“They” don’t need to because there’s always some atheist in the comment section to make bigoted generalizations and make wild claims that are demonstrably nonsense, such as…
> I truely believe that humanity has a greater chance of being destroyed by one of these death cults than anything else out there.
Yes, because the explicitly atheist regimes that are right now and for the last 70+ years been arming themselves to the teeth with world destroying nuclear arsenals and adopting belligerent stances against the other nuclear powers are way down the list of probable harbingers of doomsday.
The term cult has now a negative connotation but the way I meant it was as little religion, like a carrot an a baby carrot?.
I agree on the atheist rebuttal although I honestly do not think the world is ruled by atheism regimes oppressing the poor religious minority. I have no idea what spawned the whole MAD ideology regarding nuclear weapons, it never made sense to me. It must have stemmed from an unshakeable belief that it was ther right thing to do. This blind faith in something is the problem.
All I know is when the button that dooms us all is pressed, that person will have no doubts that he is making the right choice. Whether he calls himself a christian or an atheist makes no difference.
Because the alternative is, "Hey, using just a few nuclear weapons would be okay." Which would (a) cause enormous destruction and (b) likely escalate to all-out nuclear war anyway. You're better off saying, "Don't ever ever _ever_ start this, because you will not live to regret it."
