everyone (else) seems to be hating on atheists
RE: everyone (else) seems to be hating on atheists
Yes, yes I think you may have...

You know you've got psychological problems if you'd bone a cartoon character.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

What can I say? Love red heads.
Give me five minutes with a cam and a cardboard cutout and I'll give you a youtube sensation that will shatter the fond childhood memories of countless innocents for years to come.

What?

Again, what am I dodging? The only thing I pointed out was that the earlier Polish guy said he wasn't an atheist so its hard to say if he fits in the sentence of "atheist who was killed for being atheist". He's probably the closest thing we have though, which is why I freely admitted that we have "maybe one".

I'm not avoiding "looking at the bad". Catholics persecuted Protestants in some places and some times, and Pagans, and Jewish folk, all of which were very terrible things. When I say there have been no real mass persecutions of atheists it isn't about not wanting to see the bad: its just that within the bad there are no mass persecutions of atheists. At most you have 1 known person in the whole 2000 year history of the Church, some 300+ years ago. Calling that evidence of some mass persecution seems a bit offensive to those groups who really have gone through mass persecution, both at the hands of atheists as well as theists (in living memory even! Wink).
Mary Immaculate, star of the morning
Chosen before the creation began
Chosen to bring for your bridal adorning
Woe to the serpent and rescue to man.

Sinners, we honor your sinless perfection;
Fallen and weak, for your pity we plead;
Grand us the shield of your sovereign protection,
Measure your aid by the depth of our need.

Bend from your throne at the voice of our crying,
Bend to this earth which your footsteps have trod;
Stretch out your arms to us, living and dying,
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God.

LOL. So, the fact that your cult has persecuted nearly every other religious cult and just about all forms of pagan worship can be swept aside because it hasn't specifically targeted atheists? You sip some strong tea, sister.

The most recent asshole of a pope has definitely not preached tolerance when it comes to atheists.

Who said anything about "swept aside", Epimethean? The thread is about anti-atheism. If this was about hate of Protestants, then perhaps it would be relevant.

So the Pope....thinks that believing in God....is important? Thinking

If an atheist said something about "religion deprives people of their humanity", would you say that's "intolerant"? Even that counts as a more direct reference than your own quote. Within the context of Christianity, "God's absence" is hatred and sin, not atheism.

Your rhetoric is getting stained, dear. Your pope does not agree with you.

"Within the context of Christianity, "God's absence" is hatred and sin, not atheism."

Standing next to the Queen, the Pope delivered a highly-politicized speech that was long on intolerance and hatred and short on accuracy. The Pope used this speech to warn Britain about "aggressive forms of secularism" and "atheist extremism" in society. He recounted Britain's stand against the Nazis, then stated "As we reflect on the sobering lessons of the atheist extremism of the Twentieth Century."

Thinking that is fine,what is not fine is asserting that belief as fact and judging those who do not share that belief. This may come as a shock,but the rest Christendom rejects the infallibility of the Pope,even when he is speaking ex cathedra,which he is not in this case.

Yes.;it's an ignorant and bigoted thing to say as a general principle. However, I think demonstrably true in many weak and credulous people,who replace rational thought with a dogma lacking compassion. I do not include you in that group.
