And yet the maximum murders have been committed by officially atheistic regimes, inspite of the negligible presence of atheists.
What does that tell you?
Sword? Theist
Chemical explosives? Theist
Bow and arrow? Theist
Cross bow? Theist
Guns? Theist
Cannon? Theist
Fire bombs? Theist
Trebuchet? Theist
Catapult? Theist
Assault warefare? Theist
Seige engines? Theist
Poison darts? Theist
Ships of war? Theist
Napalm-type weapons (e.g. Greek Fire)? Theist
etc...
No.. It's politics when politics does it and "belief" when belief does it, (be that the belief of an atheist or religous man). Science makes it, science does not use it.
I am an atheist - I, like everyone else on the planet, was born an atheist. Unlike some I just stayed that way. Now, I believe that religious belief is the most dangerous of worldly cancers. I believe that all religious people should be shot..
(Having read that kindly pay attention to the few uses of "believe" - this is where you are making the mistake. While an atheist might go around annihilating everyone in sight, it is not atheism, it is personal belief).
I'm afraid so. Bear in mind though that it's not being "unethical". A nuclear bomb by design does no harm to anyone. It is neither moral nor immoral, it just sits there looking stupid.
My computer is relatively harmless. By itself it does sweet bugger all. Morals do not come into the equation. If I really wanted to I could hack your computer. I could steal all your personal information, delete all your files etc etc...
The computer is not evil. Bill Gates, (its debateable), is not evil because of his computer programming. The "evil" comes in the form of those that use it.
Absolutely. The door swings both ways and you have to understand that not everything is going to sit well with your own personal morality but that does not hinder science and nor should it. The minute science stops to consider personal ideals everything stops. There would be no viagra, no make-up, (animal testing is bad), no anything...
From our perspective it seems so easy. Yes, I am dreadfully sorry that VX gas exists, I hate to see people succumb to the devastation of a nuclear weapon attack.. but once again that is not science. Science will show what is, nothing more... The usage of those things is left to all those "people of greatness" that James alludes to.
Bet they were all undercover atheists.
Anyway none of these compare with the devastation that could be wrought by the atheists' bombs
Nothing.
I disagree with your statistics. You are stuck in the 20th century. Add up all of the "murders" committed in human history, and you will find, by necessity, that they were committed by theists.
Besides, we conscientious atheists (of which 99.9% of us are) abhor violence. The leaders you are talking about were psychopaths, theistic or not. The violence done by normal theists throughout history, under the guidance of some god, is stunning.
Well you're right, the Bible does say the Earth is about 6,000 years old. However, I was not addressing that, I was addressing the original post which states "Isn't it possible that God created the world (in six days) already in a stage that scientists would define at an "age of Millions of years?", I was simply answering that yes it is possible....
Right, so you seem to be agreeing with me....atheism or theism has little or nothing to do with scientists and their discoveries.....superliminal on the other hand disagrees...he attributes these things to atheism...yet he would quickly say that Stalin killing millions has nothing to do with atheism...SnakeLord said:
All this conveniently forgets that the primary purpose of a weapon is to kill.
Would you be willing to keep a neutron bomb in your house? Seeing as its harmless all by itself?
The "atheists's bombs"!!! That's freaking hilarious sam! You should minor in stand-up comedy.
You really think that atom bombs were developed as atheistic weapons of evil? Atom bombs are just another weapons technology that grew out of the investigations into the nature of matter that the greeks initiated. The vast majority of the people on these projects were theists and "patriots". Unless you think that oppenheimer singlehandedly developed the A-bomb in his basement?
...non-believers, as history proves.
Must have been a lot of nonbelievers in communism then.
That's right. I will say whatever best supports my position. Oops. That's been patented by theists. I'll have to come up with another approach...
Plus, my user name is superlUminal, not superlIminal, dipshit.

I'm sure that was very comforting to the Japanese victims.
Oh, right. All violence began with 20th century atheistic regimes. I forgot. Sorry.
Actually it began with atheist neoliths who first bashed in the heads of their spiritual neighbors. Very violent, some of these atheists.
No, but it was comforting to the potentially millions of japanese and allied victims that didn't die, that the projected invasion of Japan would have involved.
Wake up sam.

Right so you agree too, you just say whatever supports atheism to uphold your atheistic faith......if an atheist kills millions, its not because of atheism....if a scientist who is an atheist discovers something, it must be because atheism...the worse part is you don't even see the logical contradiction...
Orgub the neanderthal atheist beats his theistic neighbor Shmuba on the head? Never...
Do they know how they were saved by the bomb? Have they given their thanks yet, the ungrateful b*stards?
I see all. I am an atheist after all...
I'm just trying to keep pace with the latest developments in theistic apologetics and argumentation.
