>>Religion of all stripes are responsible for more death and destruction than any atheist ever conceived of.

Pure bu!!sh!t. THe big lie of the American left that has been repeated so many times by our enemies that even the good guys believe it... Look at any war, and you'll see it has much less to do with religion than people think... It wasn't Luther or the Popes who commanded all the bloodshed in Germany, for instance... It was the god-damned evil princes. And in North Ireland, it's the communist-left (Irish) vs. the Apostate heirarchy (England). Look at the NRA's platform (government-sponsored abortion, homosexual rights, marxist economics) and their methods (terrorism) and you tell me that it's a religious war.

Who are the great war-mongers of all time?
Adolph Hitler
Mao Tse-Tung
Joseph Stalin
Idi Amin (!)
Napoleon
Vladimir Lenin
All atheists, every last one of them.

Now look at the one truly violent religion: Islam. Why so violent? Because it's one "religion" which doesn't care what you believe, so long as you obey. The cognitive dissonance inherent makes it real easy to breed whack jobs.

Most, if they think about it, will realize that it is the extremes that cause the problems.

The world is on a pendulum swinging right and swinging left, religious theocracies, antireligious dictatorships, one extreme to the other, both are just as bad as the other.

A mix, that is the ticket, and that is what we have in this country, right down the middle, sure it goes a little far right and a little far left now and again, but it is self correcting, and it will correct itself, and will continue.

You think that it has gone too far left, and it will come back right, but then it will come too far right, and will have to go left again.

The left has the advantage right now, but the pendulum is swinging.

I suspect you might have meant the IRA ;) Charlton Heston gets some bad press, but I don't think he deserves all -that-...

Qwinn

Adolph Hitler

I'll leave it to someone else to comment on the rest of the list, but I've seen no credible evidence that Hitler was an atheist.

But hey, if you need to use falsehoods to prop up your worldview, go ahead.

Who are the great war-mongers of all time? [...] Idi Amin (!) Napoleon [...] All atheists, every last one of them.

Idi Amin was Islamic.

Napoleon would not admit that there had ever existed a genuine atheist, and:

A Christian and a Catholic, he recognized in religion alone the right to govern human societies. He looked on Christianity as the basis of all real civilization; and considered Catholicism as the form of worship most favorable to the maintenance of order and the true tranquility of the moral world; Protestantism as a source of trouble and disagreements.

All atheists, every last one of them

Then again, maybe not.

Adolph Hitler...All atheists, every last one of them.

Hitler was a Christian. He took the swastika right from his Church.

Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.
