  • Myth or Fact: More People are Killed in the Name of (Christian) Religion?

    My rules for answering are simple. Do NOT lump Jihadists and other Muslim radicals in with Christianity. They have vowed to kill Christians! Christians have made no such vow on them. Muslims are war-mongers. Christians are not.

    Yes, Christians are saddled with the legacy of the Crusades, some witch hunts, etc. But where is the evidence that the Christian religion is the problem instead of the cure? Aren’t the communist bloc countries committed to atheistic practices? Are they often times the problem; e.g., Communist China and North Korea? Wasn’t Nazism, which slaughtered 6 million innocent Jews, not counting the loss of life as they battled their way to attempted world dominance, also an atheistic regime? (By the way, need I remind you that it was a Christian nation, the United States, that ultimately beat back that atheistic, evil empire and stopped the slaughter.)

    I’m asking you to think about it. As you do so, consider some of these modern-day attempts at genocide:

    • Bosnia-Herzegovina: 1992-1995 - 200,000 Deaths

    • Rwanda: 1994 - 800,000 Deaths

    • Pol Pot in Cambodia: 1975-1979 - 2,000,000 Deaths

    • Nazi Holocaust: 1938-1945 - 6,000,000 Deaths

    • Rape of Nanking: 1937-1938 - 300,000 Deaths

    • Stalin's Forced Famine: 1932-1933 - 7,000,000 Deaths

    • Armenians in Turkey: 1915-1918 - 1,500,000 Deaths

  • Atheists Answer Please?

    There are many things that I don't believe in; e.g., biorythms, astrology, numerology, and witchcraft. SINCE I don't believe in these things, they are completely irrelevant to me. In other words, I don't track down people who believe in these things and mock them and their beliefs. I am constantly amused by the fact that you SAY that you don't believe in God, that He is irrelevant to your lives; yet, you spend great deals of time doing just what I would never do.

    How is it that you hate the God that you SAY you don't believe in? How is it that you are so bothered by others believing in this being that you deem fictional? My kid still believes in Santa Clause. Does that threaten you too?
