T'ain't an atheist. If you can't even get the easy stuff right, why should we trust you on anything else?

I notice you avoid like the plague my simple statement that Theocracy, the Bible, and holy wars predated chr*stianity (to which you wish to attribute all these things). But maybe you think the Book of Genesis was composed by a few rednecks in Louisiana?

Actually, holy wars only came about with monotheism. Polytheistic societies, because they have numerous gods, aren't likely to go to war to prove any one god is better than the others.

Theocracies have existed in non-Christian socieities, and none of them are anything to write home about in their treatment of "others."

And, no, I think the Book of Genesis was composed by Bronze Age goatherders in the Middle East.
