Post found: 'WORST atrocities in human history'. Is it misrepresented?

"THE WORST atrocities in human history have been committed by Atheists who profoundly influenced by Darwin murdered 100 million people in a few decades ... More people then all the wars and collective murders in human history combined! The non metaphysical view of ethics is that they are evolutionary products that are merely taboos to help us survive and one moral ethos is a matter of personal tastes. Tell me how does that help us ...."

"I would rather live under the worst theocracy in Islam ( and in no fan of Islam ) than an atheistic one"

My thoughts.. Atheism is NOT an ideology. An atheists can be a fascist/nihilist but atheism was NOT their motive. Some of the people I assume this guy is talking about did believe in a God. And to the ones that don't, it was not their lack of belief in a god which drove them and motivated them, it was political, racial and nationalistic reasons and defended a religious worldview using religious doctrines to do so. Basically it was about Power.

This has "horse manure"

fruyian,

This post you mentioned has "horse manure" written all over it! It appears to be the product of a low-grade moron. It would be a waste of my time to wade into it.

Not to mention he casually mentioned he'd be fine living under Sharia law. He obviously has no idea what Saudi Arabia and ISIS is like.

Blaming Darwin for the wars

Blaming Darwin for the wars of the 20th century is like blaming the Wright Brothers for 9/11.
