It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener at war.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

So are you positing that the Reason Rally was analogous to the Beer Hall Putsch?


Yes.


And is it your view that it's only a matter of time before atheists put you and your family on a train to a concentration camp?

If so, what would be the factual basis for your concern that this is where things are headed?

Would you be willing to speculate that the LDS Church would appease the atheists, as it appeased the Nazis?

Pretty big words for someone who didn't live it. I am sure there is a LOT more to your demon story than a mere "Sunstone" article. Certainly there are no motives from that group.

When do you predict that I and my fellows will be rounding you off and sending you to the gas chambers? I ask because I like to plan ahead and organize my calendar.

It will be more subtle like people losing their jobs or being silenced or harassed if they believe in the stupidity of religion.

I believe it will come down to Church burnings and other nonsense and I think there will be mild reactions, but hidden clapping.

Oh, so not like the Nazis at all then. More like how Christians have treated atheists in the past.

When do you anticipate that atheists will be powerful enough to accomplish this? Keep in mind we're an even smaller minority than Mormons.

Again I ask so I can plan my calendar of events.

How can that be? I thought you had declared them a religion.
when believers want to give their claims more weight, they dress these claims up in scientific terms. When believers want to belittle atheism or secular humanism, they call it a "religion". -Beastie
