Well remember I mentioned atheists? I love how atheists love to claim atheism for their own fucking bullshit...it'd be like Christians blaming Hitler's Holocaust specifically on Christianity.

Still waiting for some evidence to back up your spurious claims.

Oh. I thought you were referring to aborted fetuses. I guess you weren't.

These were actual deaths. The 20th century was a rather horrible and barbaric time.....actually we still have ongoing wars from that time.

Zen....I gave you a book....stop being lazy like the Christians and actually read it. Aral....ironic that the Christian is actually not the one being a complete prude.

The 20th century was barbaric? Sure why not, the Inquisition happened in the late 19th, early 20th century.

Try the 15th (Crusades) century, the 16th (French wars of Religion) century as well while you're at it.

Also, try and take posts in the context they were meant in. I mean sure, you could keep being a brainless oaf and labeling me as prudish but hey I'll give you a pass since you seem to be incapable of rational thought.

You're from the American South, aren't you?

So, you bring to the table a book criticized for historical inaccuracy, borked casualty figures, and one sided argumentation, whose editor specifically lays the blame at the feet of communist regimes and not atheism?

I think it's pretty obvious the only fools who mentioned atheism as a cause were those who like to claim they are atheists. I can see why Christians like to claim the No True Scotsman fallacy. If this is the best of of what atheists can offer, religion will be strong by 2050.

You were the only fool that mentioned atheism as a cause.

Not us.

Worse Than War: Genocide, Eliminationism, and the Ongoing Assault on Humanity...Daniel Jonah Goldhagen.

Oh maybe this book you'll actually having a fucking clue about...

I wonder if I make an alt also trashing that book as well, you'll believe the BS just the same.

Yeah continue lying like your former President Bush, you dishonest shithead. You're a lying sack of shit, goober. Or maybe you're a fucking retard who mistakes state-sponsored atheism (which ends up being a religion for all intensive purposes) for being atheism.

Oh, I see. So when you wrote this:

Quote:Well atheists, or at least state-sponsored atheism (which is why I labeled it as somewhat of state-sponsored religion), prematurely killed 110 million people in the 20th century.

You didn't actually have a point at all? Weren't trying to tie those deaths to atheism? You just said that for no reason, really?

Quote:Worse Than War: Genocide, Eliminationism, and the Ongoing Assault on Humanity...Daniel Jonah Goldhagen.

A book criticized for having, and I quote, "a casual approach to basic research," and has been accused of manipulating sources to reach false conclusions. Wow. Rolleyes

Incidentally, would you be kind enough to point out the parts of this book that cite atheism as a cause for genocide? Some quotes, maybe?
