I Am Not An Atheist

I was reading some quotes by an atheist one of which was : “Limiting the rights and freedoms of others in order to make them abide by your standards. That's a sin.”
This misguided gentleman apparently had forgotten that during the 20th century a regime governed by atheism limited the rights and freedoms of 250 million people in order to make them abide by the standards of the regime. People who didn’t abide by the standards of the regime will put in prison camps and many were murdered - around 35 million in peace time alone. Ah the benefits of atheism! Why didn’t this guy mention that?

That was not done because of Atheism itself, religion was taken out of the picture so that the regime is the only authority and nothing else can influence the chain of command. You're doing the same thing that you're complaining about, cherry picking an instance to support your side only to get points.

You know nothing about history quite obviously. The regime was built on atheism. You guys are th3 ones who love to cherry pick. How many times have I heard that puerile argument. @DrSunnyTheSkeptic
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Speedyman Right, and you are completely non biased. You are truth and fact incarnate, you are right and everyone who claims differently has no idea what they are talking about. Give me a break, old man.
Speedyman · 70-79, M
Just stating facts. Sorry the truth offends you. But it usually does with folk like you@DrSunnyTheSkeptic
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Speedyman And how do you know it's indeed facts and not what [b]YOU WANT[/b] to believe because it suits your opinion? People like you who are so stubborn and accept no opposing opinion never progress, you'll surround yourself with like minded parrots because your arthritis flares up at the thought of considering facts and ideas different than the ones you like!
Speedyman · 70-79, M
Not at all you’re the one who’s arthritis is flaring up and you’re the one who stubbornly refusing to face the facts. There are facts of history which are on my side and are not on your side. Sorry mate, history us against you, no matter how you and your atheist friends twist it. And when it comes to gullible like minded parrots atheists lead the field @DrSunnyTheSkeptic
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Speedyman It's not the fact of history that I have a problem with, it's you. Because you do not give even an ounce of doubt to your opinion. History is the supposed record of events, events orchestrated and written down by people, people are subjective and like you are very biased. And for that reason I will not accept anything that comes out of your mouth not because I don't want to accept it, but because you're so full of yourself and for some reason delude yourself that you can't be wrong that I'd never trust your "knowledge" even to write homework. Pretty sure I'd get an F for you "facts"
Speedyman · 70-79, M
Of course it was due to atheism. The regime wa#governed by atheism. It was fundamental just as certain religions are fundamental to certain regimes today. You are the one deluding yourself.go back to school!@DrSunnyTheSkeptic
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Speedyman The regime being governed by atheists is not the same as governing regime FOR atheism or that is the purpose of atheists. You want to compare crimes old man? How many people do you think have been killed by religious people and because of religion and how many have been killed by an atheist? Your dementia and stubbornness is getting to you
Speedyman · 70-79, M
There are far less people have been killed in history by ‘so-called religious’ people than were killed by the atheistic regimes of the twentieth century. That is fact. Not that we are condoning any killing. I’m afraid that your name-calling is a sign that you are losing the argument@DrSunnyTheSkeptic
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Speedyman Factually that's wrong, since religion was dominant until the last few centuries, every murder to that point was made by religious people, including the crusades the muslims and anyone else who killed in the name of god. You are the one losing the argument.
Speedyman · 70-79, M
I’m not losing the argument at all. It is a fact that the atheistic regimes of the 20th century murdered more people that all the religious crusades put together. That doesn’t make the crusades right but its getting things in perspective@DrSunnyTheSkeptic
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Speedyman Actually no, because your base argument is completely wrong. It's like saying that blonde people are mass murderers because Germans were to some extent blond. You make it sound as if they killed jews, gays, gypsies and POWs because they were angry blondes not because they were nuts with an insane ideology. Your whole argument is just your insult to atheism because you like your little jesus stories
Speedyman · 70-79, M
You are absolutely totally and utterly wrong. You know nothing . You are going off into a tangent that ignores history and what I said. You are totally confused and so confused you have confused yourself. I was not talking about anything you said. You are the one who’s argument is nuts. Shows how atheism thrives on ignorance @DrSunnyTheSkeptic
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Speedyman You fail to convince me when your only arguments are "YOU ARE WRONG! YOU KNOW NOTHING! I SPEAK THE TRUTH, GO BACK TO SCHOOL! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!"

You're just biased and so narrow-minded that your shortsightedness allows you to see nothing else but that which you want. What else? Were dinosaur bones put in the dirt by satan to test your faith? Evolution a demon theory and molecules just some random things you dont accept?

You're a fine example of why religion was created in the first place, without the fear of god put in you, your kind of people would ravage the earth because you need a shepherd to be nice and kind because nothing else keeps you from evil.
Atheism is indeed that we can be good on our own accord without the fear that there is a God who would send us to hell if we do misdeeds!
Speedyman · 70-79, M
I am narrowminded in that I accept the truth I’m not your woolly minded rewriting of history. The fact is there was far more fear in the atheistic societies of the Soviet union than there ever was in any religious society. The fact that you choose to ignore this fact does not alter history but just makes you a history denier. But then atheism is built on the fact that people deny the truth. Your postulating and ridiculous suggestions are just typical of the ignorant atheist propaganda which is found on the Internet and which confirms my opinion that atheism is built on ignorance@DrSunnyTheSkeptic
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Speedyman Ok give me real proof that doesnt involve you repeating that you know the truth, because that is no argument. Provide some real evidence, because you just repeating that I know nothing and you know all is no argument
Speedyman · 70-79, M
The evidence is in history. Read any history and you’ll find it there. I realise you are lacking in education and you are a sceptic. The sceptic sees through everything and sees nothing. @DrSunnyTheSkeptic
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Speedyman Still not an argument. You cant back your words with anything so it's evident it's built on a pile of garbage, a house of cards nothing else.
Speedyman · 70-79, M
You haven’t given me one argument yet. If you look you have just built a pile of garbage and a House of Cards. The fact is that atheistic regimes killed more people in the 20th century than anything else. The problem is with people like you is that you are just denies of the truth@DrSunnyTheSkeptic
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Speedyman So now you shift things towards me because you still have nothing but bias to prove for your words :D :D :D
It was fun arguing with you old man, it's adorable how your generation are so set in your ways, basically set in stone.
Speedyman · 70-79, M
It’s fun seeing how your generation are just totally ignorant of anything that a decent education would bring. Why don’t you go back to school and learn a few facts? Go and read some books instead of arguing on the Internet@DrSunnyTheSkeptic
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Speedyman I have, and they say that everything you told me is nonsense.
You're doing the same like Hitler, blaming something else and using it as a scapegoat, he blamed jews you blame atheists
Speedyman · 70-79, M
Not at all I am just making a point. I am just saying what history teaches us. I am saying and atheistic regime held 250 million people prisoners in fear. That is what history teaches us. Sorry that you cannot accept the facts of history and are one of these people who wants to re-write it@DrSunnyTheSkeptic
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Speedyman What part of religion was abolished to curb power from any other point in order for the regime to be one and all don't you get? That's why Stalin did it, that's why Castro did it, that's why Mao did it. POWER! It has absolutely nothing to do with atheism itself, it's merely a tool, up to that point religious power has been separate from governmental. What possible reasons would Atheists have to kill people? Because they're some cartoon villain with no logic, "well now i will kill because.... I have absolutely no reasons but I will kill because I hate god"

You see now why your """"""TRUTH"""""" makes so little sense?
Speedyman · 70-79, M
It was all to do with atheism. You haven’t a clue mate. Your argument is typical of the atheists who just don’t know one end of sense from another. Now pack up and go back to school@DrSunnyTheSkeptic
