Oh yeah, like it did for victims of Stalin’s gulags and the Great Terror (28-30 million). Like it did for victims of Hitler’s little foray into world domination (6-7 million). Like it did for victims of Mao’s Cultural Revolution (30+ million).

Correlation does not equal causation. Hitler was a theist, though it is a common falsehood that he was not, spread by theists who would do anything possible to dissociate their belief system/gods with his.

Atheism is the lack of belief in god(s). It contains no dogmas, rituals, actions, belief systems, tenets, etc. There is nothing about atheism which would provide a causal link between atheism and any action.

Atheist wackos can be murderous vermin just as easily as fundamentalist wackos can.

Agreed.

Hitler was actually a pagan. A lapsed catholic, he ended up with a muddled belief in the old Teutonic gods but never ritualized his beliefs.

“I just got married and was waking up to get off to college while finishing my last year in journalism. My wife called and said “turn on the television”. I did, and the second plane had not hit yet. When I got to college, as I walked up to the television studio in the Basket Ball Arena my professor walked out, and with the sun reflecting off the domed arena a shadow threw his hands up and hollered, “Go home and turn on the television…This is your Pearl Harbor” That is why I built this site. Joe Burns was his name.”

I found this on http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/ pretty cool opinions there…

I agree with your conclusion. I can only pray that those on the ground in the attacked area act as those in New York City did, as Americans coming to the aid of other Americans, risking their lives for their fellow citizens, even when they were perfect strangers. I could never make it through the obituaries the NYT ran on some of the dead, especially those who died staying behind or walking slowly down the stairs with an injured stranger or company colleague they barely knew. That is what we have achieved as a civilization, when there are a great number of us who are willing to die to help each other, rather than run away and forget those left behind.

Rick,
With THE WON in office and doing what he is doing, aren’t they winning now. I think they would be awful stupid to do a major attach at this time; that might be a game changer.

I have come to the same conclusion as you, and I posted something similar today (albeit shorter). Some may say “pessimistic”, but I say “realistic”.
