How (and why) to Ramble on your goat sideways

Undoubtedly eliciting countless giggles in high school Civics classrooms nationwide, the Congressman's surname is correctly pronounced "BAY-ner." Though—fittingly—its phonetic pronunciation is a colloquial term for an erection of the male reproductive organ.

I'm not downplaying them. Just saying that the point they are at now is nothing compared to the point the Christians are at. Christians still slaughter innocents in the name of the Lord. It's ridiculous. Religion is going to **** everyone in the *** one day and when everyone's dead and finds out there is no heaven or hell or all-knowing, unfair Maker then even more **** will hit the fan.

Yes and in the future all the Atheists will fight over who has the better association name...whats your point?
Can I have a few references of where in resent history....lets say the last month or two, Christians have slaughtered people in the name of the Holy Ghost. I'm curious.

Gotta watch them agnostics also:
McVeigh was raised Roman Catholic.[83] During his childhood, he and his father attended daily Mass at Good Shepherd Church in Pendleton, New York.[citation needed] In a March, 1996, interview with Time magazine, McVeigh professed his belief in "a God", although he said he had "sort of lost touch with" Catholicism and "I never really picked it up, however I do maintain core beliefs."[83] In June, 2001, McVeigh wrote a letter to the Buffalo News claiming to be an agnostic[84] and told the authors of American Terrorist that he did not believe in Hell.[85] McVeigh once said that he believed the universe was guided by natural law, energized by some universal higher power that showed each person right from wrong if they paid attention to what was going on inside them. He had also said, "Science is my religion."[86]

I just thought of one. I'm pretty sure the dude that killed Lenon did it because of ( amoung other reasons) Lenon's disapproving views on Christianity.
Case closed!
Now we can sit tight and wait for the Scientologist Army to take over the world!

Can't we all just get along? Cut ties with your gods and just be a man. I know, it was hard for me to accept that Santa wasn't real, but I got used to a world without someone watching me when I'm sleeping, and judging me on everything I do. I do just fine without him.

E-NA6CE is so full of **** it is ridiculous. Stalin killed in the name of Christianity? That's funny seeing how he systematically crushed Christianity at every turn because he thought it undermined his authority. Try not spouting a bunch of bullshit until you've taken the time to actually read a book, mmkay?
And looking at this historic list of wars by death toll I am trying to pick out a couple that are based on religious differences. Seems to me most were started over control of land and resources. And this doesn't look much like 814 million deaths. Maybe there were a few dozen extra World War IIs that you are counting that I missed.
