I just want to make sure your both claiming that christianity isn't to blame for anything..... any violence or injustice committed in their names.....witch burnings, native americans, crusades, just nothing?.... that isn't what I'm arguing against am I?

I think the whole point here wasn't to argue what christianity was responsible for. I think it was just to point out that the actions of dictators can't be blamed on atheism.

The guy missed the entire point of the thread. He isn't even informed on communism at all, and seems to be just a mindless communism supporter. His claims that there were only "two gulags" matching the conditions when we have testimony from Andrei Vyshinsky and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn among many others that said that the entire system was like that pretty much betrays him as a Stalin apologist.

There you have it Ladies and Gentlemen! Since I don't blindly say communism is automatically evil, I must be a dirty commy myself. This thread is proof of Neo-Mccarthyism in action (from an atheist no less.. yeeesh)

Neo-McCarthyism is a bit of an extreme accusation itself...
You really believe in a man who has helped to save the world twice, with the power to change his physical appearance? An alien who travels though time and space--in a police box?!? [Image: TARDIS.gif]

I think he's just looking to argue really. There's no attempt at discussion here, just the shooting down of people's points.

Doesn't matter if it's atheism or not atheism fault.
Even if atheists would fuck the whole planet up religion would still be stupid bullshit.
Morals have nothing to do with the truth and lies.
