I never said that I "hate" the Bible. What I hate is how people have used the Bible throughout history to justify heinous acts.
And please show me where people have gone to war or killed others because of Mother Goose or Grimm's Fairy Tales.
Quote:Wasn't atheism one of the tenets of Communism? Google Richard Wurmbrand and you will see he was imprisoned and tortured for fourteen years FOR refusing to recant Christianity. He is also on YouTube.
You bring up Stalin as an example of how atheism kills people. You are rebuked because Stalin killed people in his own self interest, NOT because of atheism. You respond by citing an example of a guy who was IMPRISONED (NOT killed) in ROMANIA (NOT by Stalin)!
And so what? I can give you a much longer list of people who were killed by believers for NOT BELIEVING than you could ever muster up for believers who were killed for their beliefs by atheists.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
