Too bad it is difficult for some to understand everyone is an atheist. Even TBD, who disrespects Magog by all his Bible-waving, for example: Abrahamic nonsense mythology for the clueless or wanton. Get-rich-quick schemes like Magog's are so much more down-to-Earth and practical. Given the many, many, many millions deaths at the hands of the followers of Abraham, anyone so professing is admitting to being bent on pure evil, bereft of the dimmest notion of morality.
Magog for the win. Down with murderous Middle-eastern monotheists. |

Once again, 'The Big Dog' is dodging his own issues.
As far as I know, here is a list of nations in the world which are officially atheist nations: China, and Vietnam. However, I have not found any nations which actually require its inhabitants to actually be atheists. |

Atheist are murderers.
Murderers are worse than pedophiles. Therefore, Catholics are better than atheist. But to be clear, that's not really where it is going, that is where it starts. Where it goes is really up to you. Also, pointing out unintentional dick jokes along the way is not very respectful to all the priest who didn't rape anyone and were just part of the cover-up. |

here is where this thread is going:
China is in the middle of a brutal due to Atheists policies promoted by Xi. Apologists desperate to derail the subject have brought up blatant whataboutism (the attacks on catholic priests just being the most common) and have accused people of pointing out the facts of hate speech and slander and more while repeating blatant propaganda. To sum up, our correspondents are much more concerned about posters highlighting the role the atheism is playing here (to the point of wishing actual physical harm on me) than the actual ongoing human rights abuses on going today in China. this is what I refer to as a dream thread, in that the "arguments" in opposition to my posts are so terrible, specious, offensive and ignorant, that I barely have to lift a finger to get the brutal pogrom apologists in the bottom of the hole drilling away as the hole gets deeper and fills with sewage. |

From what I know of China, their "god" is China. Mao was revered as a god, though I don't know if he was purported to have supernatural powers. Xi may be aiming for the same status. According to that ideology the Chinese would consider Christians to be the idolaters, for putting God over country. That's very threatening to the powers that be.
But the Christians will have the last laugh, if it turns out they're right about the rewards in heaven. Xi et al. will burn in hell forever. As will more than a billion other Chinese, including Muslims, Buddhist etc. That has to be some consolation, doesn't it? You're the one who highlighted it, Dog. Does it surprise you that some people here don't believe you post in good faith? That you framed the issue the way you did specifically to elicit this response? Well, it worked. Well done. |

Well, the pesky Chinese Marxists aren't even promoting Marxism, nor do they promote atheism. They are perverting both to promote Chinese nationalism. When they say that they're promoting Christianity, you don't believe them. Instead you claim that they're perverting it. However, when they say that they're Marxists and/or atheists, there isn't the slightest doubt in your mind that they're telling the truth. Why do you have so much faith in these guys?! (And I would still like to know: Now that I've shown you that when Karl Marx mentions the destruction of churches in Capital at all, he is usually referring to cases where kings, noblemen and capitalists robbed the Catholic Church in England in the name of Protestantism! Has that taught you anything at all? Has it made you change any of the ideas you had about the alleged Marxist Atheist Bible?!) |

Yes, now you're getting it! They not only weren't true Marxists, they weren't Marxists at all. Have you never encountered anybody in this world who claimed to be something that they turned out not to be?! I recommend that you read Capital. You only risk finding out what Marxism actually is. |

I have not read all ten pages of this thread. But I have spent time in China.
The state wants to control religion rather than destroy it. They view independent religion as a threat. State controlled religion is a tool for controlling the population. Those that are being persecuted are those that are not part of the state controlled churches. The real problem is not an atheist state. It is a state where there is no separation of church and state. http://catholicherald.co.uk/news/201...holic-church1/ |

Oh man, I see that the "skeptics" are baffled by what possibly could be the flaw(s) in the quoted post. The answer is of course is that not believing in Magog does not make you an atheist where one believes in the God of Abraham. Sorry that the question was so difficult.
I am sure that we will get posts stating that asking hard questions to atheists is "hate speech." |

Of course atheists are evil!
Without the guiding light of a book to set out morality, how can atheists be anything but evil? Nothing is sacred to atheists - human life is no more valuable than a rock. This is why Chinese atheists have no problem killing the faithful; religionistas are worth less than the rock to an atheist - the rock already doesn't believe in gods. If only atheists would give away their hard materialism and recognise the truth of the bible, they could give up their amoral lifestyles and do things approved by the bible, like: Having sex with your children. Killing non-believers' families, even unto the fourth generation. Killing an entire generation of babies in a fit of pique. Killing every child alive that wasn't bred by some Jewish bloke called Noah. And they'd have to give up their evil habits of shaving and eating crayfish. |

No you didn’t, I did not bother answering it because it has zero to do with the post.
You see, the post was about the actual human rights violations going on right now in China. My opinion regarding atheists in general is quite inconsequential. These atheists are clearly monsters. Don’t you agree? |

“In the name of atheism I condemn you to death”.
This thread has been a train wreck from the first post, and equally watchable. |

You've made it clear that you find the interrelationship between atheism and the actions of these persons significant. How can it have zero to do with the post, when it is the point you are stressing most? Why are you reluctant to just state your case, clearly and concisely?

Well, the second post for sure.
In the name of atheism I demand that you sign this paper renouncing your faith and if not I will put you and a million other Muslims in a detention camp, destroy your churches/mosques and burn your Books. Those are the facts at issue in this thread with this religious pogrom. The depth of denial in this thread from the vast majority of the atheists is surprising. |
