Ha. I'd just like to point out that use about one down voat a month so who ever is down voating you. It's not me.

I think I've thought this through pretty well. Society is better when it's more religious. The people are happier and the crimes are much less extreme. In fact, one of the reasons the West has flourished is because of Christianity.

Atheism is responsible for the mass murders of communism. It has killed more people than anything else. What more thinking do I have to do? How do you justify the poor track record of Atheism where crimes against humanity are concerned?

You have to think clearly about cosmological, ontological, teleological, and mereological arguments.

It's not my job to justify atheism's poor track record where crimes against humanity are concerned. I can GRANT that atheism has done such and such, or will lead to such and such. NONE of that weighs AT ALL on the truth of theological propositions. As I've explained again and again, which you refuse to listen to: THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRUTH AND UTILITY!!

Something can be FALSE and have GREAT EFFECTS!!

Something can be TRUE and have TERRIBLE EFFECTS!!

You can't weigh the truth of something by its consequences!! Get that through your head!!
