    sure, and in 1958 they started killing all the sparrows in china and 15 million+ people starved to death. It’s not religion atheism that caused that one; turns out that people fuck up whatever they want to and blame it on whatever; it doesn’t mean the thing they are blaming caused the thing that happened

      They didn’t say all bad things happened because of religion. Your example has nothing to do with religion at all, it was pure human stupidity, but when religious people do pure evil with the only justification being “because my religion says so”, you can’t not attribute it to religion if you want to be honest.

        so when a schizophrenic kills a busfull of orphans and says Jesus told him to do it, the pope is to blame?
