You are an offensive idiot.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: None Are Righteous..And Some Apologize
Hitler said he modeled the holocaust on the Catholic Inquisition.
Source please.
It is also known that he made use of eugenics as he understood it from Darwinism (as did Margaret Sanger)
I do not know that that is known. How do you know it?

Re: None Are Righteous..And Some Apologize
I do agree that the works of Darwin were used to justify the eugenics movement, but Darwin was not responsible for that. Putting eugenics at the feet of Darwin is the same as pointing the idea of social darwinism at him. He is not responsible for the bastardizations of his writings. Even if Darwin supported Eugenics, it is not part of his theory

Re: Eugenics and Darwin
Darwin may not have envisioned such a consequences of his theory but it's not hard to make the connections. In fact it's a lot harder to ignore them.
Using your line of reasoning Boeing is responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

Re: reality wins every time
You seem to agree with the group of scholars who accuse the religion of undergoing change, which to me simply means that you are biased.
Are you actually claiming religion doesn't change? Are you claiming Christianity hasn't changed?

Re: The New Atheists and their defense of scientism.
None of these people speak for me. I am not a proponent of New Atheism, which as a movement is dead.
Atheist are not a monolithic group. Atheism is nothing like religion. It is a non belief in a deity. Nothing more.
