    That was nationalism, not atheism.

    So we can rule out every murder between countries or fought for control of land as being tied to Christianity? Great, that's the type of common sense attitude I was looking. I knew I could count on you for some common sense around here.

    You really think that was in the name of atheism?

    As long as people weren't riding around claiming this, that and the other piece of land "in the name of our lord," or shouting about driving out the "heathens," sure.

    Who cares what they were shouting when it was really about possession of land for their country. I can sell you Cavalier all the while calling it a BMW but it doesn't change the fact that it's a Cavlier.

    I took the bait that the trollong thread Why Aren't Christians Pacifists? That type of thread should piss of people of all beliefs, It's insulting. It stereotypes. It holds Christians to be something more than they are, which is human. It's a childish type of post that says "hey I'm not Christian and my shit don't stink". And I got sucked in by it.

    What of Buddhists...monks?

    How transparent is the line of practice what you preach?

    Do what you say you profess or be insane.

    I see. I tend to ignore most shit like aht here, though I did arc up at corporatewhore o this thread for being "ist".

    Have a surf, chill, and remember that you can never change anyone's mind about anything !!

    Are they lacking a moral compass? Or do they just believe in murder?


    there's a big difference between murder and self-defense.

    that's what right-wing cranks on the radio say a lot, so it must be true.

    There have been wars that were based on faith, where the land grab was made in the name of the faith, with attempts to drive out and/or convert the heathens. WWII wasn't one of them, but they have happened.

    Maybe we should cut them some slack... Who knows what the Reds are planning, even as we speak?
