(3,496 posts)since the New Atheist movement has started, you guys can no longer claim neutrality. I empathize, and I am a huge Sam Harris fan. Basically, atheists accept secular humanism as a moral code for living.
There is no dogma, rules or commandments telling Christians to kill people. Nevertheless, Christianity is held to be responsible for every evil since the fall of Rome as a DIRECT RESULT of Jesus's teaching, which is basically "the golden rule": so the opposite of violence.
I respect logic and reason and basics more than the average DUer. If you can explain to me the logical link between Christianity and violence, I will retract my posts of my (admittedly immature) gleeful rejoicing that now you guys get to try and make sense out of this crazy society.
