I chatted with an Egyptian atheist on FB. I have compassion for him. He does not dare come out of the atheist closet. His best friend came out atheist - told his relatives, friends and colleagues that he is atheist, and put his atheist views on FB. A group of bullies went to his house, kicked in the door, dragged him outside and beat him to death ... and here I think we got it bad in USA. We got our problems, but nothing quite like that, at least not very often.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.That's heartbreaking. I just can't comprehend why humans kill each other over something like beliefs.

I'm sure that many fantastical Christians would do the same here if they could

It was only about five years ago that a Pagan shop in Whitby was smashed and burned by a rampaging mob of Catholics after a fire and brimstone Sunday sermon from the "Father" on how allowing such demonology in to the quiet seaside town was corrupting their children irreparably.
This is Whitby a town who's major claim to fame is the local abbey, know across the world as Dracula's castle
It's both sad and disturbing how some people are able to use religion to justify that kind of action.

It is, and always has been, the religious MO
I've ''met'' many on different sites who live in secret because of the danger of being beaten or killed. Ain't religion grand!

Posted by CliffordCookChristian Nationalists like to insist that the United States of America is a Christian nation. What do the facts show?
Posted by KilltheskyfairyI know where we can get some really big rocks…
Posted by CliffordCookIf the Christian Bible is such a great book, how come most Christians can’t bring themselves to read it all the way through even once?
Posted by CliffordCookIf Christians really believe in a god that is all powerful and will provide for all their needs, why do they keep on demanding taxpayer support for their struggling religious schools?
Posted by CliffordCookI groaned when I saw this Christian Nationalist Christmas meme posted by one of Donald Trump's supporters in Iowa. Then, I smiled when I saw how many of his Facebook friends had reposted it.
