Topic: Ever Wondered Why Atheists Seem to Be So Angry? | |
---|---|
I make it easy....
If someone claims a religious preference...I hold the entire lot accountable. If I claimed to be christian and screwed up...I would assume that it would reflect poorly on my fellow christians. A Buddhist is a Buddhist. A Moslem is as Moslem. A Jew is a Jew. A Christian will just b*tch about the rest. |

During World War II, the Allied powers made it clear that upon the conclusion of the war the perpetrators would be tried for war crimes. Several official declarations were made between 1942 and the close of the war. The most important of these was the London Agreement which was signed on August 8, 1945. At that conference the charter for the International Military Tribunal was drawn up and signed by the United States, Great Britain, France and the Soviet Union.
Following the trials at Nuremberg, numerous trials of war criminals were held in the British, French, American and Soviet sectors of Germany, on Austria, at Bergen-Belsen, Auschwitz (1947), in many other places where the crimes took place, in France, Italy and in Israel. Most of the trials subsequent to 1946 involved lower-ranking officials, camp guards, Einsatzgruppen officers, medical doctors, etc. Far more war criminals, however, were never brought to justice. |

Religious people act exactly like Star bellied "Sneetches"
Now the Star-bellied Sneetches had bellies with stars. The Plain-bellied Sneetches had none upon thars. The stars weren't so big; they were really quite small. You would think such a thing wouldn't matter at all. But because they had stars, all the Star-bellied Sneetches would brag, "We're the best kind of Sneetch on the beaches." |

I have always thought that people who are "angry at god" are silly. They need to be angry at who is REALLY to blame: humans. Mirror, atheists are not angry at God. There is no God to be angry at. |

Well, Im pretty much an atheist, and Im not angry. I just live my life a day at a time, and dont blame anybody but myself for my problems. But the plus side of that theory, is when i do something good, I know it comes from me :) No use in blaming something if may not even be there. But, I don't hold all the answers. Im just a human

I wouldn't define myself as an Atheist although because Im not a Christian, it seems that according to most Christians, I might as well be classified as an Atheist. I might be angry for that reason although I just like poking fun at them instead. Its endless fodder for material. Witch! Witch!

Project paperclip. They all were secretly brought in to America, changed their identities and got jobs with the government and the CIA. |

Is less about being classified as an Atheist than simply speaking out about the horrors that are perpetrated by any extremist, religious faction.I am sympathetic to the Atheists in many cases. sure but that would apply to extremists of any belief or non belief. you shouldn't generalize a whole belief system based on the actions of a extremist faction any more than I should blame all Japanese and all Germans for the actions of their militant militaries in the 40's So I have no right to blame Christian Germans and a Catholic Hitler for the atrocities perpetrated during WW2? I am also not an Atheist. I would say blame the ones who committed the atrocities but don't project that onto everyone that believes in god Well that would have been the Christians then. |

Hitler was a practicing Roman Catholic. so was Mother Theresa Funny you should mention her. Another Catholic "Saint" What should make Indians particularly indignant is Mother Teresas conduct, immediately after the Union Carbide disaster in 1984. She rushed to Bhopal, not to help the victims and their families but to appeal to them to forgive. Who should the victims forgive? Who else but the multinational Union Carbide and its chief Anderson. Her concern was not the fate of the victims but damage control in the face of the inevitable public anger against the perpetrators of the horrific disaster. The reason is obvious: the victims were poor, but Union Carbide and Anderson are rich. |
