(13,029 posts)that atheists discounted Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot as "not true atheists" is bullshit. You can't point to ANY atheist anywhere who's said that, and now you're backpedalling and trying to deflect from your utter failure to back up your affirmative claim.
And if you're claiming that a lack of belief in gods motivated these people's actions significantly, that is also an affirmative claim. The burden of evidence is squarely on YOU. The burden is not on me to disprove it. Lots and lots has been written by and about these men, so logic says if there is such evidence, you should be able to find it easily. Unless you're doing in reality what you've tried to accuse me of (hint...you are).
So either point to the evidence, or stop wearying my ears with your crap.
