The death toll in Nazi Germany alone far outweighs the number of deaths during the Inquisition! Thousands died over a period of decades during the Inquisitions as opposed to the hundreds of millions due to governments attempting to remove all aspects of God. Every atheist that has ever debated a theist has tried that arguement, but refuses to face the death and destruction governments cause to its own citizens when they govern from an atheist worldview. Since you found it so necessary to claim that statements like mine lead to wars, tortures and deaths, give the numbers for comparison. If you don't, I will. All men are sinful and prone to violence and destruction, that includes those who claim to be believers in God. However, those who form organizations, institutions and governments without God, have far more death and destruction. I happily await your response with the numbers. (FYI: the arguement that Hitler was a Christian won't fly, because he hated Christianity. He spoke openly about that fact AFTER lying to the German citizens to try and get into their good graces)

I have no affinity for Nietzsche or his views. The end of his life shows exactly how delusory his beliefs were. However, as athiests go, he was the most honest in his philosophy of what the world should be like if there is no God. If we were to accept his statement as true, it would most definately apply to him. His "belief" meant that he did not want to know what is true; there is a God!

Another humanist attempting to misrepresent Christianity. Most early scientists were Christians. Many so called scientific discoveries have shown that the Bible has been true all along. His statement, "...the habitual and incorrigible defender of bad governments, bad laws, bad social theories, bad institutions." is also untrue. Considering that the 20th century was the bloodiest century in all of human history, the governments and worldviews responsible for those atrocities were atheistic, not Christian!
