Liberalism is your Fundamentalism

you all march like good soldiers to the same Liberal/commie/fascist ideology.

Worst of all - the various forms of atheist fundamentalism:

Communist atheists in only 80 years killed about 94 million! And the number of deaths caused by atheism is much higher. An atheist, Stalin, along with his fellow Christian-hater Hitler started the worst war in human history. And don't forget all the deaths caused by right wing atheists like Mussolini, who was in part inspired by another blood-thirsty atheist Nietzsche. And don't forget the Armenian genocide, committed by secular fanatics: the Young Turks.

Please also remember that the austere atheist philosophy has never attracted a large number of believers. Under 3% of the world population is atheist. So a small number of atheists are responsible for a tremendous amount of carnage. On a per capita basis atheists are by far the worst murderers in human history.

Many of the victims of atheist fundamentalism have been People of Color.

For example:

Religious fundamentalism could soon be treated as mental illness
By JohnThomas Didymus Jun 2, 2013 in Religion
Kathleen Taylor, a neurologist at Oxford University, said that recent developments suggest that we will soon be able to treat religious fundamentalism and other forms of ideological beliefs potentially harmful to society as a form of mental illness.


Extreme religious beliefs might one day be treated as a mental illness according to Kathleen Taylor, a research scientist at Oxford University’s Department of Physiology, Anatomy, and Genetics.

Taylor told the Hay Literary Festival in Wales that techniques are already in the works to eliminate “negative beliefs,” such as fundamentalist Islam, and Christianity

Links between “extreme faiths and mental health” have been made before. Former president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists Dr. Dinesh Bhugra said recent religious conversions are associated with a developing psychotic mental illness. He points to data from studies which show that patients with first onset psychosis are likely to change their religion.

Is Christianity a Mental Illness?

Here’s a letter from one of my readers… What do you think?

From: Craig Royce To: Frank Schaeffer Sent: Sat, Nov 1, 2014 10:36 pmSubject: Christianity As An Illness

Frank,

I just finished reading your article “Religious Trauma Syndrome” and it brought back memories of my jettisoning Christianity (some 30 years ago). I came to the conclusion then that Christianity was a mental illness. How could anyone in their right mind believe in something so utterly stupid as a god requiring a son to be crucified to pay the penalty of sin? This central concept of Christianity is so unnatural, so illogical, and so unreasonable.

That there is a god who has a son who is so perfect as to be by some stroke of luck the only one capable of paying off the penalty of sin is a concept so ludicrous that actually defies belief were it not for the belief of millions! Sin comes into the world and by some sequence of events there just happens to be a being (the son) who can only be the one that can do away with the penalty of sin (as mandated by this other being – his father and god). What diseased mind can believe this framework? Believe in it through something called “faith?”

Try explaining this concept to a child and see if that child understands intuitively, through common sense such an idea. Once you come to believe this idea, you do need a whole set of other mind busting concepts to support it. If the universe has this kind of god and this kind of son, it borders on the absurd. Has anyone ever seen a real father in a real family in the real world tell his children, “Because you kids are going to do wrong, I just happen to have this other child (which you have not seen) standing in the wings who I’m going to crucify on your behalf to pay for your misdeeds. And then you’re going to be so happy that I nailed him on your behalf that you’re going to love and adore him from then on.” In real life, if that happened to a family, the neighbors would think that family was nuts! And yet that is the essence of Christianity…

Has anyone ever psychologically investigated people who sing, “Oh the blood of Jesus…” What nutcase would create a song with those words and sing it in public?
