GaroweGal Posted April 13, 2012 Raamsade;818021 wrote: Stalin was a communist dictator. His atheism was incidental just like Saddam Hussien's Islam was incidental to his sadistic and brutal nature. Ditto Assad who nobody labels as "Muslim mass murderer" even though he is self-professed Muslim. His faith is extraneous to his actions. Hitler wasn't an atheist he was a Roman Catholic. Where do you think he picked all that pent up rage against Jews? You guessed it: Christianity. Just like Somalis hate Jews today thanks to Islam as Jews have historically done no harm to Somalis. Jew hating has long and sordid history in Islam and Christianity. And the reason why Hitler and Stalin killed more people is not because they were atheists as you mistakenly believe. They killed more people because they had better technology than their medieval counterparts. Muslims and Christians of Crusades era, for instance, only had swords, bow and arrows, spears, etc. Where as Hitler and Stalin had mass transportation (trains, trucks, cars, airplanes), mass communication (radio, television, telegraph, phone), gas chambers and modern weapons like tanks, artillery, machine guns, etc. Modern technology makes it easier to kill a lot of people. If there were only swords and spears in Somalia, like the good ol' days, they'd be far far fewer deaths I can assure. It appears that atheists like you cannot accept the fact that Hitler’s racialist social policies in Nazi Germany were inspired by “social Darwinism” as he believed the Aryan race was far superior than other races, hence paving the way for the Holocaust. I think it is immaterial and irrelevant that Hitler himself professed to be Roman Catholic as no believing person is capable of inflicting such inhumane and indescribable atrocities. Equally, Mao’s, Mussolini’s and Stalin’s murderous systems were also atheism inspired ideologies. Not to mention that European imperialists also used “Social Darwinism” to justify their appalling and atrocious expeditions of civilising the savages. Therefore it is not surprising that modern day atheists like yourself cannot fathom that atheism inspired ideologies such as fascism, Nazism, racialism, and imperialism have resulted so much death and destruction in planet earth.

nuune Posted April 13, 2012 Garnaqsi, to make easier for you, I am sure you know what the question is talking about: What are you without religion, no need in la wareegeesto, at least give an honest answer, it is not hard, and don't be like that Raamsade, asking, there are many religions, you are clever enough to give an honest answer, let it out, sxb.

Think over this. On general note; without sincerity of purpose, an argument will not be different from a quarrel. of course there is a scholastic approach to a legitimate argument. there should be a common definition base, which acts as reference pertaining to the use of terms. for example, prove. what someone sees as prove, might not be what the other sees as prove. rules of engagement Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't "accept" it because it is not true. There is no such thing as Social Darwanism since "social" connotes learned behaviour whereas Darwanism connotes genetically inheritable traits (instincts are genetically determined, for example). People learn (and unlearn) to be bigots and racists from their environment be it their parents, extended family or larger society in general. They don't genetically inherit bigotry and racism from their parents. So, it is simply wrong to ascribe Hitler's atrocities to some makebelieve notion called Social Darwanism. Hitler hated Jews because he was reared in a society that fostered antisemitism in the form of wanton demonization and dehumanization of Jews ultimately rendering them sub-humans. In fact, the Holocaust offers a cautionary tale of what happens when wanton bigotry and dehumanization is left unchecked. The Holocaust is the culmination of centuries old European antisemitism. GaroweGal;818103 wrote: I think it is immaterial and irrelevant that Hitler himself professed to be Roman Catholic as no believing person is capable of inflicting such inhumane and indescribable atrocities. This is outlandish claim born of pious hubris but can you substantiate your claim? Or do you just want us to take your word for it? I think your problem is you think Atheists and unbelievers in general are morally suprior to believers. Let me disabuse of you of such mistaken perception. Athiests have no monopoly on morality or good behaviour. They're human beings and like all humans beings they contain their share of good and bad apples. The only difference is atheists don't justify their atrocities on some prehistoric religious texts and therefore it is relatively easier to discredit their ideas.
