Reaction on this picture from Christian group image - Atheists, Agnostics, and Anti-theists of ModDB
Atheists, Agnostics, and Anti-theists of ModDB
Educational
A group for those without religion, as well as those who oppose it. Atheism and Agnosticism and Anti-theism.
This picture is a great example of narrowness of some Christians (SOME!).
1. Hitler was not an atheist. He was a big Christian. But who cares right? He was evil, so he is anti-christ.
2. About the picture with communists and with Stalin. Stalin was an atheist true. (even a big murderer has to have some good properties). But it doesn't mean thats the reason of his murdering. Stalin was a Georgian. Georgia is VERY VERY religious country. But they are still only nation that has statue of Stalin and it's their national hero. If his career was build on atheism then how is this possible?
3. If there was world without atheism you would not have even a simple light bulb to make light on the toilet. Or computer to write about things you known nothing about.
4. I never support atheism by examples of single persons. But of course I can do it too. Hitler was a Christian and he was murderer! What does it mean? Christianity is bad. When you're clever enough to not support Christianity this way then we can discuss.
5. Do not mention genocide, or I will talk about 2000 years of forced religion totality in Europe that makes more deaths then Communism and Nazism together.
6. Have a nice day, bye.
Godwin Jackpot.
This is the worst thing they've posted yet, irrational and simply not true. These things don't correlate to the lack of religion, they were done in the name of totalitarian dictators, not atheism. If it's getting this bad, let's just end this ridiculous war between the two groups, it's starting to get absurd.
We must admit we also use "that middle age full of inquisition and those pretty pleasant things". Both are caused by people... Which leads to question, if humans are God's creation and God is good, why are people bad?
At first he made us, then he nearly destroyed us, because we were bad, but he saved few to make civilization again and whole again... This is quite a mess, considering he should already know what will happen (we'll be bad). It seems to be kind of human thinking, about forgiving to criminal who can't be better. It seems to be a human who came up with idea of God. Really, some humans have those kinds of non-logic feelings, if it was a film, it could be one of those "Loved or Hated, nothing else".
lol you beat me to it xD
I am not sure if that is a positive or negative feedback...
But inquisition WAS made in the name of religion.
@CommanderDef
According to my interpretation of my religion of Christianity... People are bad and sin exists because God allows them to have free will.
Also @ the description... this image was posted by a single user. Don't say "the worst thing "'they've'" uploaded yet."
Fair? :)
The point was that atheism, and not fearing the Lord, lead to them doing the things they were doing because they believed they would get away with it and not be held accountable.
Nope. You are an idiot.
(buried)
1: Hitler wasn't a Christian. Read Hitler's Table Talk as referenced in the description.
2: Stalin persecuted religious people for the sake of atheism.
3: The guy who created the computer was a Christian.
4: Hitler was anti-Christian. Hitler's Table Talk references this.
5: Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler, USSR and North Korea have killed more in a shorter time span.
6: Goodbye.
thank you for your "truths", goodbye...
Yeah Hitler was definitely anti-Christian. That's the reason why 98% of Germans were Christian believers right?

About your other points I have no strength to answer ..
Hitler was a Christian and he hated jews due the fact, that they had so many hig places and were on important places in the Germany, so he wanted to get rid of them and ''purify'' german nation back to its original state (blond hair, blue eyes etc.). So that was the main reason of hes killing.
And it is kinda true that USSR and other have killed more in shorter time. Like my country for example, over 100 thousand people were departed or killed by both Hitler and Stalin alone during couple dozen years
Yes, but USSR killed more in shorter time, but they had concentration camps, guns and in USSR lived more people then in all Europe in middle age. In medieval age they killed so many people only with sword and inquisition. They for example completely annihilated city that had about 5000 people. In middle age that was VERY big city. Of course they killed less people. Even if they would kill every single person in Europe they wouldn't kill as many people as Soviet Union did. I think that for the middle age, church showed very good performance in killing.
1: Hitler was a Roman Catholic.
2: Stalin persecuted religious people because they were a threat to him. He was considered godlike. (<= Not atheistic at all)
3: So? Newton was Christian too, but look at the middle east, or the middle ages what religion does if you let it.
4: Hitler was christian. His writings and speaches, and "Gott mit uns" (God with us) on the belt buckles on all german soldiers prove this.
5: Not in the name of atheism.
yeh totally right there
