He is often credited with the entire loss of life under his rule - the American bombing campaign and related war and postwar mortality is omitted. That misleads.

btw: His worldview - and that of most other modern communist atheistic genocidal despotisms, such as Stalin's - shared with the Abrahamic religions a hostility toward Darwinian evolution and biological science in general.

So we should settle - for the purposes of the thread - which of the alternating labels for such authoritarian communist ideological movements and schools to affix: Are they religions ?
In the past the Abrahamic theists here have chosen either yes or no depending on which served their immediate purpose - did they wish to disparage hypocrisy in those who claimed superior rationality and less reliance on faith etc for such governance, or did they wish to separate religion from the bad behavior of authoritarian communists.

bbtw: The attempted slide from religiously organized, caused, or justified, violence to "religious mandated violence" (sic) is not going to work.

Example, from a genocidal mass killing comparable to Pol Pot's, in Nigeria: https://www.jstor.org/stable/23017723?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents

It was you showing up at the orphanage wearing a bomb vest to get a crack at 72 virgins that prompted the flyover.

Superficial is as far as you allow any of these conversations to go. Any time a request for specifics arises you start channeling Johnnie Cochran and bring up Wookiees on Endor.

Epistemology deals with various interpretations concerning the acquisition of knowledge, what constitutes knowledge is more narrowly defined. Essentially knowledge is a justified belief. Regardless of how you interpret the process of getting there, you still have to demonstrate the elemental of proof involved. So if you're going to use epistemology as cover for your still unsupported assertion of knowledge of the divine, then you will have to put up a justified explanation for it.

The scientific method.

 

I guess I won't join his atheist club then.

 

Not even if membership comes with a swanky uniform?

 

How about a beautiful mitre and purple robes with gold brocade?

 

My brainwasher was Lewis Black.

Yes. Hitler is a favorite of Christians. They cite him all the time in context of atheists killing believers in the name of Atheism.

Talk about a shit stained glasses. Ever looked at shit through Holy glasses. Holy shit...

Especially not.

 

There is disagreement between your raw concept and your context. Five people counting coin flips in a probability test can produce a valid and reliable result result by assembling their own empiric observations into a common body of information.

Five people watching an event and offering matching political descriptions of what they saw are not nearly so reliable a context of empiricism.

Five people trying to split hairs about the words "atheist" and "atheism" in order to have maximum argumentative presence and minimal argumentative obligation, similarly, would be trolling.

Your exploration of "orifice ramming"↑, to the other, is your own issue, and needn't be anyone else's.

 

Atheists wear uniforms? Musika, I'm sorry to say, your mind has been completely obliterated by religious indoctrination and misinformation.

Ever seen a Catholic school? Ever see nuns wear uniforms? Ever see the students wear uniforms? Ever seen a religious priest wear a uniform (frock)? Ever seen religious pomp and circumstance in worship of the divine One?

I saw several atheists wear T-shirts with "Save the Whales" once. Some uniform, huh?

 

For those who still believe that Hitler was an atheist, you may want to refresh memory.

So don't tell me that Hitler was an Atheist. Quite the contrary, he was a religious person.
Kinda turns the Hitler argument on it's head no?

p.s. He didn't kill the Jews for being religious Jews. He blamed the Jews for the faltering German economy. He was afraid of their political influence and wanted their MONEY!

Does that begin to sound familiar?

 

Ummm

You just cited Hitler (about 2 pages back) as some sort of model for applying scripture. That was the specific bullshit I was calling out in regards to your glasses. This whole discourse about Hitler's individual religious leanings is irrelevant.

 

No, he didn't.
And that misrepresentation was indeed what you were calling out - you just assigned it to the wrong poster.

 

I used to have a button that said "Nuke a Gay Whale for Jesus!"

I wasn't popular with Baptists or hippies, and that was OK.

Some asshole stole that from me...
