what ideology have killed most people?

Post Reply New Topic

It's really irrelevant which particular ideology is responsible for the most carnage and death. What is relevant is that humans are capable of all manner of ghastly atrocities when they embrace a twisted ideology that gives them superiority complex.

Im talking about blaming a whole country and some politics as christians, but people never does that to muslims countries and muslims leaders like for exemple assad, al-sisi, gaddafi, saddam etc.

And the idelogy pan-arabism which is like nazism, nobody say they are muslims, but nazis are christians?

Its just bullhsit. Pan-arabism is as much islamic as nazism is christian and assad, saddam etc is as much islamic as hitler, stalin etc is christian.

when will people get this.

I left out a LOT of evil acts that have been perpetrated by Christians and/or in the name of Christ, not the least of which were the "Troubles" that you mentioned - violence between Christian sects (Catholic and non-Catholic) in Northern Ireland.

I think the main flaw in this post is that people do call Saddam, Assad, Gaddaffi et al. Muslims.

You could argue that religion isn't motivating for them, just as it wasn't for Hitler, but that would be strange in the case of Saddam at least. And of course, there's no point pretending they didn't hold the religious views they held.

Now, now, gentlemen ... let's not bludgeon our audience with too many facts at once. After all, they may have already made up their minds, and facts might offend them!

If we exclude the Baltic crusade, which had nothing to with the offensive Jihad, the crusades where originally called after the Byzantine emperor called on the pope for military aid to counter the Muslim invasions which later took on a different charterer.

All ideology are an irrational construct to protect the human ego. Thus, I believe the human ego has killed the most since humanity is afraid to let go of their ego. Hence, they will seek irrationality to protect them against rational conclusions.

To be fair I wouldn't classify either "side" of the troubles as being truly religious. They used it to create a false mask of legitimacy. As a case in point, I was once sitting at the back of a bus and some charming guys came over to me with a knife and asked if I was protestant or catholic. When I gave the right answer they started acting all friendly - phew - and on chatting to them I found that even though they called themselves protestant they didn't really even believe in God!

As another case in point, I had to move house at the age of four due to a threat against my family by the IRA. I was brought up for the first part of my life thinking it was normal to check under the car for bombs before getting in it. What "Christians" would do that to a four year old?

I was going to say "Nationality", but your answer is probably better!

the ideology of racial purity

It's hard to quantify really. An easy answer would be Communism which killed roughly around 100 million people in the 20th century, mostly their own people and not in war.

Yep, and "[s]ome say the implementation of Maoist thought in China was responsible for as many as 70 million deaths during peacetime..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maoism#Cr ... pretations .

In other words, my ideology is better than the other ideologies and so i'll make this thread to point it out.

The only thing this thread proves is that Christianity is just as awful, violent and opressive as Islam and still is today. Christians are just to wrapped up in thier own delusions to see it.

Just look at what's happening in Uganda if you want to see modern fundamentalist christian doctrine in action.

At least in the twentieth century, socialism has killed the most, on a frighteningly industrial scale and organization.

Just how antithetical is it for me to consider humanism as the potential culprit here? Venerating one's own lifestyle too much all too often leads to contempt of different ones. Governments and clerical zealots don't record death tolls.
