Alter2Ego NewbieALTER2EGO -to- EVERYONE:
Atheists consistently attempt to take the higher ground by pointing fingers of accusation at theists and accusing theists of committing all sorts of human rights violations in the name of "cultish religions," as they are fond of putting it. According to atheists, it is the belief in God that has caused people to commit the various atrocities common to mankind. Remove religion, belief in God, and belief in the Bible--the atheists argue--and the world will be a better place. This latter conclusion is mortally flawed for the following reasons:
1. Atheists have committed human rights violations en masse throughout history. For instance, Joseph Stalin--the atheist--ordered the deaths of between 40 million to 62 million people (20 million of which were everyday Soviet civilians), compared to the 6 million Jews and in addition to the other 3 million or so killed by Adolph Hitler the Roman Catholic "Christian."
In other words, the problem is not the Bible or God. The problem is people, including those in false religions which have failed to teach the masses Biblical truths. An appreciation for Biblical truths and Jehovah's righteous standards of what's right and what's wrong is the only detriment against people committing human rights violations. Blaming God for the crimes of false Christians is an attempt at passing the buck.
"See! This only I have found, that the true God made mankind upright, but they themselves have sought out many plans." (Ecclesiastes 7:29)
"They have acted ruinously on their own part; they are not his children, the defect is their own. A generation crooked and twisted!" (Deuteronomy 32:5)
2. Atheism is itself a religion. While atheist will argue that they don't believe in any god, the issue is not merely non-belief in God or gods but in having ANY sort of belief system that is vitally important to the person. The belief system of atheism is centered around the philosophy of "Secular-Humanism."
3. Atheism is a religion according to a 2005 Wisconsin federal court ruling as well as the U.S. Supreme Courtthe highest court in the land. -

Even then, atheists don't gather to worship nothingness.

DarkestKiss NoviceWait a minute.....
@Alter Since you're saying that all religions are cults, are you saying that you belong to a cult? I mean, you are obviously a theist. -
