The Holocaust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By this definition, the total number of Holocaust victims would be between 11 million and 17 million people.[7]

MURDER BY COMMUNISM
With this understood, the Soviet Union appears the greatest megamurderer of all, apparently killing near 61,000,000 people. Stalin himself is responsible for almost 43,000,000 of these. Most of the deaths, perhaps around 39,000,000 are due to lethal forced labor in gulag and transit thereto. Communist China up to 1987, but mainly from 1949 through the cultural revolution, which alone may have seen over 1,000,000 murdered, is the second worst megamurderer. Then there are the lesser megamurderers, such as North Korea and Tito's Yugoslavia.

In sum the communist probably have murdered something like 110,000,000, or near two-thirds of all those killed by all governments, quasi-governments, and guerrillas from 1900 to 1987. Of course, the world total itself it shocking. It is several times the 38,000,000 battle-dead that have been killed in all this century's international and domestic wars. Yet the probable number of murders by the Soviet Union alone--one communist country-- well surpasses this cost of war. And those murders of communist China almost equal it.



I checked link after link after link trying to get a grand total of people killed in the name of god, and found nothing on any athiest or purely scientific site. There were some totals on sites I thought were faith based.

Any way, After doing some checking, the claim that more people have died for religion is a totally and absolutely blatant lie.

Unless you can post a link that shows a total.

It's a number that can't be known because of the destruction wrought on the record keeping of pretty much every family except Western 'Civilization'.

Not a chance!

Communism has socialism beat hands down.

HItler was socialisms only mass murderer.
Communism had
Pol pot
Stalin
The Kim Jung family
And the #1 killer of all time; Mao. His know kills are more than the rest combined, and his romored kills is ~ 15 million more.

But hey, goons think people with swords did more in the ME than Mao did in China. It's comical ignorance really.

Hitler was a christian TT and socialism is not a religion.

Did you ever see video of how people reacted to him as he walked down the street or gave speeches?

Hitler was also a pagan.

Sorry all, your assumption that god is responsible for more murder than anything esle is just that, an assumption.

Find me one single link that tops any of the big mass killers of the 20th centurary. And please go back to the first day of the bible. B/c communism and socialism are in the hundreds of millions.

To say that God is 'responsible for murder' is like saying Santa Clause is responsible for smiles at Christmas time.

The responsibility for both the cruelty and the joy of our history lay solely at the feet of humanity.

I'll take a ball park figure, as long as it's based on some facts.

Right now it's a factless accusation.

 

[AVG-JOE]

Anyone got a link backing up the claim that religion is the number 1 killer?

Communism is at 110 million and that idea isn't 200 years old.

And I'm talking religion, not just Jews - Christians, you can toss in Islam, paganism etc, etc,..

It's a number that can never be known or published unless Judeo-Christianity or Islam is someday proven true - and even then, only an estimate could ever be had, there's been too much destruction of the planets other religious records for an accurate count of murders in the name of a God.

Then it seems that you would agree with me that the claim that more killing has been done in the name of god, is utter bs. It is a fact free accusation.

Keep in mind, I'm going back less than 100 years, while giving those that make this claim, all of recorded history and all faiths.

If it is a number that can't be known, it must imagined. You seem like a smart guy... use your imagination.

If you use your mind and search your heart and still believe that '-ism' takes the murder quantity prize over The Soldiers of (insert your preferred Deity here), then by all means, keep the faith, Baby.

No one will ever be able to prove you wrong, just like no one will ever be able to prove they serve The Creator and not themselves.

I don't have faith in any religion.

None, not one.

I'd be willing to bet that all wars have been for one reason and one reason only.

Power

Power by having more than the next person.

The Americas got "invaded" for "Gold, Glory and God". In that order. Gold is money and money is power. We both know famous people can get away with damn near anything. God, was just some preacher that came with the gold and glory seekers.

Sorry, today is the day I want people to back up the claim that religion brings more death than anything else.

Honestly Dude, I don't give a flying fuck.

Using MY imagination, I believe that if CSI 'Vegas, Miami and NY were to collaborate on the investigation and boil it down to it's rudimentary causes, they'd prove that more of our brothers and sisters have been killed over the control of the resources that Mom* gives us to share than any other reason. Religion and Governments are simply tools used to organize the troops.

[Avatar4321]

religion is the single most destructive force in the history of the world

Really? Because it seems socialism in it's various forms has been more destructive in one century than religion has ever been throughout all human history.

Wow, you're particularly ignorant. I don't mean to be offensive, but read a bit of history.

Name the religion that has killed hundreds of millions of people.

Communism is a form of socialism...

 

[AmericanFirst]

1) Islam (all forms)
2) Catholicism
3) Scientology (I sorta put this in here, even though I honestly don't think it is a religion)

1. Islam is not even good.
2. Catholicism is a denomination not a religion
3. Scientology is a cult.

 

[AmericanFirst]

All of them.


Or are you asking for the worst of the worst of the worst?

I disagree. Buddhism seems a pretty harmless religion...Don't get many protesting Shinto worshipers either or Taoists for that matter. Don't get me wrong, I've seen incidents where Buddhist monks have gone batshit, but generally they seem pretty mellow.

But I did mean the worst of the worst. Looking at mainstream generally - not your David Koresh or Jim Jones cult of personalities...

Buddhism, hinduism, taoism, shintao, are all cults not religions.

My mother gets so pissed when i tell her that. It is an affront to her religion

 

[AmericanFirst]

I thought you were asking about religions. What you have listed are cults.

Cult, religion.


What's the difference?

Only difference is in number of followers.
All religions started as cults.

Jesus was a cult leader had 12 main followers.
The religion loosely based on him did not start till after his death.

Jesus is not a cult leader idiot. People who refuse the truths in the Bible claim that, it will be their condemnation.

 

[AmericanFirst]

History makes it clear that Xtianity is the most vile religion. No other religion has killed and raped as much as the xtians have

You are an idiot on so many levels, and you are wrong. Christianity is the only true Religion because it follows the only true savior. The vile religion is every other cult other than Christianity and Judaism, period.

 

[Woyzeck]

The worst religions? The organized ones, of course.

Is there no way for me to be saved?

Those who do know me will be the first to tell you that if God IS what The Bible describes Him to be, there's a special place in hell for this average Joe. Until proven to me at my death, I will have to be content with my opinions and living the charmed life I've been blessed with.
