Or you might be a reasonable person who finds extreme pacifism deeply immoral. Violence is the solution to evil in many, many cases, and a world run by Quakers would soon be in the hands of the worst dictators one could imagine.

Howie Felterbush You'll notice that the worst atrocities of recent history were all committed by atheists.

@babablacksheep3950 For example? The Khmer Rouge. Mao Tse-Tung and the CCP. The Bolsheviks. The Nazis.

@mirjanbouma The communists and Nazis come immediately to mind

@mirjanbouma Yeah, only the most recent mass atrocities, which are still ongoing in places like North Korea.

@johnroberts8233 Cool crackpipe, bruh. Conspiracy theories make you look stupid.

@mirjanbouma They are committed atheists who take cults of personality to absurd levels even by communist standards.

@mirjanbouma That's a non-sequitur. Atheism is inherently dangerous as it is inherently nihilistic. People who believe in nothing have no moral backstop. There is no reason not to commit atrocities.

@mirjanbouma Atheism is the belief that there is no God. It is an inherently nihilistic belief, that necessarily implies that there is no meaning to life, and nothing larger than ourselves. And without meaning, without something larger than ourselves, we have no moral backstop, no reason not to be horrible. It is true that any religion you can find can be twisted into a rationale for being horrible, and that Islam specifically is synonymous with atrocity. But religion is also responsible for so much of the good in the world, for charity and resistance to evil and love for our fellow man. Atheism, on the other hand, offers us none of the positives of religion, and with the negatives amplified horribly.

The Quakers are a deeply immoral group who, ironically, have given the world one good thing: Captain Samuel Nicholas, the founder and first Commandant of the United States Marine Corps, was a Quaker. I hope that sticks in their craw quite hard that the world's finest military force was founded by a member of their ridiculous pacifist group. Pacifism is immoral, full stop. Violence is often the best (and only) answer to evil, and those who refuse to do violence under any circumstance are foreclosed from being good people. If you are a practicing Quaker, you are a moral midget.
