Stalin and Pol Pot were > both atheists. Yes, and the Crusader Popes, and the Bush family, and Hitler, and several genocidal factions of the Serbo-Croat wars, and the warring factions in Northern Ireland were Christians, mostly (Hitler excepted) killing in by they considered to be their version of God's will. We can both find examples until the cows come home, and each successive example advances the argument not one jot. I said it before, and it bears repeating - neither Christian nor atheist can claim the moral high ground when it comes to genocide or mass murder or war-making. > But politicians who killed large numbers of people > cannot compare with the numbers of people killed by abortion, which > was done by governments controlled by atheistic political factions. You're confusing secular with atheist. You really don't understand what "atheist" means, do you? Or rather, you choose not to make the distinction between atheist, agnostic, satanist, secular, and so on. It's either ignorance, wilful stupidity, or trolling, and the jury's out. TLA
