No doubt you have a reliable contextualized source for this.

Maybe it is somewhere on this blog:

I am sure you would not say something dumb to prove yourself smart.

This is a worthwhile reference on Mother Theresa.

Atheism is a positive belief,
a religion with ideology,
requiring faith,
and causing several genocides.






































At least, in the cesspit of ignorance that is this thread.

If you ever tried to organize a group of atheists or get them to agree on something other than their lack of belief in gods, you would find otherwise.

And beyond that the total confusion of the proponents of atheist brutality in that totalitarians who massacred people for their non-compliance with the government on the basis of their religion did it for atheist motives is idiotic. The struggle was about power, not faith.

That is the defining characteristic for the set of atheists. People who do not believe in the gods.

Now I'm all curious. I didn't see a post from you in the "what religion are you?" thread. If you do not mind sharing, what religion are you? (Since you mentioned being a theist but not any particular religion, my first guess would be deist, but I don't want to make any big assumptions)


Nothing in particular Tensu. But I Googled deism and I suppose it comes pretty close. I make no serious claims on the exact nature of creation though not for anything except for entertainment purposes.

Sorry for the late reply, I was off doing things.

This is one of the things I find repugnant about the religions that promise some sort of holy-land-in-the-sky after death: they don't value life. Death is just fine - to be welcomed, even, especially for innocents! - because the dead people are "with God."

Reminds me of the conquistadors who baptised native children and then slaughered them so that they could not grow up to be 'led astray' by their heathen parents.


And those conquistadors are probably either in purgatory or in hell for murdering children. The Bible does not condone murdering Children, especially after they were just baptized.
