The religion of peace?

@metalman,

Yes Isis burn people. Look up spectacular lynching and you'll find out that Christians did the same thing here in the US.

You are assuming the animal rights are atheists. I don't know their make up. Though most of these are not killing people. Compared to 20% of reproductive clinics terrorized by Christians in the USA, includes Drs and nurses killed.

Not true. While an atheist nihilist would be sociopathic, religious sociopaths exist as well.

It is thought 15-25%of the prison population are sociopathic. At the same time atheists make up less than 1% of prisoners. So there are more than a few Christian sociopaths in prison.

There are lots of prisoners who become "Christians" after they are jailed, to look good for the parole board

a "Christian sociopath" is an oxymoron

Christianity is about having empathy for your fellow man, a sociopath has no empathy

Of course that's why Christians killed non-Christians who refused to convert to their ways, so much empathy.

That is the same excuse muslisms give about their sociopaths/terrorists.

no true Scotsman right?

You have something relevant to today ?? Much has changed since the 17th century.
The 30 years war was more about the Franco-Hapsburg political rivalry than religion

a atheist nihilist would say that killing someone, for whatever reason, is not inherently right or wrong.

Of course, Christians have a much longer history than what the 30 year war covers. Christians started fairly early about 315AD pagan temples and peoples were attacked and destroyed and up through today.

If you want something more modern? I'm sure you remember Ireland's Catholics v Protestant was only a couple of decades ago where Xtians killed each other because they were the wrong flavor of Xtian. Nagaland in India killing over 900 Kukis causing over 100K to flee? Rwanda massacres. Okay 199x's So newer? How about Uganda who declared the 10 Commandments as their law. (2005ish) Or the Anti-Balakas that declared they'd be killing every Muslim in the land they control. After multiple atrocities and massacres (aka genocide) thousands of Muslims fled. (Hopefully 2014 was new enough for you.)

And yes an Atheist nihilist would say that. That sort of extremism is fairly rare compared to the religious extremists who declare their SkyDaddy gives them the inherent right, if not duty, to kill. There's even more of the lighter flavor of extremists who demand exemptions for the US Gov laws because their SkyDaddy's book has the 'can't touch this' override power. In short - your tu quoque assertion is closer to a false comparative than it is to reality.

@metalman,

Be careful of believing what the controllers of your religion tell you. Many churches tell their followers that only through God can there be meaning. Therefore with the absence of God there can be nothing but 'atheistic nihilism'. The truth is most atheists find meaning and purpose in life.

Flashing back to your comments - " a "Christian sociopath" is an oxymoron". 'Christian sociopath' isn't an oxymoron. The use of 'sociopath' in that phrase is reiterative.

If the only reason someone is acting morally and engaging self control is because their Christian rules force them to do so out of threats of violence (hell) or desirable bribes (heaven) then that individual doesn't truly have 'self-control'. What the Christian Church does doesn't provide true self-control they provide obedience to an authority figure. What the church tells us is we're all sociopaths which is why we need to learn their morals (man has fallen since the time of Adam) and must obey God's rules (here is your guide to morals and self-control). If you follow the Christian God's way and successfully reign in that sociopath then you'll avoid the stick and get a carrot. Christian Churches sell you their product by telling you that you're a sociopath that's why you need them.
 
ISIS wants us to think they're in a Holy War. Fox News wants us to think it's time to go into a Holy War.
