It always seems like atheists have to fight against religion especially christianity.

True christians like me dont fight against atheism, to each his own, ads like these show that these people somehow think about religion and i think deep in their heart they know that there is something after life ends, so they fight against it to forget it.

Btw, the most hounded believer (including non-believer/atheists) on the world are christians, 170 thousands are diying every year because of their faith.

And because of communism (atheism is linked close to communism) 200 million people died, so?

Live and let live, my dear friends.

That's just a tad absurd of a stretch, no?

And I'll echo what several others, including mrstickball and highwaystar, have mentioned already: attributing violent behaviour to any particular worldview can be superimposed to show that it happens with any belief/non-belief. Horrible things are done in the name of just about any ole damn thing.

wow, I can't believe you actually hate atheists so much.

First of all, an atheist can believe in life after death. So I don't know what you were saying about "atheists fight against it to forget it".

Second, Every atheist I've known never showed any glimpse of "trying to forget" life after death, because none of them believe in it, myself included(although I'm agnostic).

Third, being religious doesn't make you a better person. That is a fact. And I cringe whenever I see someone mention god to help justify a war, or people say they believe in god, yet break many rules of their own religion. In fact, the bigest atrocities I've seen in my personal life were done by religious people.

communism linked to atheism?! I never heard about that. If that happens in China, it would be because the government is forcing it. The opposite would have happened if it pushed a religion instead.



I agree 100% with them. Too bad we won't see something like this in mexico ever.

Yeah, but while there have been so called christians who have done terrible things (but none of them is written in the bible) the christian cross is a symbol that is recognized by everyone on the world and most people see it as a sing for help (red cross) for example.

You cant blame the faith, blame the faithful.

Jesus Christ preached love and love for our enemies, its not gods fault that many christians are violent and everyone often forgets that today still even non christians follow jesus indirectly, i mean, a present example is that 90% of the help for pakistan came from western/ (for most part) christian nations, altough pakistan is the place where many terrorists are born and where hate against westeners is preached.

There are no christian nations in the West.

What are talking about? Its a qoute that is non religous. Sure it came from the bible but there is nothing religous about it. Its about people, and it was a fitting qoute. If you are going to condem for that than you are just being blind and not tolerant in any way.

It was from the Bible, so it's connected to the Christian religion, thus making it inappropriate.

It's not, even formally. Techincally China is one of the most 'religious' countries. So I can't grasp the meaning of 'communism linked to atheism', as well as 200 millions of it's victims (number seems to come out of thin air).

Who talks about China?

China isnt a pure communism state anymore and since then, more and more chinese people find truth in various religions. but that wasnt the case in the 60's and even now, China is at number 13 of the countries who oppress christians most, thats incredible if you think about it that there are more christians than members of the govern party (80 million).

The country where christians are hounded the most, isnt an islamic country. (thoug 40 of the top 50 are islamic countries) Its Northkorea.

 

Ive read somewhere that there were more than 200 million victims because of stalin, lenin, the chinese government and so on, i dont have a link on that but i think we both agree, that communism (and thus atheism) caused more victims than every political and religious ideology.

You can, that doesn't change reality however.
