What does that have to do with anything? Oh, I get it now. The Christians in America can't wait to set up a theocracy and kill everyone who don't agree with them, right? What evidence do you have for such an assinine notion? Yet, I can show you plenty of evidence of how Darwinist eugenics medicoes sterilized tens of thousands of the "feeble minded" in their quest to "weed out" inferior genes.

What you are doing is engaging in any number of logical fallacies, foremost is the argumentum ad hominem, i.e., "I consider theocrats to be traitors." Also, you use the fallacy of hasty generalization: "Every theocratic government in history has killed, tortured or imprisoned people who did not conform to official beliefs." We could probably say that your statements may also reflect the fallacy of ignoratio elenchi and the fallacy of misleading contextas well.

But. alas, I have come to expect tortured logic from people who nurture irrational hatreds.

I notice you didn't name any exceptions.
