Why do many atheists throw bible passages at Christians

[skepticalbip]

Quite a few children have died or been crippled because their parents refused common medical procedures because of their woo beliefs.

Jihadists have killed "infidels" because their religious leaders have convinced them it is their ticket to heaven.

Jim Jones led hundreds to their death with his particular brand of woo.

Televangelists pray on and fleece many who can not afford the donations they are convinced they need to send in.

Of course, there is idiotic things done by people for reasons other than woo too but those are and should be condemned just as the woo inspired idiotic actions should be condemned.

I agree. But you seem to be not connecting some dots at the end there.

Since you didn't specify those dots, I have to assume this was just a BS statement... either that or you assume I am a mind reader. I'm not.

I think what is musing is a clear statement of what politesse actual believes. He tends to pivot around a question like a politician.

I'm agnostic, and consider that to be the most sensible perspective on most religious questions.

An absence of conviction where no conviction is justified is better.
