By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed. - Mein Kamph by Adolf Hitler

The second most deadly despot in modern history, who atheists lovingly quote as being a Catholic.
He lied when he claimed Catholicism.

This is more like both Hitler and his atheist brownshirts of today:

“The dogma of Christianity gets worn away before the advance of science. Religion will have to make more and more concessions. Gradually the myths crumble.” – Adolf Hitler

Why must life have a purpose?

You are right that it does not need one in your model of the universe. In fact, it can have no purpose, other than what someone reads into it for themselves.

Someone went to a lot of trouble to program that bot.

Practice Pretension & Profanity

And YOU TOO can be an atheist. Simply tell everyone else you are so intellectually superior to them that you HAVE TO BE RIGHT in everything you say! Then curse and revile them. After all, this attracted you to atheism, it's sure to work on those blankety blank idiots, right?

The Fallacy of the Argument From Authority never occurs to atheists who demand that they are right because they are infallibly smart. Their conclusion is as false s their premise, but hey, profanity and bitterness will make it all right, you ##&#$*@!$T#.

His vein, ironically grave, Expos'd the fool, and lash'd the knave.

Thanks for proving my point.

Btw, in a rational world, one has to support their claims with evidence.

You don't have evidence, and all the so called proofs of deity were shot down over a century ago.

Ya got bupkus..

Hypocrisy. It is not atheists going around starting threads on this issue.
That is what happens when people are brainwashed from the time they are toddlers.

Excesses of evil and good result in horrific outcomes. Socialists murdered as many as 200,000 innocent humans and as Vladimir Lenin said, "Atheism is an essential component of socialism." Centuries ago, Christians also killed wantonly, but no more. We just keep hearing about this from atheists.

Given the same information, different individuals arrive at different conclusions, without all being correct. I'll provide an excellent example.

I created a website showing a single page from National Geographic magazine.

Anyone can study it. What do you find?
Let's hear from the "rational" "scientific" "brilliant" atheists and liberals. They have so much to teach the world. Just ask them, and Joe Biden.

How wanton is wanton?

America alone, a Christian nation(?), has wantonly killed some 17 million mostly brown people, but some white, black, and yellow, since 1952.

@MrWonderful Socialism is not anti-religion, nor is it anti-morality. Your argument is nonsensical.

Christian democracy has killed millions, by trying to impose their ideals on others. This was not "atheists" doing this.

"Atheism is a natural and inseparable part of Marxism, of the theory and practice of scientific socialism. Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism." - Vladimir Lenin

You cannot argue with Vladimir Lenin. He is dead.


" - Atheism has killed through its many deputies: progressivism, eugenics, fascism, and communism. Lurie shows that it was the godlessness in each of these ideologies that killed hundreds of millions. But atheism doesn't just kill lives. It kills purpose, free will, beauty, compassion, a sense of the past and future, creativity, and freedom itself." - Atheism Kills - The Dangers of a World Without God

Incidentally, atheists raised in atheist families abandon their religion, atheism, at a higher rate than any other religion. Like all Leftists, atheists hate facts and will do anything to deny and twist facts.

I will allow more time for self-professed "intellectual, scientific" atheists to comment on the Nat Geo page which has so far been completely ignored for the obvious reason that not one of you has a clue what to say about it.
At once amusing and telling.....

[Godstud]

@MrWonderful Communism and Socialism are not one and the same. Come back when you can differentiate between different things.

Why do you ignore the fact that Christian democracies are responsible for more deaths in the last 40 years, than Communism?

Incidentally, atheists raised in atheist families abandon their religion, atheism, at a higher rate than any other religion. Like all Leftists, atheists hate facts and will do anything to deny and twist facts.

Your claims about atheists are idiot rants with no facts to support them. They make no sense and have no basis in reality.

I don't suppose you can provide a scientific source to support your "claims"? Your opinion isn't worth spit.

[MrWonderful]

Atheists religious retention rates are shown here:

The Unabomber is a genius. So much for the faux claim of atheists as always being "intellectual" as it can be used for good or evil. Moreover, there is little evidence of the "intellectualism" atheists universally claim.

Atheism has a suicide problem.

Odd that such self-proclaimed geniuses should kill themselves at such a high rate, after the fashion of Ernest Hemingway: "Every thinking man is an atheist." - KABOOM! Buh bye, Ernie.

[Potemkin]

Good to see that this thread has managed to maintain its high level of intellectual debate.

[Godstud]

People arguing against Atheism don't have an intellectual level.

see this statement:

Incidentally, atheists raised in atheist families abandon their religion, atheism, at a higher rate than any other religion

Atheists don't proclaim themselves to be "geniuses", but I can see why arrogant religious thugs might think so, as they don't like any dissenting opinions. I can see why thinking might be something you don't like.
