Which is exactly how Nazism started... a man with a mission to blame religion for Germany's issues... and killing the Jews to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Now granted, I don't think you've said we should kill off Christians, rather that we should just kill the religion. You've been very good at painting every Christian with the exact same brush and blame them for corrupting the children of this world. I'm fairly certain however that the pregnant 14 year old babies raising babies aren't Christian, and they're doing a damn fine job of corrupting today's youth without the aid of religion.
So what if I want to believe in Jesus and that he died for my sins? So what if I'd like my children to believe in it too and that involves Sunday school and singing about Noah's Arky Arky... At least I'm spending time with them and loving them and giving them morals. There are bigger issues in the world that you would be better off trying to fix. But no, you'd rather blame all the world's evils on religion. Cause I'm sure that every 14 year old girl who ever got herself addicted to drugs and knocked up was raised by a couple of Fundamental Christians who just wouldn't give up teaching her "the way, the truth and the light." I'm sure that the gangs in Calgary are the result of religious wars and have nothing at all to do with teaching our kids hatred. I'm sure that the biker killings in Ontario are the result of one group of Bikers "seeing the light" and hearing a voice that told them to kill the others.
Yeah that's it. It's religion's fault.

In the other link on Conservative donations I posted this link with this blurb...
..independent scholar Gregory S. Paul found an inverse correlation between religiosity (measured by belief in God, biblical literalism, and frequency of prayer and service attendance) and societal health (measured by rates of homicide, childhood mortality, life expectancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and teen abortions and pregnancies) in 18 developed democracies. "In general, higher rates of belief in and worship of a creator correlate with higher rates of homicide, juvenile and early adult mortality, STD [sexually transmitted disease] infection rates, teen pregnancy, and abortion in the prosperous democracies..
So I assume the religious are doing a good enough job corrupting their own children?
Now please dont suggest Im anything akin to a homicidal maniac, because as an Atheist I see nothing positive from a Christian perspective...that is simply just another case of fear mongering that sits so well in the laps of the holy.
Again...I dont give a hoot if you believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster...go ahead and kill yourself sucking on those long strands of pasta...simply leave the kids out of it until they are wise enough to make their own decision without bias.
Oh and one other thing...I dont blame religions for all of the worlds problems...but hey they cause enough issues that to simply turn my back and have a blind eye just doesnt cut it.
