Comment on [Nigeria] Christmas Massacre: 160 Nigerians Killed by Jihadists in Strong Christian Community

“Nigeria led the world in Christians killed for their faith in 2022, with 5,014, according to Open Doors’ 2023 World Watch List (WWL) report,” according to the Christian Post.
This reinforces why many of the more ardent atheists believe religion generally is the greatest force of evil in the world.
Meanwhile, an exceptionally zealous slice of Christians in the U.S. think
world conquest passes as a struggle for “religious freedom” and opposition to it as “persecution.”
That just so happens to also reinforce that Christianity specifically is perhaps most relevant evil.

All Christians? Absolutely not.
Murderous Muslims? Absolutely.
Overzealous Christians that believe in Dominionism? Also absolutely.

Well said. They’re both responsible for innumerable horrors.

South Park did a wonderful episode on the atheist having a war over atheism. If an atheist is anti-religion; to me they’re not an atheist. They’re just anti-religion. I don’t dislike religion at all. I just don’t believe in god. Nothing screams little dick energy more than attacking something you claim not to believe in

Well, being absolutely certain there is no god is going to far for me.
But criticizing and strongly opposing religious beliefs because they have influence in our lives seems reasonable to me. Opposition to Christianity makes far more sense to me generally than opposition to Islam, because the former has people trying to Biblically define when life is conceived and impose that particular definition on everyone; the latter are half a world a way.
I mean…we spend a lot of time attacking different political ideologies we both claim not to believe in…so…I guess you can be Li’l Johnson, and I’ll just be Johnson Jr.

Even Dawkins will not say he’s absolutely certain there is no god. I would never say that either. I have a concept of god but it’s more the concept of everything is god. Islam isn’t a world away. It’s here in this country. I’m not opposed to either religions. I just don’t want laws based on their sky god. There is a different in disagreeing with a different view of the world and attacking a religion because little dick energy. I disagree with communism but I don’t deny it’s real. I just think it’s harmful to society. I can admit it’s a utopian society which is why it fails so quickly. The atheist that attack religion do it out of spite. Otherwise they wouldn’t care what others do. It’s wildly insecure.

Do you think the Church of Satan is full of a bunch of insecure people?
