On the contrary to this statement, for the past 6,000 years, the argument over which God is the one true God has usually ended civility and been the cause of much inhumanity where any horror has been permitted and encouraged.

In the 20th Century, atheism and neo-paganism killed around 180 million persons, excluding abortions, which would easily double that number.

Atheism kills like no other.

Re your # 117.... Atheism kills like no other.

Pure sophistry.

The Incas, for example made murder an integral part of their religion... and their daily lives....The old testemant is rampant with examples of murder, human sacrifice (to appease God), incest..etc....Atheism does not have a monopoly on inhuman activity.

As to the argumant against abortion indictaing one must believe in God to be pro life... A fairy tale I am with the pro-life group lock stock and barrel on this......God does not enter into this equation at all for many, many people. Abortion is simply a dehumanizing act.....an act which has absolutely nothing to do with the existence or non-existence of God for many good folks....a large number of whom have taken action against the abortion industry in court, writings, and demonstrations.
