Yeah you might have me there, a fly turned in to a fly.
I am staggered, what was once a fly is now a fly. I cant comprehend with my ignorant Christian brain a fly morphing/evolving in to a fly. Thats just so amazing. Can you show me the evidence, hang on, I will take your word that a fly can turn in to a fly, I am a trusting guy
Eh, a fly producing flys, come on thats pathetic utterly pathetic.
there are many species of fly. I know it's difficult to understand when you haven't done a single ounce of research about evolution.
We need species changing in to new species not differentiations within species
Your exact quote. When one species of fly turns into another species of fly, that is changing into a new species, whether you like it or not. What, are you expecting the fly to turn into a frog or a cat?
A terrorist is bad, no matter what their beliefs or non beliefs are. Extremists and fundamentalists have been a problem for a long time.edit on 27-7-2012 by Barcs because: (no reason given)
You referenced mao and it was irrelevant in context, pointless.
Stalin was an atheist darwinianist Dawkins states in The God Delusion that "What matters is not whether Hitler and Stalin were atheists... (p. 309). So evidently even Dawkins admits Stalin was an atheist, you on the other hand dont? Chortle chortle
Pol Pot www.youtube.com...
The video has references and statements that describe PP as a atheist, cant be denied.

Extremists atheists have a far larger death toll on their hands, the point of the thread.

Clearly, you must be a victim of some underfunded school district in the crap public school system or something. Can schools really have gone that far downhill?

Really? Because I counted three mentions of the word "God" along with a passioned plea for Chinese people to re-focus their religious fervor towards the good of the State. That's pretty much the very definition of a theocratically inspired despot.

So what? Pretty much everybody who could read and write was a "darwinist". It's only been since The Great Derangement began in the US in mid '90's that otherwise educated and seemingly intelligent people began to deny scientific fact en masse.
Similarly, like most despots and dictators of the day, Stalin was much more of a social Darwinist than he was an evolutionary one. LOL. If you're looking for someone to blame for that trend, blame the persistent misunderstandings of Machiavelli's "The Prince" (which was written as a satire...Machiavelli was a COMEDIAN...not a policy-maker) and Frederich Nietzsche's "Will to Power" and "Thus Spake Zarathustra". Those two texts in particular seem to have had quite the effect on European politics. LOL.
Lastly...who the hell cares what Dawkins has to say about it? Why would we assume that a Doctorate of Science is also a trained historian? If you want to evaluate the historical accuracy of my statements...go check them out with one of my peers who also has a Master's degree (or higher) in history.
Pol Pot www.youtube.com...
The video has references and statements that describe PP as a atheist, cant be denied.
Actually...anybody who has even a child's understanding of the history of Southeast Asia can easily not only "deny" the accuracy of the silly YouTube video produced by whoever the hell "nobleeagle100" is supposed to be...but they can also demonstrably prove that the conclusion being derived is utterly false.
The sole shred of evidence in your cited video for Pol Pot not being a Buddhist is the idea that he also killed Buddhists...therefore he must have been an Atheist. This is BEYOND idiotic. I can't help but notice that Christians have killed a few of their fellow Christians over the years...right? Ditto for the Muslims and Hindu's and even the Jews.
In fact...the frequency and tendency for religious nutters to wage wars and genocide against not only other religions but also competing religious SECTS is actually one of the best and strongest arguments for why humanity would do well eradicate these ancient superstitutions for once and all.

No that's not what it teaches. It teaches slow gradual change, not a creature spontaneously morphing into a new one. You just proved you know nothing about evolution or classification of organisms. "Fly" isn't a species.
Extremists atheists have a far larger death toll on their hands, the point of the thread.
Your getting there slowly, thats a good sign you are gaining some knowledge
You still have yet to post the atheist extremist numbers. For someone to be an atheist extremist, they would be required to kill in the name of atheism or non belief in god. The burden of proof is on you to demonstrate this.
Extremists who happen to be atheists VS Extremists who happen to be theists.
Is that seriously the road you plan to travel down and provide numbers for? It would not even be remotely close! Theists have done far more killing and damage than atheists have all in all. There is no question or debate about that fact of reality.

Yet here you are...victim...
So you are denying Pol Pot was an atheist
and your final comment justifies my statement
Atheist terrorists are as bad as any other religious extremist
Thanks

Atheism is responsible for more deaths than Monotheism?? Are you insane??? Ever heard of the Inquisition, the Salem Witch Trials??? Christianity's blatant disregard for Pagan peoples practices or beliefs in Norway during the Pagan Viking purge??? They destroyed pagan temples and built f####ng churches on the ruins!!!! They've murdered countless innocents in the name of Monotheism!!!!! Listen, Communists happen to be Atheists but have never killed in the name of 'no god' only in the name of Communism to push the package of dictatorship. Their lack of faith has nothing to do with their crimes. What about the 'Jihad' or honor killings??? Have you ever read the Quran?? Some pretty sick beliefs in that trash heap.
I can't even believe you think the way that you do on this matter.

So your saying that flys dont turn in to lizards, well duh, they turn in to flys.
Flys turning in to flys is not evidence of flys turning in to anything other than flys. What a religious like assumption based on faith
You just proved you know nothing about evolution or species.
A fly evolves in to a fly, duh! Presto evolution.
What next a dog evolves in to a dog, a cat in to a cat.
You do know all dogs come from one common ancestor? Serious question.
The numbers have been posted I wont waste my time again.
Have some fun
