Does It Matter That The Suspected North Carolina Shooter Is An Atheist? | ThinkProgress

Now, don't get me wrong. I don't think there are atheists perpetrating crimes because of their beliefs. Even if they were it would be a fraction compared to the religious.
Just don't say it doesn't happen.
I gave you the opportunity to provide your own definition of what you think constitutes an extremist but so far you have pussed out and avoided giving an answer. I think anyone smarter than Forrest Gump has enough common sense to comprehend that if you are willing to commit violence and kill someone because of your religious beliefs, that makes you an extremist.
I think you will see a rise in atheist crimes targeting religion pretty soon. My atheist friends on Facebook are so fucking rabidly against Christians is actually kind of hilarious. They preach tolerance and oppose racism and then they post the most hateful shit ever targeting Christians. Like every Christian in the world personally writes "In God we trust" on their dollar bills.

It was already demonstrated clearly that this shooting was over a parking spot, not religious beliefs.
Did you miss the memo? Of course not. This is you peddling one of your shitty strawman arguments again.

Because the statement I quoted was that you don't see atheists even doing it ....
Atheists do bad things all the time. They don't it because they are atheists though.

You were very passively aggressively trying to use that as a counter to the fact that christians and muslims kill directly according to their faith. Then, just in case someone would call you on the bullshit you are implying, you throw in a "caveat" so you can claim people are misrepresenting you when they mock your stupidity.
I hope they clone you and then the clone kills himself.
Not at all. Very specifically said that religion does do it for religion and in greater numbers.
Just don't make statements that are 100% inaccurate. If you are going to make a claim that is ambiguous or can't be substantiated then find a stance that is either unprovable either way or find something that has some question to it.
"No atheists have claimed atheism for the reason behind them killing someone else."
Now that would have been a stance that could be taken and done so quite easily with very little question.
"Christians have killed more people than the plague."
That is also an easy stance because it is leaving a lot of room since it isn't claiming they did it in the name of Christianity just that they were a Christian and they killed someone.
You are a learned man you should know how headlines and statistics are manipulated for a narrative. The narrative that etchazz was trying to convey is that atheists don't kill people, that is what religious people do. It's a bullshit stance with no ability to back it up.
The smart atheists like Bill Maher have enough decency to not resort to ridiculous exageration and hyperbole by trying to equate Christian extremism to Islamic extremism. Doing that just makes you come across as a fool.
Anyone who actually believes the percentage of Christians who would commit violence in the name of God is comparable to the percentage of Muslims (documented in the Pew study) is welcome to provide some factual data to back up their position.

Lets not forget that GW Bush literally sold the Iraq conflict to the Christian right as a sort of holy war, and that large portions of our military are Christians, mostly Protestant. And much of US Christian propaganda explicitly compares evangelists to combatants.
The major difference between Christianity and Islam in the modern world that allows people like rescorla to pretend the 1st through 17th centuries and later never happened is that secularists have dragged Christians kicking and screaming into the modern world and much of modern Islamic violence is an attempt to prevent that feom happening to them. In fact is a reaction to the modern world and humanism and secularism making in roads in these societies.

Translated: hodj can't actually provide any factual data to back up his claims so he resorts back to events that happened centuries ago. In case that point went over your head, I'm only concerned with what is going on in the real world today. If you can't back up your claim, feel free to admit you were wrong.

Lets start eith the massacring and conversion at the point of the sword of every major native north and south american indigenous tribe, a process which wasnt completed until the mid part of last century, dumbfuck.
100 million dead on forst contact. Your rebuttal?
Your argument is a fallacy of cherry picking, by the way.

So exactly what I said, if you ignore 1700 years of history, which allows you to pretend that oceans of blood havent already been spilled in your imaginary friends' name
