"Well, if religion is responsible for negative consequences, then religion deserves the blame. That's only fair.

"I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord." -- Adolf Hitler"

Do you think for one second that Hitler followed any doctrine of the Bible? Has this man not lied enough that you believe he would embrace a religion that clearly condradicts everything he did?

"And the communists were only trying to replace traditional religion with their own quasi-religion, one praising the state and the Party rather than any gods."

It used to be VERY dangerous for Christian missionairies in Russia under the reign of Communism. Infact people had to do it in secret meetings, and the Bible wasn't allowed in the country.

"Look at the Catholics spreading AIDS around Africa by discouraging safe sex. If atheism is to blame for those things you say it is, then be fair and admit that Christianity is to blame for far worse."

This clearly shows a gap in logical judement. How could you blame the Catholic religion (a branch I am not part of btw) for the situation in Africa, when there are ssoooo many christian/catholic donations/charities/help groups there. FAR more than any nato, non-religous group, or group by another religion, and that's fact. I'm really not trying to say "LOOK WHAT WE DID" but I just mean dude...so needless to say the catholic church is NOT the cause of massive Aids epidemics in Africa
