[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whether it actually happens or not is not the concern. The concern is that people are out there actively wanting it, and these people have influence in many many places, at the state, local and federal levels. From school boards to the supreme court. We’ve seen this at all those levels recently and it is terrifying and religion is the core part of the problem.

And before anybody explodes, I’m not saying all religious people are this way. But religion itself is a problem.  It’s the 21st-century and we hang onto these beliefs at our own peril.[/quote]

Religion is not a problem. [/quote]

+1. Simplistic and ignorant statements like this never win arguments. They just make the speaker look … simple and ignorant. Maybe bigoted too. [/quote]

Oh yes it is a problem. Would you like a list?

As for simple and ignorant, I can present evidence for what I think, can you?   And you always resort to ad hominem.  So ironic.[/quote]

Your list is pointless. Stalin, Lenin, Mai and Pol Pot also killed millions, and with recent memory. Plus they oppressed their citizens for decades. If you want to chest-bump about lists, it’s just going to look silly. [/quote]

I guess you require it being repeated yet again: Those guys did not do those things in the name of atheism, or even because of it.  You are just plain wrong. There is no equivocation, as much as you wish there were.

It appears you do not need a list of terrible things in the name of religion, so thanks for saving me the trouble.  Of course all you need is the original post and link in this very thread.[/quote]

Your little semantics game around “in the name of” atheism/religion doesn’t fool anyone or make a difference to the argument that atheist states have terrible track records. [/quote]
