What I have is despair, not hatred.

And what I have is despair of HATRED driven by IGNORANCE and RANTED as irrefutable TRUTH.

Despite the claim by Atheists and secular humanists that religion is the number cause of violence and war throughout the history of mankind, it is UTTER FALLACY and B.S.

Of 1,763 wars that have been waged in human history, only 123 - 6.98% - have been fought in the name of Religion. Deduct the 66 wars waged in the name of Islam, and the percentage fals by more than half to 3.23%.





Even taking into account the atrocities being perperated right now by IS, NON-RELIGIOUS motivated causes are responsible for nearly all human lives lost at the hands of Fanatics:

Non-Religious Dictator Lives Lost

Joseph Stalin - 42,672,000
Mao Zedong - 37,828,000
Adolf Hitler - 20,946,000
Chiang Kai-shek - 10,214,000
Vladimir Lenin - 4,017,000
Hideki Tojo - 3,990,000
Pol Pot - 2,397,0003

Almost 170 million men, women and children have been shot, beaten, tortured, knifed, burned, starved, frozen, crushed or worked to death; buried alive, drowned, hung, bombed or killed in any other of a myriad of ways governments have inflicted death on unarmed, helpless citizens and foreigners. The dead could conceivably be nearly 360 million people."

I love unsubstantiated propaganda.
