Let's say atheists killed 1B people

Theists killed 10M people (just examples pls)

He's now saying we should go for the one that killed 10M because it killed less people; and he still doesn't see a problem in that logic

Bros, now your dishonesty is laid bare

Deviates from believing in GOD (by God, you mean Yahweh) the same dishonesty I've always referred to

I've been straightforward in my posts here by making it clear that this is a "theism vs atheism" debate

[size=15pt]ALMOST ALL THE KILLINGS IN YOUR HOLY BOOK WERE CARRIED OUT BY THEISTS; ALMOST EVERY SINGLE ONE[/size]

now, back to the beginning of this argument; my post you're trying to counter is simply this



Bros, even neutrals can see that you've not countered that, you've only shown that both atheists and theists both have evil mentalities of their predecessors

[size=17pt]ALL YOU (WINNER01) HAS DONE SO FAR IS PROVE ME RIGHT; IF ATHEISM HAS EVIL MENTALITIES; THEISM IS NOT THE SOLUTION EITHER[/size]
[size=17pt]The only solution ive not proferred here is that A Relationship with God is the answer. And that is the solution. Ordinary theism will lead nowhere.[/size]

"Thus, according to Ward Churchill, a professor of ethnic studies at the University of Colorado, the reduction of the North American Indian population from an estimated 12 million in 1500 to barely 237,000 in 1900 represents a"vast genocide . . . , the most sustained on record." By the end of the 19th century, writes David E. Stannard, a historian at the University of Hawaii, native Americans had undergone the"worst human holocaust the world had ever witnessed, roaring across two continents non-stop for four centuries and consuming the lives of countless tens of millions of people." In the judgment of Lenore A. Stiffarm and Phil Lane, Jr.,"there can be no more monumental example of sustained genocide—certainly none involving a 'race' of people as broad and complex as this—anywhere in the annals of human history."

Genocide and Denying It: Why We Are Not Taught that the Natives of the United States and Canada were Exterminated

Death Toll: 95,000,000 to 114,000,000

By mass-execution prior to the arrival of Columbus the land defined as the 48 contiguous states of America numbered in excess of 12 million. Four centuries later, it had been reduced by 95% (237 thousand). How? When Columbus returned in 1493 he brought a force of 17 ships. He began to implement slavery and mass-extermination of the Taino population of the Caribbean. Within three years five million were dead

I want to know where the indians were killed because of their disbelief in God or because americans wanted their lands.

You dont always have to bring up anything just to meet up with the madness of atheism.

I always included non religious, non atheistic deaths in my proof. Im not a bias person.

Considering atheism is a mental yoke if we should scrutinize its principles I think y'all should become Christians and them help us extricate other religious people from their parochial beliefs so they can leverage their minds which have been decrepit . What do you think ?

I agree with you to a great extent though we are yet to establish what makes Christianity special from other ruinous religions..

I think what should make Christianity better is because it tells the truth. Right?

Its funny how religious nuts like him are quick to scream that atheists take things like bible verses out of context, but then quote statements without understanding the context behind them. I provided that for him and he says I'm 'changing history'. Smh
My mind is open to evidences that can disprove my claims, not emotional statements that seeks to dilute the truth.

You want to explain the contextual meaning of when one says: Religion is a disease and should be eradicated.
ok!

There's more, and I thought you'd draw the conclusion yourself. My elaboration on those points you raised are to show you that they don't support your claim that atheism is responsible for the killings.

You keep referring to atheism as a belief system - when you do that you are referring to people who hold hypotheses of some scientists as the ultimate.

Atheism in its real sense is just the rejection of belief in gods. Its not a counter-belief, its unbelief.
Most atheists rely on logic, facts, observed laws of nature.

The killings of religious people by Stalin are products of his delusion that he could force people to stop believing in fairytales. By using violence, you don't make people stop believing, you just induce fear.
KingEbukasBlog

Christianity is also the rejection of all other gods . Due to atheism , the founders of Marxism and Leninism developed several critical beliefs about religion . Communism , Marxism-Leninism , simply means "abolish religion and impose atheism " . It had nothing to do with the personal desires of those atheist potentates . They killed because their political ideologies were caused by atheism - the rejection of gods and religion

Atheists rely on different ideologies INDUCED by their disbelief in God and religion - atheism . Now look at this , the bellicose rabid theists kill because of the ideologies induced by their belief and religion , and bellicose rabid atheists kill or are malevolent because of the ideologies induced by the disbelief and rejection of religion Eg communism .

For the rabid theists they want to impose their religion because of their religious ideologies and for the rabid atheists they want to impose atheism and abolish religion because of the atheistic ideologies e.g communism .

Plus you have to impugn their morality - subjective morality , whereby what is morally wrong or right is due to a person's personal perceptive. What was their perspective on how to annihilate religion ? Kill the contumacious religious people . Why is it the right thing to do ? Because they are perceived as encumbrances to development due to their beliefs . See ? The killings were justified from their personal perspective . Of course we know that the religious agrees to objective morality .

Christians exterminated them in order to occupy their lands. The fact that they were indigenous heathens had everything to do with it. Can we divorce purpose from identity?

Stalin killed those opposed to his ideas, did he kill because people believed in god? That's a real narrow way of presenting an argument.

Read my post above and refute if you can . Atheists killed because they rejected gods and religion and wanted to impose atheism . It had nothing to do with personal beliefs . For Christ's sake , we have posted their atheistic views about religion and quotes about life and did not surmise but indeed proved with evidence that atheism is culpable for those deaths .

You've presented a really good case here. Tell your friend winner how to debate. Its not about saying derogatory words to your opponent in order to attempt to intimidate them.
However, I would like to point out one thing. Atheism and Anti-theism are two distinct philosophies. . . the former is unbelief, and the second is a counter belief. There are many overlapping principles, common to both, but there are differences. The quote 'abolish religion and impose atheism' - it crosses the thin line from atheism to anti-theism. Communism as an ideology is can only be successful in an atheistic community. However, forcefully imposing communism will lead to anti-theistic actions. If you recall, in my first reply, I said this Marxist idea was ideal, but not practically applicable.
******
Imagine theism as a person saying 'Blue is the best color! Everything should be painted blue!' An atheist would say 'Blue is not the best color. . . there's no best color lol' . . . an anti-theist would say 'Nobody should have a best color because there's no such thing! So if you have a best color I'll kill you!' You can see the overlap and the difference. Slight, but it's there.
*******
As for their morality, I could say that most atheists depend on secular rules, devoid of any religious influence. Such as the human rights by the United Nations. Morality being subjective doesn't mean that you can do whatever you like. Morality in our case is determined by what is best for all of humanity. I think I've made a post about this before. When crabs are climbing out of a bucket, each one drags the other back down and none of them escape. Our intelligence has made us understand that working together will help all of us escape from the bucket. Therefore our morality is based on whatever is best for mankind. Giving everyone an equal chance to contribute. That's what we mean by subjective. 'What is best for mankind' can change over time, depending on our understanding of things. Killing of another human being violates that. If your argument is that 'they believe in religion and religion has hindered development' then you also need to remember that religious ideas are intangible. Religious people are not the hindrance, its the ideas which they believe in that make them religious and those ideas can change at any time. If a cup is full of acid, the solution isn't to break the cup, but pour away the acid and replace it with whatever's better.

I don't call for a total ban because that'd be irrational and against freedom of expression. But I think that religion should not be elevated to the level that it is today and should be more personal, to the point that no one cares but you yourself, just as nobody comes asking you on the street if your bellybutton is in or out.
