But because I identify as a Christian do you lump me in with that camp? Since you identify as an Atheist should I lump you in with Hitler and Stalin? I think we can both agree that would not be fair. I will join ranks with you to fight those that identify with all you have shown, but for different reasons.
Hitler was almost certainly not an atheist. He was most likely a Christian, in fact.
As for Stalin, I have virtually nothing in common with him. Lump me in with whoever you want, though. I'm a Pink Wizard. I basically don't care what others think.
If you don't do those things and wouldn't defend them under any circumstances, then I wasn't talking about you, was I? I was merely explaining why so many atheists fight religion so viciously. That was your question, yes? It's because religion causes many foul things, and the few good things it claims responsibility for don't even require religion. We, therefore, see it as more efficient to simply do away with religion and treat the texts as literature and fiction (at best).
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
