Famous Atheists

Hey can we add good ole hitler and stalin to the atheist list?

 

Jackuul u dont need a nuke arsenal to do that blinking into nothing comes after old age lol

 

Oh yea i forgot to add einstein to the list of atheists. Opps scratch that, he believed in god

 

Not in a religious one.

 

Good lord, the triple postedness, it burns, gahhh. Might as well just put "+1 post count" after each one of those.

I never once stated that I thought the human consciousness ceases after death - but a nuke aught to mess everything up to where even consciousness would vaporize.

 

Because we all know Hitler didn't use Christianity to justify the slaughter of the Jews in Mein Kampf

Stalin's atheism is completely irrelevant to his actions, as he did not kill people because he was an atheist, nor does atheism provide justification his actions.

 

Of course you could produce just as huge a list of Christians -

I'll start it off - Sir Isaac Newton

 

You could. So what?

 

I will go second -

David Koresh
Tim McVeigh

 

and if you believe the conspiracy theories there is a hell of a lot more to both those stories!!!!

 

I don't understand how it would make any difference?

Anyways, lyrics from the song - "And no religion too".

Nice post 180, it's a shame some people feel so threatened by it that they have to come in here spouting ridiculous rhetoric.

 

Where exactly do Isaac Newton and Einstein stand as far as their belief in God?

 

Einstein has a quote on the website the OP was writing about. I'm guessing he was agnostic.

 

Yes, judging by that quote and a few others, I also think he might have been that. Its very difficult with him because, with him, I think he was in a situation where he wanted to believe in God but felt compelled not to because of his position, so he basically went withe that particluar crowd.

I just looked up on Newton. It seems he did believe in God because he thought the world was so perfect and everything in it so rational that there had to be a creator behind it.
