What's wrong with religion is that it has always enabled people like...

60. Yes, I'm proud of my "limited grasp" so limited...

Because I have no "other ways of knowing" !!!


To quote your most logical "ways of knowing"

"And what does the time period have to do with anything?"

OH, I don't know, More time, more sampling? More examples, more observations? Kind of "scientific" terms, I know how you like to avoid scientific analysis of events in history, and just go for the agenda you have in mind.. by the way, how's that dub step coming, you like to repeat yourself alot, that's what this new teenage trend in music is all about..you have many sound and text samples to choose from, repeat and repeat and repeat, that's what "dub-step" is all about in creating music we can all dance to.

"Over the past century more people were murdered under atheist dictators, and by atheists than all religious wars, and in the 20th century alone." And, of course, in 1912, there were no machine guns, no bomber aircraft, (""Over the past century more people were murdered", (And what does the time period have to do with anything?) couldn't have had anything to do with modern warfare techniques, could it? ...NO!!! Of COURSE you're going to go for the atheist angle of this... how could I have failed to see it coming???

Your last post, the one I'm quoting here, if I were you, don't enter into your high school debate team.... oh wait... what's that? You're already out of high school? COOL! Don't enter into college debate team... oh wait, you're already a college grad? COOL!! How come you missed logical argument and points of relevancy in the rules of college forensic debate? Did you not compete on a college debate team? Did you go straight to looking for a job pushing your religious agenda when you were a freshman and skip all the chances to learn about logical argument?

I'll give you a pass on this one: you thought that, since the most deadly wars in history were in the 20th century, you thought you could win a debate because a few atheists showed up to fight some battles and got a lot of people dead. Nice theory, but not strictly a scientific prooof that atheism is more deadly than any war, now, is it, given all the other technological variables the 20th century afforded for methods of killing?

I guess you leave out more than half the facts, choose whatever numbers favor your case, in isolation of other numbers, in isolation of technological advances in methods of killing. Yeah, I figured you thought all those dozens of religious wars where only a a few tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands died in the 16th century were not worth mentioning, you're more into the Pol Pot stuff, I bet, where so many died of simple malnutrition when no "Christian" nation on the planet intervened to save a few million poor Asian rice farmers.

Yeah, I get your point, Christianity and religion are more important than any number of godless atrocities ever evidenced in the human history of religious groups fighting amongst each other.

Atheists are the worst enemies, because more millions died under threats from someone who called those other humans "atheists", and because you say so, and you are such a balanced and an unbiased historian, you ONLY want all the facts out there, and you have a completely objective viewpoint from your "other ways of knowing"!!!!

We all know that now.
