All types of people have killed people. Every time you bring up that atheists have killed people, you seem to forget that all kinds of people have killed people. Perhaps it's time to stop using that to demonize only atheists.

What and atheists don't kill anyone
That's an absurd suggestion, atheist based regimes have killed hundreds of millions
Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao
Your argument is ludicrous

The problem isn't that atheists have no answers, it's simply that Randy won't read your links. Randy doesn't come here to learn things he comes here to argue, and to taunt people.
It is not like he hides the fact. Go back and just read his replies. There is no back and forth, there are no explanations, there are no answers. He has been at this for a long time. I used to go round and round with him but he told me too many times that he does this for the lolz and to waste people's time who he considers a threat to his ideas.

So you ARE trolling. I should have known.
I won't bother wasting my time with you.
I don't know by which metric you are using to measure how many deaths have occurred at the hands of religious people versus the hands of atheists, but I do know that you have no idea what the term atheist implies and you often conflate communists and other groups with atheists. Then you point out pol pot, stalin, and other communists as though it was their atheism and not their political biases that lead them to commit those murders. This only shows that you have no understanding of the terms that you use. But the major point is that you ignore all of the people that were killed by a religious zealots. As if all atheists agree with #ing Joseph Stalin, and pol pot.

I think you are partly right there Woody
Partly because I only ever use that comment in reply to a statement made by an atheist who like Rome byFire, states religion is the cause for mass deaths.
When in fact good old atheism has a much higher body count than religion
Yes, please search that...
I think we have all been lied to for so long about how bad religion is we have never investigated the real facts as to how bad atheists have been in the past
So I will gladly stop telling the truth when those atheists like rimebyfire stop telling lies
I really don't want this pissing contest, I also don't like lies, let's just say I am denying ignorance
He is happy to admit that he is here to waste peoples time. just ask him.

Thanks for the heads up
I don't understand why people make threads on a discussion board if they're not open to discussion. I guess it's a lack of faith in their flavour of religion/god if they're not willing or too scared to actually discuss their religion/god.

As if all atheists agree with #ing Joseph Stalin, and pol pot. atheism has no tenets that would teach someone to kill, but marxism and nationalism do. If this is too difficult for you to distinguish from one another perhaps you should do some more research.

You all realize that he was a Founding Father of the United States, and was involved in the French "Enlightenment" Revolution....right?
You know who he is?
He's all about separation of church and state.
