jakee 1,596 #102 December 22, 2011 QuoteCommunist governments have tended to crack down on religious entities. China in particular has been rather forceful. One can quibble about whether it's in the name of atheism or to destroy a corrupt church leaching off its parishoners, but it's a far charge there. I think you meant a far cry. Has it been done in the name of atheism?Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakee 1,596 #103 December 22, 2011 QuoteMeh, Atheist are a little more subtle, but since your knowledge of history apparently doesn't exceed 90 days I'll spare you the gory truth of Marxist-lenninism, anti-revisionism, whatever you wanna call it...It basically all depends on the abolition of religion. It depends on a lot of things. Are you claiming that communist societies are set up in the name of atheism? QuoteThen there is the Jim Jones method - Atheists hiding behind the guise of faith....probably the more practical option. So Jim Jones was a communist, may or may not have actually been religious, and did exactly what for the purpose of atheism?Do you want to have an ideagasm?

What do you think was the intended relevance of Coreece's mentions of Marxism-Leninism and Jim Jones in a discussion about things done in the name of atheism?Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Coreece 190 #111 December 23, 2011 QuoteSo Jim Jones...did exactly what for the purpose of atheism? FBI recordings have Jim Jones stating that "he took the church and used it to bring people to atheism." As I said, hiding behind the guise of faith is a very practical option for atheistic evangelism. If that doesn't work, you can become a commy leader, criminalize religion, imprison the clerics and declare your country as an "Atheistic State" like Hoxha. Now we both know that the actions of these douche bags don't necessarily reflect the ideology but rather the man. They don't define atheism anymore than the crusades define the tenants of biblical christianity...but of course none of that matters to bigots.Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

jakee 1,596 #112 December 24, 2011 QuoteFBI recordings have Jim Jones stating that "he took the church and used it to bring people to atheism." Actually it seems that he said that the Soviet Ambassador said that he'd taken the church and used it to lead people to atheism. I'm pretty sure Jim Jones was doing his thing in the name of communism. But whatever, you can have that one, it's what - 900 people? I guess it's a start but we've still got quite a way to go to catch up!Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
