i got up today to listen to the shocking news that russia’s ambassador to turkey was assassinated at an ankara art exhibit, and assassin was acting in the name of god.. it seems things have evolved to the other extreme that atheists are doing the work of religionists and vice versa.
while religionists take delight in killing fellow humans in the name of god, there were many atheists who followed very elevated morality.
the french existentialists and writers jean-paul sartre and albert camus were some of them.
I think you read my words with just a surface reading, because as a Jew I support atheism.
No, I wasn't questioning whether you support it. I was simply pointing out that you are factually incorrect in your comments.
The point I was making is that neither a claim to atheism or religion prevents violence done in their names.
And my point was is that you presented factually incorrect evidence for your claim. Please don't let a poor understanding of history and facts cause you to make a mistake.

Let Buddha’s silence mean whatever, it has nothing to do with my subject. I was just contrasting two groups.
Let's do that. Moving on, why do you think Sophocles rejected the gods? Same question with Diogenes, there is ample evidence they did not.
A person who does not believe in God has no obligation to care for anyone whereas a person who believes in God feels obliged to care for others.
Why?
In this context one can ask: How can atheists care for others whereas religionists go in opposite direction?
Many religious people are quite caring and giving and many atheists are not. Religion nor a lack of it makes people neither good nor bad.

Have you ever asked any Buddhist: "who is your God?" [I have asked as I have worked in a Buddhist country]
Irrelevant. You said that someone was taking Jesus words and assigning meaning, not Jesus' followers words.
You did exactly the same thing, take Buddha's lack of words and assign meaning. Similarly, asking what his followers later think is just as pointless.
Try again.

Atheists have just as bloody and monstrous a record of violating human rights and slaughtering innocents in the name of their views as people of religion do. Whether it is North Korea where religion has been totally outlawed, the People's Republic of China where freedom of religion is guaranteed as long as you freely practice according to that government's strict guidelines (or else face persecution, imprisonment, and sometimes forced conversion to the religion of China's choice) or the inhuman treatment of the various communist regimes that ruled under atheism with a iron but very blood fist, people with no religion are just as capable of decapitating, gutting, and denying what they do to humans as people who claim to believe in God can.
Well, that's pure BS. Those were attempts to have no authority higher than the state, not doing things in the name of atheism or because of a desire to say "don't believe in god. Also, religion isn't outlawed in North Korea or China.
Next?

“as it were, “in the Kingdom of the heavens” is your belief rather your interpretation—taking Jesus words and giving your meaning to it.
How is that any different than you deciding what Buddha's silence means?
No, Bible prophecy is a myth.
this site is absolutely hilarious!

i have been thinking about how the wtb&t society bullies all of its members into submission with the threats they use (by practice), i.e.
“if you do this we will df you and you will be shunned”.
“if you da yourself, we will make an announcement and your friends, relatives and family will abandon you”, etc.
True dat, but the corollary is that you have to show which statutes of the law were broken.

Yeah, that won't work.
