Wow. Every. fucking. sentence.

Atheism has brought about many evils such as communism and marxism.

As opposed to 500 years of intellectual death and countless holy wars, genocide for religion?

Has inspired a generation to believe they are worthles, denies a purpose in life,

When Christianity puts everyone on a guilt trip, because they are all born with sin and thus worthless. Bashes and discriminates against numerous people: women, sexually differents, and so on? And the purpose in life is ti shut off your brain and sheeptail the word of the imaginary sky fairy?

And on the contrary. Atheism have more purpose, since it's individual and self-defined.

evolution, which does not exist outside of micro evolution,

Keep telling yourself that, dear. (And it has fucking aplicability in fucking medicine and is fucking used.)

has offered nothing to the scientific community, has told more lies in schools, has brainwashed children,

Dunno. Sounds like Christianity to me.

promotes lawlesness since there is no judge to hold them accountable

Yeah. Wait, wut?

no purpose of which to care about

Something else than "I want to live forever with Jeebus" is NOT "no purpose". How about living in harmony and wealth with the rest of humans, animals and the earth resources?

If you try to bring up the salem witch trials, the inquisition, the crusades, and the mistreatment of natives, I ask you to point those things outi n scripture.

Oh, and marxism is in scripture, yes? Evolution is in scripture, amirite? Fuckoff.

Because if it is not in scripture, then it is not Christian.

You're not in scripture.

And remember, we follow the law of love

And that's when I couldn't stop myself from laughing so hard, my chair flipped over.


which fulfills all the laws of Moses, that and putting God above all else.

Laws of Moses? I thought they were the laws of God? Did you just put Moses above God? XD

From the law of Moses:

Exodus 22:18
Do not allow a sorceress to live

Deuteronomy 20:
16 However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy [a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the LORD your God has commanded you. 18 Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the LORD your God.

Book of Mark:

16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Hand that man a glass of Hemlock.

UNHOLY SHIT! Even with the Irony Meter turned off, and encased in a lead chest, it still crapped all over itself.

Let's fix this.

"Religion has brought about many evils such as catholisism and religious persecution of everyone not of the same religion. Has inspired countless generations to believe they are worthless hellbound scum, denies a purpose in life other than kissing god's ass, ID, wich does not exist outside the minds of the most fundamentalist creationists, has offered nothing to the scientific community, has told more lies in schools, has brainwashed children, promotes stupidity since nothing is critically examined, and ignores any and all evidence and equates science with nazism.

If you try to bring about communism, the second world war and Pol Pot, I ask you to point these things out in The Origin of the Species. Because if it's not in the Origins of the Species, then it's not Atheism. And remember, we follow the law of Whatever country we live in, and that trumps the law of any mystical non-entity."

Allegory for Jesus

Marxism and communism isn't evil...the communist dictatorships that arose in a smattering of underdeveloped nations were, however.

We do not deny a purpose to life, we just don't think that our individual or collective "purpose" extends out to a cosmic scale. Or that life itself was brought about deliberately.

Evolution has offerred much to biology and is the theory that helps us understand how to combat "micro-evolving" pathogens.

Lack of belief in a cosmic judge does not promote lawlessness. Quite the opposite, in fact: it further stresses the significance of justice in the physical world, because there is no reason to believe that it will occur outside of it.

And, apparently, Christianity cannot be held accountable for the actions of Christians. Wonderful.

These events are verified as "history". What happened since the bible was written, is not in the bible, Sphincter. You need to read real history books to learn what happened since the Bronze Age.

What is this "law of love" you mention? Is it even constitutional? If not, it has no place in our national law.

BTW, you might read the US Constitution sometime, we've done pretty well with it for more than 200 years. We never needed your scripture. Jefferson and his people made sure of that.

So those people who wear turbans and bomb belts and yell allah akbar as they blow themselves up are not really muslims because bomb belts are not in the koran.

That would include the law about executing children who curse their parents, and the law about stoning people to death who work on the Sabbath, right?

Of course atheism has offered nothing to the scientific community - It's a belief. Christianity hasn't really done that either, especially not with the Flood bullshit.

If it's not in Scripture, it's not Christian?

Well then, good sir, you have just lost the right to all Christian charities the world round. They are now secular charities.

I ask you to point those things out in scripture.

OK, here:

Crusades:

And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people. And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain: Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took. (Deuteronomy 2:33-35)

And they utterly destroyed all that [was] in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword. (Joshua 6:21)

Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. (Hosea 13:16)

Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that [were] therein, and the coasts thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not [to him], therefore he smote [it; and] all the women therein that were with child he ripped up. (2 Kings 15:16)

Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. (1 Samuel 15:3)

And to the others he [the Lord] said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old [and] young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom [is] the mark; (Ezekiel 9:5-6)

Slavery:

Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, [shall be] of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that [are] with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. (Leviticus 25:45-46)

Inquisition:

He that sacrificeth unto [any] god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed. (Exodus 22:2)

And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, [and] all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name [of the LORD], shall be put to death. (Leviticus 24:16)
