Atheists destroy churches, attack the faithful

[BStrong]

Communist propaganda? Y'all want something from the Atheist Bible, or you want how the monsters actually act.

Wrong: "Communism begins from the outset with atheism."

K. Marx

Now I get it!

Atheism = Communism.

Gotcha.

Here's one that works too

Religon = child molestors.

Thanks Hans! man, what a sack of hypocrites those guys are, huh?

But the Constitution designates the Party to run the country under the tenets of marxist leninism, so, add two plus two and you end up with a pogrom just like the one that is going on right now in china, despite the "No
state organ, public organization or individual may compel citizens to believe in, or not to believe in, any religion"

That is in fact exactly what they are doing now, am I right?

No, you are not right. You made a claim about atheism being a requirement, and you were wrong.

Yes, the Chinese government is not happy with religions that may overshadow it's power. No government is.

Yes, the Chinese Constitution sounds very nice. In fact most countries could learn a lot from it. Unfortunately, it is not necessarily practiced as written.

[Dr. Keith]

say, you cut out the meat of my post. "weird."

And you cut the sausage out of mine. "kinky"

Everybody knows how those christians love their sausage.

No,

Think of it like a Venn diagram.

The subset of the people responsible for this atrocity all fall directly within the set of "atheist."

"Not happy" sounds like a bit of an understatement, no?

the Chinese Government rounds up a million people and destroys churches, books etc. Not sure "not happy" fits.

K. Marx

A fast google search reveals that full quote as:

"Communism begins from the outset with atheism; but atheism is at first far from being communism; indeed, that atheism is still mostly an abstraction." -Karl Marx.

Don't you think it's a bit dishonest to abbreviate it that way?

eta: No, of course not, not in the slightest.

You live in China and do something the govt is not happy with and you will know it's not an understatement. But, I'm glad we got over the "evil atheist" nonsense and on to the real thing: The evil, or at least ruthless, dictatorship.

I think most of them ate rice for dinner, too. We should ban human consumption of rice.

To me it looks very dishonest, because the remaining part of the quote about atheism being far from communism really seems to undermine the point you were trying to make.

Do you see what I mean?

Fellas, this ain't because of eating rice, or merely because they are a ruthless totalitarian state.

They are suppressing religion because Xi wants China to be an atheist state and because of an ideology that requires it to be an atheist state.

Not sure why so many people are outraged about the plain and simple facts, but to help you get over it, I would be delighted to refer to it as Marxist Atheism, deal?

Not at all, because I fully understand that what it meant is that passive atheism isn't going to destroy religion, it takes active communism to do it.

 

[MRC_Hans]

No. Their ideology requires it to be a socialist state. A socialist state is indifferent to religion, as long as religion is not perceived to threaten the state's power.

Incidentally, this is true of all governments.

The reason why more people are not outraged about what you describe is because you are wrong about what you are outraged about.

Hans

Ah, well, it is just that these Marxist Atheists states have a very recurrent perception that religion is a threat, perhaps it has something to do with the marxism part?

"The abolition of religion, as the illusory happiness of the people, is the demand for their real happiness."

Marx

I knew it was the rice!

Wait, you're saying it's the totalitarian state squashing all forms of dissent aren't you?

****.

Well, we can still ban rice, right? I've always preferred sashimi.

Your silly rice analogy is more persuasive as pretending that the Firm Marxist Atheist ideology isn't involved.

score one for you.

Truth be told I ate rice today, too. Now I'm feeling guilty about this **** that other consumers of rice are doing in China. Damn.

Oh my, you do love your rice analogy.

Say, maybe if instead of Firm Marxist Atheists persecuting religious people, instead we have Firm Marxist Rice marketing board persecuting people who didn't eat rice, and then TBD would come in and explain it is because of the fact they market rice, and then pro-rice snowflakes would come in and say, no, it has nothing to do with rice, it is because dictatorship.

"Rice, it is what Marxist Atheists eat when persecuting religious people."
