This is just awesome Goblinmonger May 2012 #1

Are you serious? rug May 2012 #2

That's what we Atheists go through EVERY FUCKING DAY Taverner May 2012 #3

I don't think Uncle Joe is after you. rug May 2012 #4

Uncle Joe is dead Taverner May 2012 #5

Good thing we live here and now. rug May 2012 #6

Good thing we live. Period. Taverner May 2012 #10

Antireligious propaganda combined with state power has all the charm of the Inquisition. AlbertCat May 2012 #66

If you are going to tell the story then tell the whole story. humblebum May 2012 #7

Terror tactics? Taverner May 2012 #8

Those were not my words. You are dealing in partial truths to obscure facts.nt humblebum May 2012 #12

Nope. Pospielovsky could NEVER be biased.... Taverner May 2012 #9

You're sourcing wiki and accusing him of bias? LOL humblebum May 2012 #11

He is a noted historian of the Russian Orthodox Church Taverner May 2012 #13

Doubt very seriously if his approach is biased if he utilizes as many sources humblebum May 2012 #16

I could show how the Israelites were really Brits using "many sources" Taverner May 2012 #17

Which proves absolutely nothing. As a matter of fact, humblebum May 2012 #18

Because atheism is the logical scientific conclusion Taverner May 2012 #19

If your mind and method of inquiry are limited to empiricism, then yours humblebum May 2012 #20

Ah, those other ways of knowing again. darkstar3 May 2012 #21

You just can't handle those whose thinking is broader than yours, can you? nt humblebum May 2012 #23

One may be open-minded without being required to accept that darkstar3 May 2012 #24

That's what I thought. nt humblebum May 2012 #26

Oh, I'm sure it is, humblebum. eqfan592 May 2012 #28

Other ways of knowing are useless, and have no verification process Taverner May 2012 #36

This is the whole lesson of all that history. The church was in bed with the Czar for centuries. dimbear May 2012 #33

I would say the same to you. Act_of_Reparation May 2012 #27

Nice spin, but it involved much more than just Stalin (or Marx). And humblebum May 2012 #29

No, he's spot on. It's a composition fallacy... Joseph8th May 2012 #31

Actually there are some strong philosophical links between organized atheism humblebum May 2012 #32

So we edhopper May 2012 #37

Who has put Stalin around the necks of all atheists? humblebum May 2012 #40

Well then, even if we accept your wacky-ass premise, you have ONE mass killing, and no war. darkstar3 May 2012 #45

No different than your "wacky-ass" denial. I suppose if you consider the Revolutions and civil wars humblebum May 2012 #46

Sure... darkstar3 May 2012 #49

most wars or mass killings were in fact not carried out in the name of religion, AlbertCat May 2012 #68

You can't just state lies as facts... Joseph8th May 2012 #39

You said that "Soviet atheism has had NO Influence on me." Really? humblebum May 2012 #41

Watch that drift... darkstar3 May 2012 #43

Where did I mention "coincidence?" nt humblebum May 2012 #48

That you can't see it makes it even funnier. darkstar3 May 2012 #50

Why then did you use quotation marks? humblebum May 2012 #52

When you use words you've seen others use, you should look them up first. darkstar3 May 2012 #54

Far too obvious to be coincidence. Too many direct connections. nt humblebum May 2012 #58

Which you cannot document, and you cannot refute #39. Tough shit. darkstar3 May 2012 #60

"Which you cannot document?" If you say so, but definitely rises to much more than mere coincidence. humblebum May 2012 #63

Too many direct connections. AlbertCat May 2012 #69

How are "quotation marks" words? nt humblebum May 2012 #62

This message was self-deleted by its author humblebum May 2012 #56

No! None of the above... so I guess that means... Joseph8th May 2012 #64

Then I will repeat what I said. humblebum May 2012 #65

The similarities are undeniable. AlbertCat May 2012 #70

Which makes absolutely no sense. nt humblebum May 2012 #71

Which makes absolutely no sense. AlbertCat May 2012 #72

So you really think that there are no similarities humblebum May 2012 #73

About as many similarities as there are between The World Church of the Creator and the NAACP. eqfan592 May 2012 #74

So you really think that there are no similarities AlbertCat May 2012 #75

Yes. You say that one group of atheists has absolutely nothing in common humblebum May 2012 #76

Maybe you ARE that dense! AlbertCat May 2012 #77

Yes of course. Sorta like how an apple and a cucumber are similar but not even remotely the same, humblebum May 2012 #78

You yourself said that you thought atheists were a subset of Marxist-Leninist communists. eqfan592 May 2012 #38

No I did not. I specified "Marxist-Leninist communists in the USSR." Not all humblebum May 2012 #42

Those last five words? You might want to explain them to your one-man cheer squad. darkstar3 May 2012 #44

"Communism was not required. Becoming an atheist was." Yep. and I'll stand by that. nt humblebum May 2012 #47

So you contradict yourself and care not? darkstar3 May 2012 #51

And where is there contradiction? Facts are facts. nt humblebum May 2012 #53

Seriously? You want me to fucking spoonfeed it to you? darkstar3 May 2012 #55

"Not all communists are atheists" Yep. "Becoming an atheist was {required}" Yep. humblebum May 2012 #57

You contradict yourself and care not. Gotcha. darkstar3 May 2012 #59

You have failed to show any evidence of contradiction. nt humblebum May 2012 #61

Is this Alan Moore's next graphic novel edhopper May 2012 #14

If he writes it, I'll read it. Goblinmonger May 2012 #15

Facts don't stop people from enjoying the usage of fallacy. darkstar3 May 2012 #22

Amen! Taverner May 2012 #25
