Just because people kill in the name of Islam doesnt mean Islam endorses it. Atheism is a death cult, Islam is far from it.

Islam: Highly concerned with death, who should die, what happens to you after death, the sinfull recieving a second death.
Atheism: There is no god
Yeah, I can see how Atheism is the death cult
"Just because people kill in the name of Islam doesnt mean Islam endorses it."
That would be true except that the Koran, like that Bible, instructs the faithful to kill.
"Atheism is a death cult, Islam is far from it."
Atheism is far from a cult. We worship nothing, we have no theology, no sacred texts and no gods. We can gather or not gather as we see fit for we have no Sabbath nor clergy.
Islam is the second largest cult in the world, just behind Christianity.
Your assertion tying atheists to death is ridiculous. Read a little bit of history. No one, so far as I know, has been killed in the name of atheism. Islam and Christianity have a far different track record.
What Papabear said.
Just because people kill in the name of Christianity doesnt mean Christianity endorses it.
Christianity, like Islam, is a death cult, Atheism is far from it.
Atheism isn't an organization, or a cult, or a religion, or anything else. It's simply a state of not believing in a God.
No matter how you choose to redefine it, it doesn't turn it into a "death cult."
The Islamic faith says that if you die in Jihad, you go to heaven with 20,000 servants and 72 virgin wives. One could probably make a case that that's a punishment, but I suspect they think of it as a reward ;)
My ex-wife (who was raised Catholic) often refers to Christianity as a death cult, since it revolves around the torturous death of its instigator and focuses so heavily on a theoretical afterlife.
Islam and Christianity BOTH have advocated killing on large scales at various times; some factions of Islam currently still do so, but otherwise, Islam is actually less of a death cult than Christianity.
Atheism is not a cult of ANYTHING. There is no worship involved, period. I don't understand how this can be such a freakin' hard concept for some people.

Very good!
"Atheism is a death cult,"
So if killing in the name of a "religion" doesn't warrant it being labeled a death cult, what does? Because obviously (or maybe I'm just being optimistic) you have some sort of criteria here. And how does this apply to a non-organized group of random people who happen to share one common opinion on a certain subject?
Two erroneous assumptions. If Islam is not a cult, atheism isn´t. To be a cult, they have to believe in something. Second, just because somebody invokes their ideology, I agree, it doesn´t mean that it endorses that. Ok, only that atheism never rely on their ideology to do those barbarities, whereas Islam does. Just be consequent.
Atheism is not a cult, a religion, a faith, or the work of Satan. Is it really so hard to grasp that it ONLY means the lack of belief in any deities?
Yeah, and bald people give hair-dressers a lot of work.
Yes, people killing in the name of Islam doesn't mean Islam endorses it, that's absolutely right.
The fact that the Quran orders the killing of certain people DOES mean that Islam endorses it, however.
Confused?
