(Thread title: Atheism: a sign of psychopathy?)

Or is it willful rejection of reality?

The Facts are Atheists are more cold hearted and evil than theists especially christians:
And more likely to commit mass murders, such as shooting up schools.

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/seanthomas/100231060/are-atheists-mentally-ill/

I personally believe their is a link between Atheism and mentally illness, through it would be a stretch to say psychopathy as a large percentage of Atheists are capable of acting like normal people. Which Psychopaths can't do. How ever Atheists are more likely to have a skewed moral compass making them more likely to shoot up schools etc...

Here's what's not only likely but absolutely provable.

After a mass killing like Sandy Hook or the Aurora theatre incidents, the Fundy blogs, radio/internet shows will be calling the perp an Atheist ASAP, well before the news identifies the killer. They will shamelessly use any tragedy to start and continue the lie.

I've looked into these events and in several cases so much Atheist blaming was making the circuit that the police had to include in their statements that (as in the two cases above)that the killers were raised Christian and STILL had church ties.

I've got a feeling that they know most horrendous acts like these stem from their own Old Testament injustice and lack of empathy indoctrination. That they are raising these overly judgemental and Righteous God-Warriors so they're really quick to divert blame to Atheism or Liberal secularism.

It took me weeks on both these cases to see any info realeased that would indicate what type of person would do such a thing, I reserved speculation until then (the Sandy Hook killer had a long history of mental illness so I don't blame his religious upbringing, except to note it didn't help) I wish your lot would also do this. STOP LIEING.

As a humanist, I put high value on life, unlike Christians who often approve of bombing countries full of brown people with oil.

BTW, Timothy McVeigh was a Christian terrorist who specifically blew up the federal building because of his screwed up beliefs in Christian Identity.

Scott Roeder specifically shot Dr. George Tiller because of his Christian belief that abortion is murder. So did Shelly Shannon years earlier.

Eric Rudolph planted bombs at the Olympics in Atlanta, GA as well as several abortion clinics. All because of his religious beliefs.

Remember Jim Jones? Do you really want to bring up mental illness?

I could go on and on, but what's the point? Christians will always get a free pass or have the "not a true Christian" card played whenever they do something wrong, but on the off chance one atheist does something bad then all atheists are immoral and evil.

"reality"

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

'personally believe their is a link between Atheism and mentally illness, through it would be a stretch to say psychopathy as a large percentage of Atheists are capable of acting like normal people. Which Psychopaths can't do. How ever Atheists are more likely to have a skewed moral compass making them more likely to shoot up schools etc', you say...?

Schools were being shot to shit way before Atheism was so much a [i]fringe[/i] philosophy in the US, was it not...?

Japan. Shinto/Zen Buddhist. Anti-gun laws far more draconian than post-Dunblane UK. No school shootings there. Explain?

'Facts are Atheists are more cold hearted and evil than theists especially christians', eh? Timothy McVeigh. Eric Robert Rudolph. Scott Roeder. Explain II. I can. After all, you cannot spell 'Fundamentalist' without the word [i]Mental[/i].

God: 2,038,344.

Satan (and only on God's authorisation): 10.

Anon-e-moose: 0.

So I must be fucking up somewhere, re. my 'skewed moral compass', eh IW?! [/hyper-sarcasm] Oh yes, that's right: I prefer the GPS of superior Atheist morals, using the relativity of 'I wouldn't want to be killed/raped/harmed, nor would I want my property stolen/damaged, so why should I do the same to others?', based on the core programming of the Wiccan Rede: 'An it harm none, do what thou wilt'.

'Fundamentalist Christianity' indeed. Your own 'morality' based on the worst hyper-psycho schizoid loony amoral nutpop out there.

No, it's a simple refusal to accept at face value completely unsupported claims of a certain supernatural phenomenon.

This is wrong.

And more likely to commit mass murders, such as shooting up schools
So wrong. Look up actual statistics.

I personally believe their is a link between Atheism and mentally illness
Your personal beliefs are demonstrably wrong.

through it would be a stretch to say psychopathy as a large percentage of Atheists are capable of acting like normal people. Which Psychopaths can't do.
Wrong. Maybe try looking up a condition before you post rather than asserting how it presents based on nothing but your own totally incorrect beliefs.

How ever Atheists are more likely to have a skewed moral compass making them more likely to shoot up schools etc...
Still wrong.
