I'm changing the subject? Let's see: you make the outlandish claim that atheists believe murder is sometimes acceptable, with your diction implying that this is a trait that religious individuals don't share. So I call you out saying that none of us said that (and imrightuarewrong's statement that you quoted in no way is equivalent to him saying murder is sometimes right).
So then I show you statistics saying that a) most violent criminals are christian, and b) that most christians believe in the death penalty, which is exactly the idea that murder is sometimes ok.

First, I’d like to point out a few things about statistics:
1. Correlation does not equal causation.

You're right. Good thing that's not what I'm claiming at all. You imply that atheists have the quality that they feel murder is sometimes justified, and I show more christians have this quality than atheists.

That's funny, because that's exactly what you did in your quote:
Quote:
For the atheist:
1. Murder is not wrong in all cases.
2. Corollary: murder is sometimes acceptable.
3. Therefore, the individual decides the value of another individual’s life upon whim.

So...what? Do you just throw these statements out when it's convenient for you? This is the second time I've called you out on these crazy claims, and it's getting old.
