@Not The Real JReg Do you now agree with me that we should ban @Not The Real JReg? When you have somebody making ridiculous assertions like this, it's bound to ruin the forum.
I've already told you that I don't have the power to do that.

Just mute him, for God's sake. Stop complaining.

Ok, so you think we came from nothing then? Well if you really believe that, then how come life has any meaning to you whatsoever? If there's no God, then there's no reason to be moral either so you may as well just go around raping and murdering people.
What? How does that relate to anything I said? And why would not believing in God mean that you'd go around raping and murdering people?

Hey, just look at Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, Kim Jong-il, Mussolini, etc. All atheists.

Actually, Hitler was a Christian. But why would those dictators being atheists mean that being an atheist should make you a murderer?

Actually, it's not certain what Hitler's religious views were. He definitely wasn't an atheist, and he publicly claimed to be a Christian, but in private, he criticised Christianity. See this Wikipedia article:

Stalin did nothing wrong.
