42. Again missing the point
Edited on Sat Feb-26-05 10:44 AM by YankeyMCC
Who is negating what happened to catholics?

Apparently there is only selective reading going on because in the same post I said what was done to them was criminal and horrible.

The point is religion does not equal belief in god. These atrocities are committed for the purpose of gaining or keeping power for themselves and their organizations. Communists have that (an organization for which to gain and use power) Atheistsm does not.

Claiming disbelief in god is a dogma is just plain silly. There is a very thin thread to hand together a group of people. The disbelief in god is not what holds together communism and there is no common set of beliefs built around the lack of a god that holds atheists together.


Atheists share only a lack of belife in a god. Their moral codes and worldviews are as diverse from each other as any other group of human beings.



But one more time to try and make the point religion does NOT equal god.
