Meh, whatever.

BTW, if people who call people jerks are jerks, does that make you a jerk for calling me a jerk? OMG....MIND FREAK!

No, not really. You'll find the great majority of us don't really give a damned. It's really only the jerks who are up in arms about stuff.

That's a bit disingenuous to say the least. While religion may not have been the direct cause of those wars it was none the less an important piece of the puzzle. You neglect the wars mentioned in the OT as well as the myriad of killing the Popes advanced.
Modern warfare killed more people because of technology. The engine brought more people to the war and the bullet killed at a greater distance. If those wars had been fought with swords and bows they would have produced far less death. Korea and Vietnam were fought because our xians had too keep communism from spreading godlessness. Remember? That's why we had to put "in god we trust" on our money and and "one nation under god" in our pledge. The problems with the Monarchy (and it's religious control of government) was one of a couple reasons for the American revolution. Similarly with the French revolution.
The Civil war was over slavery and the southern xians used the bible to justify slavery.
WWI, here's a xian fundy talking

Here is the original question I responded to...

"More people have died in the name of religion(s) than anything else so spare me this crap about how more religion is better for society" - Kali

Now please explain how any of the response you posted has anything even remotely to do with my response to him?

Your information is also factually wrong.

Fail

You may also want to respond to this...

So you ignore the meat of my post showing your error in your comment about pagan holidays etc. which is what my history reference was referring to.

But thats OK, Ill bite...

It is believed that key concepts of Zoroastrian eschatology and demonology have had influence on the Abrahamic religions. On the other hand, Zoroastrianism itself inherited ideas from other belief systems and, like other practiced religions, accommodates some degree of syncretism.

So I guess they all were influenced by someone at some point.

I guess this means we are both correct to some extent? ;)

If the people who died needed to be killed, then that's good for society :2wave:

People dying per-se is not automatically bad. It all depends on what they were fighting for and why they died.

I am shocked that you would defend the killing of millions of peoples. How sad:3oops:

No. On that particular piece you were correct and I was wrong. I was just pointing out even they got things from others as well. :)

He was not defending the killing of people. He was saying that dying for a cause etc. is not always considered a bad thing.

Go back and read, you are in this case very wrong.

Your comment was so illogical it's not even funny.

I've said this on this site before, but the most fun I ever had in college was screwing with members of the anarchist club. I just got such a kick ou tof the concept.

One of the funniest stories I ever heard was this. A couple of years ago, the anarchist's group on livejournal was getting spammed and attacked by a group of goths. So what did they do? They complained to the site owners, asking for them to step in and take care of the spammers. That's what's know as being self-smacked. :lol:

Wrong. atheist communists killed more people in the last century (100+ million) than anyone else. :2wave:

Interesting. Can you point out who these atheists are and that they are indeed atheist rather than anti-theist or anti-theocracy?
 
And look how he slipped in the "in the last century". He will ignore the fact that the communist regimes he's talking about killed no one in the name of atheism but rather through bad government/governing. Unlike the religious who kill in the name of their god.

I went ot one of their meetings on campus once with a friend and screamed out gibberish and ran around like a lunatic every time one of them started talking.

They threatened to call campus security on me if I didn't stop. :rofl

Because I wasn't responding to Kali, I was responding to your response to Kali. :confused:

No, my information is factually correct.

What you quoted was me responding to Rev, not to you. Are you off your meds or something? That's 2x now that you've directed posts at me in error. Maybe you got confused between your user name and the Revs... maybe you're the same person. :shock:
