it is considerably growing, some statistics claim there are over 100 million Christians in China, its hard to really say as a lot are underground...
