Hitler: Catholic (Christian)
Mussolini: Catholic (Christian)
Hussein: Moslem
Henry VIII Anglican (Christian)
etc
You're right, Captain, it is easy.
Or to put it another way without really changing much other than a sect and a nationality....Michael Douglas
(sigh) I've had this argument many times......the Nazi movement led by Adolph Hitler was NOT Christian, but pagan. The NSDAP played up to the Catholic Church to get the necessary support to gain power, but the Party penalized Christians.....and its symbolism, its philosophy, and the entire thrust of its actions behind the scenes harked back to a much earlier German people....a pagan people....a pagan philosophy.

No, I've just been busy hunting, volunteering and fixing up the den.Wisdom seems in short supply these days. I wonder if it's the lack of sunlight?
Ya I say I'm a Bear myself, but no one really actually believes it. I could call myself a humanist too if I liked, but that wouldn't be true either.
The same reason any church is organized - to fleece the flockIf 'atheism" is not a religion....why the need to organize and publicize?
I saw a guy yesterday that looked a helluva lot like Jesus washing his truck and another guy that looked like Mohammed washing his taxi at Saskwash on Saskatchewan Drive & Athol.
There was harmony at the coin op carwash and it was good.
Jesus drives an all white Ford F150.
Of course Jesus drives Ford. He wouldn't be stupid even if I don't believe his stories.
That's right, not hard at all.
Speaking of more recent examples, Nina Courtepat's (atheist) killers were recently in the news again... You remember Nina, don't you? She was the one that was lured out late one night to a golf course by a few others, restrained, beaten, raped repeatedly, beaten again and then bludgeoned to death.
Almost like Rena Virk out on the coast... Remember her?... She earned a thorough beating with the added bonus of getting tossed into a river.. When they viewed her pulling herself onto the bank, her arms were broken so she couldn't do a repeat of that and tossed back in the water.
Yep, that atheist violence sure is some kinda special, ain't it?
Me thinks the man be made of straw because it is the only type of argument he seems to be able to use.The good Captain is simply making it up!
I notice these poster people have got a death-wish.You should really read the story before you make judgement too, you'll see this picture accompanying the story in the Vancouver Sun article:

Notice anything?
Are you sure that in the examples you have listed that the killers committed their crimes in the name of atheism? In other words did they commit the acts shouting atheistic phrases; or was their belief of lack of it completely irrelevant?
How was atheism involved in the Virk murder?
That might be because neither of us are atheists.Are atheists bound to declare their beliefs every time they make a photocopy or drink a cup of coffee? My recollection may be a little rusty, but I don't recall Cliffy or Spade declaring the submission of their posts in the name of atheism..
