  1.  @LadyRenegade77  Indeed. Most self-described "atheists" today are actually misotheists (aka god-haters).

  2. Not all god haters are Satanists. Many are existential nihilists and misotheists.

  3. @H N The biggest problem I see with abortion is that it is racist. When according to the CDC, 36.4% of abortions are performed on black women (blacks are 11% of the US population) and 24.6% are on hispanic women, we have serious issues. There is a word for such over-representation in Abortions: closet genocide, which is exactly what Margaret Sanger wanted with her positions in support of Eugenics. And then among the whites getting abortions, Jews are greatly over-represented.

  4. He is a misotheist.

  5.  RAGman  "Now I regard it as a collective work of historical fiction literature." So Cyrus the Great was not a real person, much less a King of Persia? Nebuchadnezzar didn't actually conquer Jerusalem? Apries, Necho II, and Taharqa were not Pharaohs of Egypt? Cesar Augustus was not actually an Emperor of Rome? And Pontius Pilate was not a Roman Governor? That is where you lose credibility. You cannot refute parts of the Bible and the Torah that are confirmed by externa sources. Add to that, the Nag Hamadi, Dead Sea Scrolls, and several other texts found buried in the deserts clearly show that very little has changed in over 2 thousand years. That is why likewise I cannot discount out of hand the Texts and Sutras of Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoharastrism, and many other Eastern faiths. There IS secular historical value in all of them. Hell, when the Epic of Gilgamesh was found and reassembled, it was considered a significant historical piece of work, giving insight into ancient near-east culture. While I don't expect you to believe in the same deity as I do, I find your contempt for religious texts of any kind to be deeply disturbing, and evidence of at best existential nihilism and more likely misotheism.

  6.  RAGman  Yeah, again burden of proof is on you to make the case it is fiction. Your problem is that you cannot differentiate parable from historical documentation. In most religious texts across the world, historical documentation is written differently than parables are. Both context and style of the writing is how you tell the difference. But existential nihilists and cultural Marxists like you conflate them all in your misguided attempt to destroy that which you cannot understand. "The worst readers behave like plundering troops, they carry off the few things they can use, dirty and confound the rest, and revile the whole," -Fredrich Nietzsche.

  7.  RAGman  You don't understand how burden of proof works. And when it comes to historic documents, typically they are treated as factual unless there is outstanding reason to think they are not. Legends are told by the ancients as if they are fact, not fabrication because as far as they are concerned, they were actual events. The idea of "historical fiction" is a modern concept that really has only existed as recently as the Renaissance. Again, you show a distinct lack of understanding and instead display myopia and bigotry. But then I expect that from people who employ anachronistic views of history and tries to judge the past based on today's standards rather than on their own merits.

  8.  RAGman  And again with the anachronistic logical fallacies. Sure, ignore the preponderance of archaeological evidence. You are moving the goal posts.

  9. I love your reference to the Bolshevick split between Joe Stalin and Leon.

  10. I agree with your characterization of Maher. He is very much a misotheist.

  11. Indeed. Militant atheism (aka misotheism) is a religion unto itself.

  12.  @directeducation2890  That would be existential nihilism you described. Misotheism is hate for a deity.

  13. @H N Why are minorities over-represented in abortions? That is not a choice. If it turely was, then abortion statistics would be a cross section of US society. It is not. You are rationalizing Margaret Sanger's Eugenics.

  14. @H N There is NOTHING simple about abortion. You are being dishonest. Coercion comes in many forms. Just ask Steven Tyler's former fiancé.
