Yeah, people started killing each other only in recent history, didn't they? Cause if you dig a bit deeper you get a cross on every second murderer, right? Stalin by the way was about to become a Christian priest. Hitler was a Christian and a Catholic. Pagans were persecuted in his time. Just because Hitler was first in the world and history to ban animal tortures and stuff like that does not make him pagan. As for the bigot thing you did not ask me what it is, since I am obviously not your dictionary. You asked for the difference between atheist and a bigot and you got it.
Recently there have been studies out that if you want your child to be more successful you should teach them about God and take them to weekly church services. This was following the discovery that atheist kids tended to do worse in school. This whole thing is really just atheists saying what they have always said "we're smarter than you, only stupid people would believe in God". It's an easy point to counter, simply look at all the brilliant religious people in history. St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Pope Benedict, no matter what you think about them or religious belief it is hard to deny that they are very intelligent men.
. Must have been in the title. Are religious people stupid? - The bigotry for Corwin must be the title did not include - Are both Athiest and Religious People stupid ??????
I agree, I do something stupid everyday. But still intelligent enough to acknowledge that what I did was stupid. But stupid is not what what you don't know but rather your inability to absorb, understand and remember the information you've come into contact with. If you make a mistake and learn, that's intelligent. Stupid is when you do it again.
Really? You want to cite? Lies. "thesickearth", you are telling Big Lies. Stalin and Hitler were atheists - any high school student knows that. And this were already discussed in detail in another thread. Go ahead, look it up yourself. Of course, this would require you to do actual RESEARCH, and we've pretty much established that you can't use a search engine. Again, you seem really be behaving like a bigot. Is bigotry something you learned from your parents? Your arguments are sinking faster than a Russian submarine. It's really quite pathetic.
Hitler was nothing, neither an Atheist nor a Religious person....simply an opportunist. So was the Catholic Church, a nothing for supporting the Gov't run by Hitler and complicit in their Crimes against humanity. And so it is not Religious people nor Atheist who are stupid but those who's beliefs are construed to their own serlf-interest and have lost their Souls.
Cite what? Names of Christian murderers? I don't think I have that many letters available , sorry. But you can look up and Christian czar, king, emperor or prince between 300 and 1900-- chances are good that they were mass-murderers. As I said, Stalin was studying to become a Christian priest , and Hitler was a Christian and a catholic. He did believe in ( at least one) god. His quotes are littered with mentioning of God/devine force, etc. Here is one of them: "" What we must fight for is to safeguard the existence and reproduction of our race and our people, the sustenance of our children and the purity of our blood, the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may mature for the fulfillment of the mission allotted it by the creator of the universe. Every thought and every idea, every doctrine and all knowledge, must serve this purpose. And everything must be examined from this point of view and used or rejected according to its utility."" Adolf Hitler My behaving like a bigot ( in your humble opinion) does not change any facts that we discuss.
By todays standards most Kings that where in power for at least a year or two are mass murderers no matter their religion . Studying for something and being something are two different facts . USSR under Stalin executed what the crusading atheist like you would see as an accomplished wet dream . Here's your masturbation material : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_the_Godless
Strange.. It seems that Corvin thinks there were no Christian mass-murderers.. Are you undermining him? He also has an imaginary friend just like you do. Keep that in mind
A Spaceship is not what will land in the Outerworld of the Everlasting. Energy and the Purity of mind necessary to cross the void and settle the land beyond is the possibility for the Faithful.
Their religion is totally unrelated with their executions . In the case of Stalin & Mao religion plays a critical part in the slaughter . While the medieval Christians lords might have executed 5000 to 10000 people (rough estimates) each the atheist dictators are far more brutal scoring dozens of millions . Another fator is that most of the medieval executions where simply related to the justice system or direct political coups . The idea of massive cleansing is something that atheist dictators take credit for .
What the hell are you going on about? I asked you a yes/no question and you give me some random ramblings...
It is very hard for me to come across some Atheist, i don't know how educated people behave like this? Every thing has its creator and this is the basis of some religion.
Who's kidding who????? The Spanish Inquisition - the Crusaders - The Crucifiers - ETC. ETC. ETC...... All the past history of Misplaced (organized) Religious provocations is based upon the prevention by Death to those seeking the proper path for Remission.
