What a low blow, Christopher, and a cruel thrust, too. I apologize, if you think that appropriate, for the killings in Littleton by those two atheist Nazi students (pausing long enough to mention that Hitler was a Christian.)
To take this incident of pathology and compare it to the common torment by Christians, adults and children, of atheists, including of me and my sister, who were treated by Christian children with physical abuse and Christian adults with snide, frightening remarks (we were 5 and 6 and 10 years old, you understand.) I consider it, also, a subtle form of harassment when Christians claim for themselves rights to indoctrinate my child with their religious views while depriving me of a parallel right to offer mine.
Are you aware that both of the boys who committed the murder/suicides at Columbine High School were raised as believers?
You might want now to reflect on the Inquisition, where any form of supposed heresy, including atheism, brought torture and death to thousands.
It is as relevant to your morality as Columbine is to mine.
