Putin and Hillary are great examples of living by Atheist values.
And then you have the Timothy McVeighs and Terry Nichols of the world.
... and ISIS, Al Qaeda, Jim Jones, Saul Alinsky, Lenin, Marx, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Attila, et al.
What's your point?
You're going to cite The Crusades next I suppose?
Historically speaking, who has been perpetrated more mass genocide on this planet than any others ... I mean if we're talking sheer numbers?
Religious people ... or non religious people?
And what were the first steps to those non-religious people, those non-believers, the atheists ... what were their first steps undertaken before the mass genocides were perpetrated upon the people?
As I mentioned before, Hitler was a Catholic, Stalin was a seminary student and head of the Russian Orthodox Church. Hirohito was worshiped as a god in Japan. The Rwanda Genocide was the work of Catholics. The Kosovo genocide was done by Orthodox Serbs. The 1915-1923 Armenian, massacre, and the Assyrian and Greek massacres were carried out by Muslims, All of your central African genocides were committed by religious people of one flavor or another, either Christian of Muslim. Technically all Marxist are supposed to be atheist, but does not Marxism itself resemble a religion with people still pilgrimaging to worship at the tomb of Lennin?
If you want good people to do bad things, that takes religion.
well yeah. all of that is true enough. but if one isn't willing to die for their particular flavor or brand of god, what is that god good for, afterall? I'm not sayin' there ain't a god, but I am suggesting a lot of humanity has had difficulties in interpreting god. but life goes on, so there's still time to grapple with all of it.
