I made this in response to an atheist “poster” showing the World Trade Center with the caption, “Imagine a world without religion” (hat tip: Fallacy of Equivocation). Mine is accurate, theirs is ridiculous because of the logical fallacies required to think in such a manner.
Imagine no snotty, arrogant people who reject God.
Imagine no unbelievers who take it a step further and actually kill and otherwise persecute Christians because they think our beliefs are a threat to their political power.
Imagine no governments built on this concept.
Imagine no men leading those governments who slaughtered millions of undesirables, as part of their quest to build a utopian workers’ paradise here on Earth.
Good point. Some try to claim Hitler was a Christian based on selective quote-mining, but if you do real research you’ll see that he just used the church. Not that it is shocking that someone who killed 14 million people and started a world war would be willing to lie about his faith!
I believe Hitler and Stalin both were involved in the Christian faith as boys, but turned their backs on it as they grew older and decided to try and be “gods” themselves…much like pretty much anyone else who has tried to lead a secular totalitarian government.
(The Kim dynasty of North Korea is a particularly egregious example; the country is said to be the world’s largest personality cult.)
After watching several documentaries on Hitler’s rise to power, I learned that one of his henchmen – Heinrich Himmler to be exact – decided to revive the old pagan Norse mythological gods, hoping that such imagery would appeal to the country’s Teutonic roots going back to the pre-Christian medieval period. One of the many enthusiastic brownshirts reportedly said, “We shall be pagans again.” There exists old film – now available in color in fact – of swastika-studded parades, featuring men on horseback dressed up to look like Thor and other Scandinavian gods of old.
In practice, of course, it was demonic, just as any other pagan belief system inevitably is, and it’s well known that the upper echelons of the Nazi party were involved in the occult.

Imagining no atheism…and each of those men would still have done the things for which they are infamous.
Nice arbitrary statement. Can you back it up? The rest of the world has on record their hatred of God and Christians, so you have an uphill struggle.
Not all atheists hate Christians. And not all who hate Christians are atheists.
“…each of those men would still have done the things for which they are infamous.”
You did not back up your arbitrary statement. Instead, you made another one.
No kidding.
Not all communists have the blood of innocents on their hands.
Not all who have the blood of innocents on their hands are communists.
But many do and many are.
What’s your point?

You did a great job with the poster!
Thanks. A little imagination, a lot of history, and a great deal of help from Paint dot Net.

Very nice poster, and isn’t it missing Hitler? Probably one of the biggest despite the people who say the Holocaust never happened.

Hitler was not an atheist. He was anti-Christian as well as anti-Jew, and an occultist. That’s why he didn’t make the list.
