Don't forget the Atheist-driven crusades of the middle ages where the militant godless slaughtered everybody simply for believing.Jurkhands wrote:^ I suppose you imply that religious people don't? or less often?
I find that hard to, err, believe. Has there been some sort of scientific research backing your claim?
to be fair, this is exactly the cliché atheist behaviour which makes me cringe. "Religion is so stupid", "atheists never went on to kill thousands of people", blah, blah. That condescending attitude is just as annoying as religious diatribes and spawns nothing but anger. The exact opposite of what most self-declared atheists want to achieve. In the end, it's a verbal crusade / jihad._ronzlo_ wrote: Don't forget the Atheist-driven crusades of the middle ages where the militant godless slaughtered everybody simply for believing.

That's a rather poor deduction, Test. For whatever it's worth, I think of myself as a post-theist in that I'm fundamentally disinterested in matters of theology. Don't think God exists, but finding out that he did wouldn't change me at all tbh.test recordings wrote:So what are you then Jesslem? You're pretty annoying so you must be an atheist, right?
It's also false.
