Dismantling A Straw-man (Part 2)

As the straw-man continues, the angry theist is now talking about Pol-Pot, Stalin, Mao - obviously, communists leaders. 

OK, so these are communists’ leaders and they are guilty of committing such atrocities to mankind. Pol-Pot's Khmer Rouge for example has killed millions of people in Cambodia in the 70's but, did he and his fanatics made those killings in the name of atheism? No it's not. It's all about Pol Pot's efforts to bring about swift, total change to Cambodia. Pol Pot's “Democratic Kampuchea,” forced deurbanization and abandonment of learning and technology by using combined economic transformation on an apocalyptic scale and mass-scale forms of social engineering to create what he called as "Year Zero." This is the cause of those "Killing Fields" and not about atheism. 

Stalin viewed the churches and their leaders as political rivals that had to be neutralized for it to succeed in its goals. Other centers of power and possible resistance, such as trade unions, the press, and even the army, were also attacked.

Mao's regime caused death in enormous numbers through the use of purges and labor camps, as part of an unrelenting campaign to repress all opposition, programs of forced collectivization and urbanization; and atrocious mismanagement of China's largely agricultural economy that led to tens of millions of deaths by famine in the late 1950s and early 1960s—the time of the disastrously planned “Great Leap Forward.”

These are economic, political, and social issues, not atheism.

Now it's all about vinegar.

The angry theist is talking about "pure" and "impure" atheists. According to him, a pure atheist mind is dystopian because he denies the beauty of his god's creation by pointing to transient anomalies and suppressing the arguments for absolute justice. In other words, an atheist is considered pure if he doesn't believe his twaddle.

WOW!

Did the angry theist answer the atheist question? No he did not. All he did was to wag his busted tail and lick his wounds. To refute atheism, all you have to do is to prove objectively and empirically that your god exists. So what's the best thing to do if you cannot refute? Create a straw-man, beat it with a stick and claim to have answered the issue.

Until next time.
