Atheism - A License to Kill

Atheism per se creates a moral vacuum where everyone can behave like Satan himself.

The most oppressive and human-killing regime's have been when Atheists have taken over governments. Nevertheless, atheists claim that people of faith are to blame for mass amounts of people's lives being taken. This is not based on facts. In the past century, Atheism forced its beliefs on people of faith or simply slaughtered hundreds of millions of them.

Persecution of Christians in Atheist Soviet Union:
The Soviet Union was the first state to have as an ideological objective the elimination of religion. Toward that end, the Communist regime confiscated church property, ridiculed religion, harassed believers, and propagated atheism in the schools. The main target of the anti-religious campaign in the 1920s and 1930s was the Russian Orthodox Church, which had the largest number of faithful. Nearly all of its clergy, and many of its believers, were shot or sent to labor camps. Theological schools were closed, and church publications were prohibited.

The Soviet Union was the first state to have as an ideological objective the elimination of religion. Toward that end, the Communist regime confiscated church property, ridiculed religion, harassed believers, and propagated atheism in the schools.

Actions against Orthodox priests and believers along with execution included torture being sent to prison camps, labour camps or mental hospitals. Christians were also subjected to psychological punishment or torture and mind control experimentation in order to force them give up their religious convictions.

Many Christian believers in the Soviet Union were imprisoned for no other reason than believing in God. Many have recently been canonized as saints following their death at the hands of Soviet authorities.

An intense ideological anti-Christian campaign was carried out throughout the history of the Soviet Union. An extensive education and propaganda campaign was undertaken to convince people, especially the children and youth, not to become believers. The role of the Christian religion and the Church was painted in black colors in school textbooks

School students were encouraged to taunt and use peer pressure against classmates wearing crosses or otherwise professing their faith. In the 1920s there were many "anti-God" publications and social clubs sponsored by the government, most notably the scathingly satirical "Godless at the Workbench" (безбожник).

Criticism of atheism in the Soviet Union was strictly forbidden and could lead to imprisonment. Anti-religious propaganda was openly sponsored and encouraged by the government, which the Church was not given an opportunity to publicly respond to. The government youth organization, the Komsomol, encouraged its members to vandalize Orthodox Churches and harass worshippers. Source: Википедия

He is fictional, and was invented by man. Just like Harry Potter.

@herzog380 Scandinavian countries are on the top of the list of countries where atheism is most prevalent. How much killing and torturing do you see here? On the other end, in third-world countries atheism is next to nonexistent.

@ajhrockerboy6 Then where did God come from?

[Hairysteed]

@ajhrockerboy6 On the contrary! Atheists do good things because they want to live in a world where people do good things. Theists do good things only because they fear God will punish them otherwise.

I dare God to stop me from writing this comment

@herzog380 Some good answers can be found on About.com by searching "How Many Were Killed by Communists in the Name of Atheism & Secularism?"

@herzog380 You couldn't even provide documentations supporting YOUR accusations and you're expecting me to refute YOUR OWN fallacy? It's blatantly easy to dismiss with just some well-conducted online searches.

*Sidenote: The problem here is not about Jesus Christ nor his teachings, it's the unfortunate fact that some people are using his name to put forward their personal agendas. My stand is similar to Gandhi's quote in that "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians".
