Subject: RE: BS: The God Delusion 2010
OK McGrath ~~ I will substitute the word 'evasive', which I would happily address directly [as I would, in any case, what I said last time with my 'either...or... formulation ~ but you appeared to find this offensive for some reason]. I reiterate the following, which I posted yesterday 0114 am, in response to R Davies, which he has not seen fit to reply to, but just gone on asserting his idiocies [as I perceive them] about religion being entirely benign & atheism totally malignant ~~

>>"atheism has in fact been a total disaster for mankind. Religion has not. And I have given exact examples." [R Davies]

& you have had some pretty exact examples back of where it HAS, for all your "has not" ~~ like the Crusades, the Inquisition, the St Bartholmew's Day Massacre, the Holocaust, the concept of jihad leading to current militant Islamism, &c &c &c: but in typically fair-minded 'religious' fashion you have elected to ignore those bits.<<

These seem to me valid points. So, if he is not being evasive, how about an answer.
