Atheists are generally Communists, or become so, because they have to believe in 'god' on this earth at least. So, their government becomes God; literally, an antiChrist BEAST government usurping all the functions of the Creator (just about - as many as they can absorb) & demanding servitude from the slaves to their System. Thanks for reminding me of that 'group' of devils.

No, they are not. And no amount of contorted reasoning can make it so. Thanks for trying, though, but it wasn't much of an effort.
Give it a bit more hysteria with a whiff of desperation next time.
"because they have to believe in 'god' on this earth at least."
Umm... no. No-one has to believe in a god, just there are many that choose to, as there are also many of us that don't need the concept of a god to live a long, happy life. Most atheists are such, not out of spite for your deity, but through looking at the world around us, weighing up the evidence and the different opinions and coming to conclusions on our own terms. I know this is a concept that is unthinkable to those like you, so I'm not going to try too hard to help you understand.
"Atheists are generally Communists..."
Two words: Ayn Rand.
"....becaue they have to believe in 'god' on this earth atleast."
If you understood the definition of the term atheism you'd understand atheist don't believe in any god not just yours.
"So, their government becomes God...."
WTF? There is no god but the gov't and the postal service is it's prophet? Dude, seriously, WTF?
"...an antiChrist Beast government...."
And here we go! Amazing he/she/it doesn't go on to blather about the Left Behind books or the illuminati.
"...upsurping all the functions of the Creator...."
Of course the gov't has the Dept of Fire & Brimstone, the Dept of Global Flooding, the Dept of 4 Legged Insects, the Dept of Pearly Gates etc."
Jesus espoused some very communistic beliefs in the bible. You'd know that if you took time to read it more thoroughly. What was that all about selling everything you own and distributing it to those in need, according to their needs?
Jesus didn't have many personal posessions, if at all. He commanded you to sell all you own and follow him. So when do plan to hit the road?
Yeah thanks, sorry I served in the Army and was a closet commie. Yeah, and thanks for basically spitting on the faces of my friends Ian, Coyer, and basically every other atheist soldier who has came back either emotionally scarred , in a wheel chair, or in a body bag from the war you assholes pushed to begin with!
Why is it so MONSTROUSLY difficult, every frackin' time, for fundies to grasp the basic concept of believing in no god at all?
Do they have this same problem in other areas of their lives? When learning math, do they balk at the notion of zero? When studying history, are they stumped by periods when no wars were going on? If they pick out clothing, after going through 50-50 polyester blends and all-polyester suits, do they scratch their heads in bewilderment if a fabric is all cotton with no polyester at all?
Now, to be fair, I'm not sure Objectivists quite count as atheists, given the worship of the Holy Trinity of money, power and egotism.
Everytime I peruse this site, I try to laugh, but then I remember these people think this is true.
Hm, it seems to me that capitalism requires servitude. Considering that it relies on people buying their products, it's not that capitalism is evil, but over capitalism can lead to evil things.
I am a godless atheist. I have realized that there is no god, and to believe in the whole creationism fable is quite absurd. Maybe you should read the Bible, as in the entirety of it. And no, just because you feel the need to worship an invisible-man-in-the-sky doesn't mean everyone else does.
Memo for asshat -- just because you hate Athiests, and Commies, does not mean that they're the same thing.
You know, I hate Fundies and idiots, but - no wait, thats a bad example.
You are not even describing Communism, you are describing Fascism.
Yes, Stalin was actually pretty fascist in many ways, but that does not make Communism and Fascism the same thing. Learn the difference before spewing your dribble.
On the other hand, the way you use 'Communist' is entirely the same thing as the way you use 'Terrorist' or even 'Witch' (and probably 'Immigrant' to boot). In other words, the same thing as the way we use words like 'folk-devil', 'scapegoat' and 'strawman'.
YOU might "have to believe in 'god' on this earth", but I don't.
The basis of Communism is not "Government is God", but "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs". As most people tend to feel they need more than they do, and some tend to feel less able than they are, the system won't work unless you keep a rigid control of everything. That rigid control feeds corruption, where you can sort of buy more need and less ability.
Atheists generally don't believe in gods. That's about the only thing they share.
You may have noticed (if you'd care you actually look into the implimentation of communism and Russian history) that there was no huge rebellion against the new order. Defanging the church merely shifted the power to goverment as it had already done in Europe. The Russian people were already subjecated and surpressed under the church and readily accepted the communist state (meet the new boss, same as the old boss)
There were more uprisings over food and Vodka rationing then the church being put down, the imprisioned church leaders were those who wouldn't accept their power loss and tried to instigate rebellion only for their own gain. Religion was never banned, only marginalized and removed from affairs of state.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
