Just a thought on your own quote below your messages about watching children and women etc. being beaten to death and what God would think of it... If you read the Bible... he fucking ENDORSES it, man. God according to Christians is basically an omnipotent Hitler.

Abe Lincoln had little good to say about xtianity.

http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/quotes/lincoln.htm

Quote:My earlier views of the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures, have become clearer and stronger with advancing years and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them.
-- Abraham Lincoln,


Quote:Oh, that [his Thanksgiving Message] is some of Seward's nonsense, and it pleases the fools.
-- Abraham Lincoln, to Judge James M Nelson, in response to a question from Nelson: "I once asked him about his fervent Thanksgiving Message and twitted him with being an unbeliever in what was published." Quoted from Franklin Steiner, The Religious Beliefs of Our Presidents, p. 138


Among others.

Well, even Hitler didn't torture people for all eternity, which God apparently does, so it's not that ridiculous a statement.

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.

'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln

Of course, I can see that a few of the figures weren't exactly atheists. Lincoln and Jefferson were Deists, and from what I've heard about Lincoln, he mainly didn't join a church because their creeds were needlessly complicated, and I don't think I can put much of an actual label on Ben Franklin's religious stance. And, for what it's worth, Einstein was a pantheist who saw God in everything.

Ah but Hitler was a smart man.
Not really. Sure, many of the people he surrounded himself with were smart, but not Hitler. Hitler was only smart when it came to presentation. I'm sure you can find a few books that can go into better detail, but for the time being, look no further than TVTropes' "Villain Ball" article. Just click on "Real Life." A Brief summary of his major mistakes in the War takes up the entire section (my personal favorite being Operation Barbarossa... the whole idea of it.)

Richard Dawkins is an atheist.
Therefore, atheists are smart people.

It's not a fallacy when it's been proven true.

Quote:Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the the London School of Economics and Political Science correlated data on these behaviors with IQ from a large national U.S. sample and found that, on average, people who identified as liberal and atheist had higher IQs. This applied also to sexual exclusivity in men, but not in women. The findings will be published in the March 2010 issue of Social Psychology Quarterly.

Quote:This human world of ours would be inconceivable without the practical existence of a religious belief. The great masses of a nation are not composed of philosophers. For the masses of the people, especially faith is absolutely the only basis of a moral outlook on life. The various substitutes that have been offered have not shown any results that might warrant us in thinking that they might usefully replace the existing denominations. ...There may be a few hundreds of thousands of superior men who can live wisely and intelligently without depending on the general standards that prevail in everyday life, but the millions of others cannot do so.

- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Chapter 10

Seems to me that ole Adolf understood xtians pretty well.

Don't be stupid.


So Isaiah 13 13-16 is just an example of 'god' being nice, Frodo?

Quote:Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.
Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined [unto them] shall fall by the sword.
Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.


No wonder Hitler approved of this god!
