dedaisy,
Many times more people have been killed this century, by their own governments, than in all religious conflicts, ever. And this slaughter happened because of philosophies openly hostile to biblical Christianity, and flowing directly from evolutionary and atheistic belief.
Nazism and Eugenics openly proclaimed its dependence on Darwin. It was right and moral for the strongest race to survive; to have pity for the weak was to defy nature’s laws. It is doubtful whether this brutal ideology would have so captivated a nation that gave us Bach and Luther if not for embracing a random meaningless universe.
Communism also took evolution to its logical conclusion. If everything just evolved from ‘natural law’, then man’s opinion, not God’s, determines what is right and wrong. If the working class can take power by armed struggle, then this is ‘right’, regardless of how many must die to bring in the socialist paradise. Communism’s death toll far outranks the Nazis’ — probably more than 90 million worldwide.
Some have suggested that the bloodthirsty deeds of Stalin were an ‘aberration’ from the revolution’s ideals. However, it was Lenin, the ‘father’ of the Russian revolution, who ‘perfected the science of mass killings’, and total, merciless brutality as the ultimate method of political control. Militant evolution and atheism was the chief tools used to brainwash communism’s masses into ‘scientific atheism’. If everything just evolved, then everything is at the whim of the most powerful; and justly so if there is no Maker to whom to be answerable. Hence Stalin’s belief that killing millions of people was no worse than mowing your lawn.
Mao’s reign of terror and lies resulted in the deaths of tens of millions. It is no coincidence that his two favourite books were by the evolutionists Darwin and Huxley, one of Humanism's poster boys. With millions dying from his forced famine, his physician records that Mao said, ‘We have so many people we can afford to lose a few.’ His successors have since persecuted and killed hundreds of thousands more.
