Why is the Irish Atheist so aggressive?

Logical Fallacy

I must say I am very disappointed in the responses here. I had always hoped that deep down people were good. Perhaps not, I will continue to pray though. There is plenty of evidence that prayer works.

Your disappointment exists due to the marriage of your assumption that people should change their stance on the subject of a deity simply because you wish them too and your inability to make this happen.

In effect what you are perceiving is a microcosmic world that you cannot influence in the way you want to influence the real world.

I imagine if you did less praying for answers and more seeking them you might have an easier time of dealing with things.

So disappointed that didn't reply or address any of the genuine responses you got to your assertions?

And then you wonder why people seem annoyed at you?

The first thing Indigenous Peoples share is the experience of
having been invaded by those who treated us without compassion
because they considered us to be less than human or even
nonhuman. Dehumanization leads to the second thing we as
Indigenous People share in common: being treated on the basis of
the belief that those who invaded our territories have a right of
lordship or dominance of our existence and, therefore, have the
right to take, grant, and dispose of our lands, territories, and
resources without our permission or consent.

The preliminary study of the Doctrine of Discovery focuses on
an argument that can be tracked back more than five hundred
years to the days of Western Christendom.5 It is an argument
stated in a number of tabled documents authorizing the discovery
and concept, and discovery and commerce.6
A Christian Monarch who locates or discovers non-Christian
lands and territories has the right to claim a superior and Doctrine of
Discovery states that non-Christian lands are considered to belong to
no one because no Christians are living there and no Christian monarch
or lord has yet claimed dominion.

...

A strong case can be made for the view that the critical
problems and human rights faced by Indigenous Peoples are all
traced to the Doctrine of Discovery. The recent state of the
world’s Indigenous Peoples issued by the Permanent Forum on
Indigenous Issues in January of 2010 pinpoints key indicators of
the critical conditions faced by Indigenous Peoples.

But of course, the question is where atheists get their morality from,
because as we all know Pol Pot's activities link directly to atheism.
Without christian morality to guide & restrict us it's clear we will just
commit genocide.

Still though, dear christian, I argue that Pol Pot's reading of the good book
of atheism was just a misinterpretation & that he is still an otherwise
"undoubtedly" "benevolent" atheist.
