This always makes me roar with laughter - religious people will tell you they don't judge, they mustn't wish someone ill yet they send hate-mail - beggaqrs belief in their hypocrisy. You don't agree with someone you don't send them hate-mail they havve a right to their opinion just as you do but that's where it ends unless some dink thinks he can do the pious popsie to your face.

This is why ATS has terms and conditions and fine moderators, without which, it'd be pretty much the same insults directed at the atheists here.
Seriously. That is why there is a revolving door of Creationists who come through this website. They come in, post the same lies and information as the previous crop of Creationists, get upset when called out on their bs, then start hurling insults and end up banned. A few months later, enter the new crop.

Let me disagree with a few points here...
I do not agree with sending death threats, but atheists do that also. Let's call that a human problem.
Well, let me disagree with the last part...it is not Christianity or religion that brought about those problems, but the lack of religious faith.
You cannot lay the fault of prostitution onto the Christians as right now there are a lot of atheists who are buying prostitutes as we speak. Prostitution is the world's oldest profession, but prostitution sure ain't the cause of Christianity, but if you don't believe me, let's go down to the streets and ask the ladies if their pimps are Christians. Prostitution is oftentimes a very violent crime.
Temperance Movement didn't work and after they ended, alcoholism and gambling became very mainstream again. Remind me again what a Flapper was. And a Speakeasy, certainly wasn't a church.
Those things, please do not lay at the Christians' door, because it wasn't Christians promoting those things throughout history.
But let me ask this, that atheist who is right now paying that prostitute, they are getting high and drunk...are either one of them talking about God at this moment? I think not.
All these things you mentioned, ancient problems. Even the Greeks and Romans partook of that. And like I said in another thread, the Kama Sutra itself is descriptive of sex, prostitution, homosexuality, drinking, gambling, rape and adultery. It's not a Christian responsibility.
But these things certainly should be reviewed historically, because it wasn't Christians who caused those problems, rather, it is people who love those things who keep it alive. Those things are the result of no religious faith.
Right now, you, as an atheist, certainly aren't going to talk about God with your friends when they do porn searches. I am not saying you do it, but how many atheists have you seen talk about God when they are out drinking? Do they blame it on Christianity when they are slamming back those double fisted fruit cocktails?

Not really. When you guys always come in with the same points, the poster is irrelevant. The entire evolution/science denialism thing is a strawman, so I don't care if I've argued with you before. You are still wrong and presenting a logical fallacy as a rebuttal to science.
