Do you have a good English dictionary? Does it have the word “system” in it? OK, good. Now, please explain (again, all a surprise to me) what components work together to furnish atheist belief.

I honestly thought all along atheism was a single position on a single claim, not an array of items working together.

As for the “atheistic” dictators, please draw the causal connection of how the atrocities were committed in the name of no-god. I would be fascinated to see a demonstration of how a lack of belief in something is the inspiration for taking any particular action.

Maybe I’ve been going about my atheism all wrong. Or maybe you are building a straw man because you have no idea WTF you are talking about?

BTW 2 points:
1. I love this comic strip which is arguably not that offensive and satisfies both of the above.
2. Lets face it, some Atheists have used their belief system to rationalize horrible acts just as religious people have. Consider China’s Cultural Revolution, which now even the Chinese consider to have been a bad idea.

(Some religious people would argue that explicitly atheist dictators have done more damage than explicitly religious ones, but I think that it’s all pretty subjective, especially seeing the comparative sizes of populations involved. Also there’s borderline cases like Saddam and Hitler who mostly just used religion without really following it).

Brian Flemming’s site is selling it for $25 here.

I bought it for $6.66 a while ago during an earlier promotion of his. It’s a great documentary.

But I was going to use the camera to videotape myself doing backflips to get chicks.

Once I learn how to do them.

Don’t feel sorry, he’s in a better place now.
