Subject: RE: BS: The God Delusion 2010
By the way, people don't have to be tortured on killed in the name of atheism in order for their deaths to be chalked up to atheism.

My main point, as I've said before, is that in an atheist state the leader is seen as God.   So it becomes rather difficult to contradict him.   Since he is infallible, every decision he makes is seen as coming from the God-figure.   So in every misjudgment he makes--whether he intended it to cause death or not-- which results in deaths, those deaths are directly traceable to the fact that he heads an atheist state.

See for instance Mao and the sparrows.

And I am still waiting for the charitable orders, hospitals, books saved for posterity--and music produced by atheists.

Seems like it may be a long wait.
