For one thing...thank you for admitting people do not kill in the name of Atheism. Now you know why you can retract cheering someone on for listing people who were Atheists and killed people. Do you not see how you contradict yourself over and over again?
I have become convinced that the only way to believe in any organised religion is to be the type of person that can contradict their own arguments over and over without ever seeing the problem.
I believe I was asking for proof that the bible was historically accurate but you wanted to play games for 6 pages instead so I am not sure.

What about King Hezekiah? Look it up. It's the latest confirmed find that proves the historic truth of the Bible. There are many more of course
en.wikipedia.org...
An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin: "argument to the man", "argument against the man") consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to a characteristic or belief of the source making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim.
The process of proving or disproving the claim is thereby subverted, and the argumentum ad hominem works to change the subject.

Pol Pot was an atheist.
Stalin was an atheist.
That's probably around 50 millions deaths right there...
Yup, and that number alone exceeds the deaths of the Crusades and Inquisition put together.
There has been much murder in the name of religion, but it's not a good debate because both sides are just as guilty of twisting dogma for their own means.

I NEVER said they did. They kill because of twisted beliefs. No contradiction because I never stated what you say I did.
Here's a challenge, show me where I contradicted myself, give me some quotes. You can't because I haven't.
I gave you proof right off the bat with the latest historical proof of the Bible found. Information pertaining to King Hezekiah. Or did you even read it?
Now who's contradicting themselves? You're arguing for the sake of arguing. Now quit with the Ad Hominem crap.

There ya go, sweety. See above two posts. You claimed "Yeah thats right, and that number is way bigger than the christian murders during the witch trials. So what? If it was not done in the name of Atheism then it does not prove any point made here does it? The point you are cheering in is that more people died in the name of Atheism than Religion. If that is not what you meant to agree with, then you should read the things you applaud more carefully in the future.

What did I say? Here's what I clarified my point with "both sides are just as guilty of twisting dogma for their own means." Did you miss that? Do you know what that means?
I've NEVER said or AGREED that it was done in the name of atheism. Goathief never said it was done in the name of atheism either. I agreed that they killed people and it wasn't related to any religion. I also stated that it was the result of beliefs and twisted dogma.

I'm done responding to your pathetic attempts to argue. You have no proof of anything, just pathetic illogical arguments.
Your Ad Hominem attacks show your ignorance.
You don't deserve any responses. I've backed up everything I've said. If you don't like it, too bad

Yes that's good, glad your somewhat settled...
You know i started thinking...most if not all OP's and posts are opinions or else they are sourced to another news link, which of course is another's opinion.
Of the, I dunno few thousands, of posts I've made...I don't think i ever told another poster, his/her subject was in the wrong forum...I guess I thought that was a moderators' job
OT
