First of all, I am really surprised that this forum is so much occupied by religious people.
Bittersteel, ok, easy that way, check the statistics for religious/atheists in jails. Just for start.
Also, Christianity did hold back the progress. Pretty much developed classic era progress was neglected and forgotten pretty much exactly during rising of christianity, wasn't it?
Grytviken indeed you are right here. And in case some group of people try to shout out about this they are either expelled or killed. Nice tradition taken from early Soviet,
Red Terror Cheka, transformed to PVRK, then KGB and now FSB (FSS). Should have been lustrated in 1991, but it wasn't and now in Russia we have what we have.
But anyway, how do my Russian roots even bother you in this conversation? Ad hominem as usual.
Oberyn, you are well known cunt, but I still will reply to you. Atrocities of 20th century were not led precisely by non-religious people, but still the most monstrous person was deeply christian for your info.
All other were assholes as well and did genocide to their own people disregard the religious beliefs. This I do not deny at all.
But as far as I understood you are denying that religion is to blame for so many crimes. In the first place I said that it is not the countries but religions to blame and you attacked my views. However hardly you would object that nowadays religion is used as shield for completely retarded views and even more as a shield for example from taxation and other things. What is from my point of view too much hypocritical and gives no right to stand moral high ground.
