So did you have any problem with this threads author generalizing religion and its tie to violence

I'm not certain you read his message, he mentioned that two specific religions had violent connotations with him, then proceeded to list some that didn't.  Does that straw man come with a hat?

In my experience when athiests are confronted with unexpected and immediate death they pray to God.  Not mom, or dad.

Dignity.

Only up to the point where the person ceases to exist.  After that they wont care about dignity.  In fact after death, the whole experience of ones life becomes non existant and of no value whatsoever to the person who just expired.

In the final analysis, when the last human being dies, nothing that ever happened throughout history has any value.  None, zero....nadda.  The whole excercise of life is in fact, a total waste of time because after death, being born never really happened :D

Life is a death sentence. I'm an atheist. After my death, I'll probably be pushing up daisies somewhere....but that's just me.
