"U cannot provide a link of causal relationship between these people being athiests and their actions".Let me do it for him then. It is very apparent that Darwinism and athiesm have very, very strong ties. I put it to you that the evil works of, to use one example,Stalin,directly correlates with that of Darwinian theory and athiesm.The systematic extermination of the weakest in society,who cannot benefit the gene pool.Stalin was employing himself as mother nature in a Darwin - influenced logic

@GoldenbanjoDJ

Nope, bro. Stalin's victims were by and large political enemies that he executed for being enemies of the state. Anybody that didn't fall in line with the Soviet master plan got iced. It didn't have much to do with being weak—at least not in a Darwinian sense of weakness.

lol do you hear your self? You prove that people can use atheism to kill!

Saying its not comparable is no different than Christians saying the crusaders are not comparable to current Christians lol.

efletch91 = absolute proof that at least one atheist is a MORON!

@ccline84 Catholic, and by Catholic not that bad.

[ccline84]

@Al1981X Was he Christian? Or rather a praticing Catholic? I seem to remember him being Catholic... however, I could be wrong.

[Al1981X]

Commism doesn't tolerate other ideologies. Othe ideologies are inferior.

Hitler was only Christian, he said he was doing what he was doing for the Christian God, and was also a creationist., as he said in his book.

The fact is that neither the CCCP, Germany, Cambodia, China or North Korea were democracies, They were in fact Theocracies with a supreme leader in sole charge of the country thus the had more in common with religion than any refusal to believe in a deity. The fact that religions were suppressed in these countries is not because their leaders were Atheists, there is little evidence of this, it was because they did not recognise the supreme authority of the leaders,

@Gilbertus1986

im not assuming it, useless limbs is one of the most OBVIOUS evidence of evolution. Whales, dolphins and snakes are found with legs sometimes, blend fact (Dolphin: wwwDOTunderwatertimesDOTcom/ne­wsDOTphp?article_id=3107160528­9 SNAKE: wwwDOTtelegraphDOTcoDOTuk/eart­h/wildlife/6187320/Snake-with-­foot-found-in-ChinaDOThtml) 2 choice: leg genes turned off and on OR random mutation that created a leg (both pro-evolution anyways)

[Gilbertus1986]

@tenedria I asked you, how do you KNOW the whale has the gene for actual legs. Have you sequenced the genes of whales?

If you haven't then you are ASSUMING that whales have this gene. Tiny bones mean Jack, as I have heard that they asist in keeping the whales sexual parts protected whilst mating, (however this is speculative)

[tenedria]

@Gilbertus1986

LOLS! xD you don't get it... what your thinking about is its arms, a whale has no legs because the gene is turned off but if you look at its DNA it has the potential of building legs. Some whales were even found with tiny bone legs integrated in their skin.

[Gilbertus1986]

@tenedria

What the journal article shows is that over 35 years of research on fruit flys, whilst the population genetics changed over time due to selection, there was no fixation of a wholly benefitial mutation. They admit the selection pressures were HIGHER and were more sustained than in nature itself, thus if anything were to happen that study was the prime candidate for it to occur.

[Gilbertus1986]

@tenedria Who told you whales have the genes for legs... Look at a picture of a whale, looks like a flipper to me.
