Atheism Has Killed More People Than Religion Combined? by benzics(m): 1:18pm On Mar 04, 2017
People like felixomor actually make this sort of claims, and am just here to clarify things..

Does two wrongs make a right? Theists actually make these claims in hope that it will absolve religion for it's sins.. but that's bullshit!

Atheism has never and will never be responsible for what people do.

Now these claims actually stem from the misunderstanding of the word "atheism".

Atheism is only but a disbelief in Gods, nothing more, nothing less.

Atheism is not responsible for what Stalin or Mao did, because:

Good people will always do good, and bad people will always do bad, but for a good person to do bad, it takes religion

Religion has actually ordered people to be di-cks, like they should hate(kill) gays, hate(kill) unbelievers. Every religious terrorism always has a known motive,either to convert people or to punish people who don't follow their religion.

The middle ages of Christianity, how they terrorized the world for the sole aim of making them Christians, how they burnt "Witches" and all other nonsense, can all be justified by these Christians if they quote their bible.

What Mao did was never for atheism, as atheism never asked anyone to do anything!

Islamic terrorists can always justify their terrorism if they quote their quran.. Religion can basically justify evil!

Making claims like "atheism has killed more people", I don't understand what you mean by that statement, are you trying to justify the crimes of religion or what?

Atheism is responsible for nothing! Atheism doesn't have rules or commandments, atheism is not a belief or faith, get your facts right!

No I wouldn't, but atheists are people who have heard about God and believe God doesn't exist.

Well when you use the word "belief", you are referring to an organized group with a faith! Atheism isn't organized and has no faith, it's just like you telling me you saw a pink elephant and then I said "I don't believe that" , and then you go about saying I believe that you didn't see a pink elephant.. .

disbelief isn't a belief, just like turning off the TV isn't a TV station!

You only get this sort of desperation from demons on the loose.
The last days is very close!
Atheism is basically I dont believe there is God because I cant reason it out...Ok prove there is no God by reason/logic they cant!
Their founding fathers all lived empty and depressed lives smoking and drinking their way to destruction.
Mark Payne lived on 20 cigars/day, Hitchens lived a drunk and chain smoker.
Mark Payne died financially bankrupt, lost his wife an friends and died a painful death!
Their target is baby xtians who are yet to get a grasp of their Faith not You n I.

Atheism is as old as the first men, your religion is not even upto 4000years, while atheism has been there since time immemorial, unless you are saying "before Christianity, everyone lived painfully" and that makes you sound like an idiot

Lol what? Where u getting this stuff, belief just means u take something to be true. No one defines belief in the way u just did. grin again redefining words.

It means u take what I said to be false, to disbelieve means u take something as false , to believe means u take it to be true.

benzics:
disbelief isn't a belief, just like turning off the TV isn't a TV station!

It's just the way u word it - u believe the negation.

“In summary, there are three attitudes that a consistent believer can have with respect to a sentence p and its negation ~p. 1. Believe that p is true (belief, acceptance). 2. Believe that p is false (disbelief, rejection). 3. Neither believe that p is true nor that it is false (suspension of belief).”

Because we think in fashion likened to scientific model, we respect meaning (definition) that is built on proven assumptions.

* if you "BELIEVE GOD DOESN'T EXIST", you must have proofs to back this up.
And the theists defines atheism this way.
The very reason they debate ignorantly with atheists.

* atheism is "LACK OF BELIEF" or "DISBELIEF" in the existence of god.

Eg if you tell me that you're my dad, knowing fully well that you're just about my age, i will simply disbelieve such claim. Because, based on the fact of age alone, such claim will suffer reflex disbelief.

The premises on which the theists, claims the existence of god, is similar to the above analogy.

The bold is false, atheists and Theists both have defined atheism as the belief that God does not exist, this "lack of belief" is a attempted redefinition that only really come about with Anthony flew with his presupposition of atheism.

Bro, If you examine them closely,
There really is no logic behind their talk.
Their love for their sin and hedonism is why many of them start claiming they are atheists..
They dont want to be held responsible for their actions in their hearts...
