And I don't think atheists are crazy for denying God, and either do you, though there are some crazy atheists out there.<BR/>I do think many of the Communist leaders were atheists in the plainest form: Do you believe in God?

Similar to Nazism, the communists instigated a personality cult, including strong symbolism, blind obedience and state institutions to reinforce that. It had all the hallmarks of a religion but without the Celestial Social Worker. Hitchens refers to them as "Deists".<BR/><BR/>That kind of instigation of unconditional reverence as a method of social control is very similar to what organised religions are used for (at least at their worst).<BR/><BR/>As an atheist I couldn't see myself having to worship someone like Hitler or Stalin.Gerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07752117708821629614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10199920.post-51184745483922392452007-11-16T12:09:00.000-05:002007-11-16T12:09:00.000-05:00Lex, if you are talking physical danger, I would s...Lex, if you are talking physical danger, I would say the Holocaust deniers are more dangerous, but the reality is they are now all voice and most of the planet believe they are loons.<BR/>YECs on the other hand still have an influence over government in the West because their numbers are so high (at least in the US). It is very dangerous for a YEC to be in power especially if they are a Rapurist...mainly because they have a chance to win. Also they are the ones pushing against gay rights, and evolution in the classroom.<BR/><BR/>Basiorana, the motives of a flat earther are not like the motives of a Holocaust denier. The motives to me makes the Holocaust denier more insane. The flat earther has been brainwashed that the bible is the only fact book you need, and anything contrary to it, is simply wrong. When a flat earther goes outside, he only sees a flat earth, and that is all he needs to satisfy him, and he isn't motivated by irrational hate just irrational teachings.<BR/><BR/>Jack, you should link that thread on your blog. You will do your audience a great service by doing so.<BR/><BR/>Allyson, do a "flat earth" search on Google.Baconeaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11134934827966299989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10199920.post-46344694550318448202007-11-16T11:46:00.000-05:002007-11-16T11:46:00.000-05:00Flat Earthers still exist?

Jews-controlling-the-world really appeals to conspiracy theorists, and half the time I wonder if they wouldn't reject ANYTHING as long as the government said it's true.<BR/><BR/>The thing about Flat Earthers is that the earth has been known to be curved, at least, since the <I>Egyptians</I> (Lost in the Dark Ages, but recovered in the Renaissance-- the whole "Everyone thought Columbus was gonna sail off the earth" story is a myth). Plus anyone can SEE the effect of the earth being spherical if they stand at the edge of the ocean, or climb up a high tower in a flat plain, pr ride in an airplane on a clear day...<BR/><BR/>I consider people who deny incredibly obvious evidence that is before their very eyes, evidence they were taught to be fact since they were children, to be worse than anything else on that list. It's a bit like denying that there is a physical difference between a white guy and a black guy.Basioranahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03735917076649770499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10199920.post-87581882211155589362007-11-16T04:28:00.000-05:002007-11-16T04:28:00.000-05:00I think there is a basic difference between Holoca...I think there is a basic difference between Holocaust Deniers and YEC's. Whereas the Holocaust deniers are motivated by hate to justify their beliefs the YEC's are just trying to fit facts into their belief system. Although both groups may be equally stupid or not, it is more important to identify which group has the potential to cause more harm and suffering and that is obviously the Holocaust Deniers. You can laugh at the YEC's but not at the Holocaust Deniers. <BR/>sLexcenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17856993035719777231noreply@blogger.com
