Atheists have commited more atrocities than all theistic conflicts in the history of the world.Dracargen
wow. how about a little refreshing course on the millions killed.
THE CRUSADES
-The Crusaders commited numerous atrocities against Muslim populations: mass excecutions, throwing of the heads of Muslim over besieged cities, exhibition and mutilation of naked Muslim cadavers, or cannibalism as in the 1098 Siege of Maarat. They also executed thousands of civilians in all 3 crusades.
The HOLOCAUST
-The term generally used to describe the killing of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, as part of a program of deliberate extermination planned and executed by the National Socialist regime in Germany led by Adolf Hitler.
In 1209, Pope Innocent III launched an armed crusade against Albigenses Christians in southern France. When the besieged city of Beziers fell, soldiers reportedly asked their papal adviser how to distinguish the faithful from the infidel among the captives. He commanded: "Kill them all. God will know his own." Nearly 20,000 were slaughtered -- many first blinded, mutilated, dragged behind horses, or used for target practice.
Incans, Mayans, and Aztecs each executed tens of thousands of people each year to please the gods.
Islamic jihads (holy wars), mandated by the Koran, killed millions over 12 centuries.
