But thought police are invariably unhappy people because they
are unsure of themselves, and they know that they are fighting

If one loves the truth, they are not concerned about what others

What 'teachings of Jesus'? Most Jews have never read the NT or been to a church service.

We're all still atheists,  loser. In alt.atheism, Earl Weber (Duke) is a
complete and total 20 year failure.  You boast and you lie and you truly
know that you have achieved nothing.

Let us look at how Catholics and other Christians have shown the love.

http://www.truthbeknown.com/victims.htm
A small sample.
 Ancient Pagans

    As soon as Christianity was legal (315), more and more pagan temples were destroyed by Christian mob. Pagan priests were killed.
    Between 315 and 6th century thousands of pagan believers were slain.
    Examples of destroyed Temples: the Sanctuary of Aesculap in Aegaea, the Temple of Aphrodite in Golgatha, Aphaka in Lebanon, the Heliopolis.
    Christian priests such as Mark of Arethusa or Cyrill of Heliopolis were famous as "temple destroyer." [DA468]
    Pagan services became punishable by death in 356. [DA468]
    Christian Emperor Theodosius (408-450) even had children executed, because they had been playing with remains of pagan statues. [DA469]
    According to Christian chroniclers he "followed meticulously all Christian teachings..."
    In 6th century pagans were declared void of all rights.
    In the early fourth century the philosopher Sopatros was executed on demand of Christian authorities. [DA466]
    The world famous female philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria was torn to pieces with glass fragments by a hysterical Christian mob led by a Christian minister named Peter, in a church, in 415.
    [DO19-25]


    Emperor Karl (Charlemagne) in 782 had 4500 Saxons, unwilling to convert to Christianity, beheaded. [DO30]
    Peasants of Steding (Germany) unwilling to pay suffocating church taxes: between 5,000 and 11,000 men, women and children slain 5/27/1234 near Altenesch/Germany. [WW223]
    Battle of Belgrad 1456: 80,000 Turks slaughtered. [DO235]
    15th century Poland: 1019 churches and 17987 villages plundered by Knights of the Order. Victims unknown. [DO30]
    16th and 17th century Ireland. English troops "pacified and civilized" Ireland, where only Gaelic "wild Irish", "unreasonable beasts lived without any knowledge of God or good manners, in common of their goods, cattle, women, children and every other thing." One of the more successful soldiers, a certain Humphrey Gilbert, half-brother of Sir Walter Raleigh, ordered that "the heddes of all those (of what sort soever thei were) which were killed in the daie, should be cutte off from their bodies... and should bee laied on the ground by eche side of the waie", which effort to civilize the Irish indeed caused "greate terrour to the people when thei sawe the heddes of their dedde fathers, brothers, children, kinsfolke, and freinds on the grounde".
    Tens of thousands of Gaelic Irish fell victim to the carnage. [SH99, 225]
 Crusades (1095-1291)

    First Crusade: 1095 on command of pope Urban II. [WW11-41]
    Semlin/Hungary 6/24/96 thousands slain. Wieselburg/Hungary 6/12/96 thousands. [WW23]
    9/9/96-9/26/96 Nikaia, Xerigordon (then turkish), thousands respectively. [WW25-27]
    Until Jan 1098 a total of 40 capital cities and 200 castles conquered (number of slain unknown) [WW30]
    after 6/3/98 Antiochia (then turkish) conquered, between 10,000 and 60,000 slain. 6/28/98 100,000 Turks (incl. women & children) killed. [WW32-35]
    Here the Christians "did no other harm to the women found in [the enemy's] tents—save that they ran their lances through their bellies," according to Christian chronicler Fulcher of Chartres. [EC60]
    Marra (Maraat an-numan) 12/11/98 thousands killed. Because of the subsequent famine "the already stinking corpses of the enemies were eaten by the Christians" said chronicler Albert Aquensis. [WW36]
    Jerusalem conquered 7/15/1099 more than 60,000 victims (jewish, muslim, men, women, children). [WW37-40]
    (In the words of one witness: "there [in front of Solomon's temple] was such a carnage that our people were wading ankle-deep in the blood of our foes", and after that "happily and crying for joy our people marched to our Saviour's tomb, to honour it and to pay off our debt of gratitude")
    The Archbishop of Tyre, eye-witness, wrote: "It was impossible to look upon the vast numbers of the slain without horror; everywhere lay fragments of human bodies, and the very ground was covered with the blood of the slain. It was not alone the spectacle of headless bodies and mutilated limbs strewn in all directions that roused the horror of all who looked upon them. Still more dreadful was it to gaze upon the victors themselves, dripping with blood from head to foot, an ominous sight which brought terror to all who met them. It is reported that within the Temple enclosure alone about ten thousand infidels perished." [TG79]
    Christian chronicler Eckehard of Aura noted that "even the following summer in all of palestine the air was polluted by the stench of decomposition". One million victims of the first crusade alone. [WW41]
    Battle of Askalon, 8/12/1099. 200,000 heathens slaughtered "in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ". [WW45]
    Fourth crusade: 4/12/1204 Constantinople sacked, number of victims unknown, numerous thousands, many of them Christian. [WW141-148]
    Rest of Crusades in less detail: until the fall of Akkon 1291 probably 20 million victims (in the Holy land and Arab/Turkish areas alone). [WW224]

    Note: All figures according to contemporary (Christian) chroniclers.

Your religion is about death and the worship of it.

Hypatia was murdered during an episode of city-wide anger stemming from a feud
between Orestes, the prefect of Alexandria, and Cyril, the Bishop of Alexandria.

The Crusades evolved as a result of the hordes of muslims overrunning the Holy
Land and heading for S Europe.

In other words, you can't explain it any more clearly because you know 
it's a lie. Yes, you do lie in alt.atheism. Saying that you don't just 
makes you a double liar and rather silly.

Secret?  That superthug never hid _his__ lamp under a bushel.  Offing
the population of the world-8 was a pretty public event.

Not for long. There wasn't much public left.

A perfect world would simply be a world where there is no use of force.
Nobody forcing others to work.
Nobody forcing others to surrender their property.
No force neccessary to defend against force being initiated.
Nobody trying to force others to believe a certain way or dress a certain wat.
What evil exists that is not due to the use of force?

Simple respect might be another way to say it.  Respecting the fact that humans aren't made with cookie cutter sameness.
That we recognize that difference is the driving force of humanity.  That if were weren't different then all would be boring sameness.

The moment you throw force into the mix, every thing goes in the shutter.

If your father didn't force your mother to have sex with him.. you wouldn't have been born. And there wouldn't be so many ugly babies.


How about the force that keeps you on the ground?...


How about the force that keeps you from falling down through the floor?

A pretty normal one. One need not believe in God to understand that some actions are anti-human and anti-life.  Rape, murder burglary, extortion, and many other things are easily understood to be bad, with or without any gods.  before there was Judaism or Christianity there were still laws against such things.

Of course, if we followed the Christian teachings of Jesus we wouldn't be washing our hands to prevent disease because Jesus said not to.  There would be no laws against slavery or sexual abuse of children as was the case under the OT.

I think it's fair to say humanity would have been better off without religion given the bloody history of Christianity in particular.

I'm sorry, but your family traditions are not the same as mine.  No force involved.  Take your rape fantasies and keep them.

An end to religion.
