Richard S Russell's Profile
Richard S Russell Premium
A lefty (both senses) SF fan retired from a career in public service, currently living in Madison, Wisconsin, a state so wonderful people are willing to put up with the winters just to live here.
This is how Atheism always turns out: Rule of Man based on their arbitrary whims.
Arbitrary whims, eh? How ironic that you should say that after the long long long list of religions oppressing human beings before the Enlightenment came along and we started to throw off both the mental and physical shackles of mindless adherence to preposterous nonsense — often enforced by fire, stake, the rack, thumbscrews, exiles, wars, and jihads.
Remind me again, which atheist was it who said “Kill them all. For the Lord knows who are His” as justification for having his troops to massacre every single citizen of a city that had just surrendered to him?
