atheists are comfortable now with killing off the unborn, elderly, disabled, or ill - I am not the least surprized that they will be comfortable with killing off Christians in the future.

I'm not for killing off the elderly, disabled, the ill, or even Christians. Killing off Christians would be akin to killing the patient to cure the desease. I'd love to be able to do away with all religion, however.
Fundiementalists are comfortable now with killing off the homosexuals, atheists, liberals, feminists, Jews, Muslims, abortion doctors...
Fixed.
Abortion doesn't kill a baby, it often "kills" a clump of cells that doesn't even resemble a baby in the slightest. And somewhat less often one in higher development due to complications.
Euthanasia isn't "killing" the elderly or disabled, it's allowing them to die peacefully if they want to instead of having to suffer the last months/years of excrusiating pain their diseases/old age brings them.
Killing of christians serves neither purpose. Having a christian walking around doesn't hurt anyone, unless they are shooting at people, for example. They don't cause people to suffer fro incurable aflictions nor do they kill or financially and emotionally destroy a pregnant woman (well, there are those ofcourse, but they are exceptions. Just like the babies that do get aborted or the sick people that chose for suicide). So killing of christians as a specific cultural target won't happen unless the christians declare war on the rest of the world.
They are not killing elderly(?), and if you´re talking about euthanasia, it´s the ill people who want to kill themselves. So, just a problem with THEIR conscience, not the non-believers, which not always agree either with this or suicide(most of them doctors). And better watch those Christians, who are comfortable with death penalty and sometimes even agree with killing off everybody they don´t like.
"atheists are comfortable now with killing off the unborn,"
The unborn are not human beings. I do not take abortion casually, but it is not murder.
"elderly, disabled, or ill"
If you are talking about euthanasia, I am in favor of allowing that choice, but not forcing it on anyone.
"I am not the least surprized that they will be comfortable with killing off Christians in the future."
So, you made up some shit about atheists so that you could "support" your fear-mongering. Clever. Lying for "God" is still lying.
Name for me, Green Darner, one athiest that you actually know. Go ahead, I dare you!. . . . .
I thought not!
I am absolutely not in favor of killing the eldery, disabled, ill, or Christians. I have no particular desire to stop them being killed if THEY want it to happen themselves, however.
The unborn I have no problem with because I do not consider them to be human, or indeed more significant than cancer.
Hell, I'm okay with it now.
Seriously, though, I'm not particularly in favor of killing the elderly, disabled, or ill without a evidence they didn't wish their life prolonged artificially. Why would I be? I'm not the one that believes in a "better place."
I agree with McCulloch, this is a very dangerous line of thinking. I suspect that similar, perhaps not so extreme, beliefs are why recent polls showed that people are unwilling to elect an Atheist to office. I also fear that this, in a nutshell, is why many Atheists stay "in the closet."
"atheists are comfortable now with killing off the unborn..."
Forgive me for feeling a girl should have to suffer all her life for one stupid mistake.
"...elderly, disabled, or ill..."
If they are terminal, in pain, and asking for death, I feel euthanasia is a better option that dragging out their agony.
"I am not the least surprized that they will be comfortable with killing off Christians in the future."
Why would I want to do that? I have no need for senseless murder, no matter how irritating said victim is.
Confused?
