> [@Laudenum](#): > > While I’m an Athiest myself, I would hate to live in a world ruled by rabid Athiests, and where religion is banned. That’s the whole point - it’s not banned. The only people left alive would be people who don’t believe it anyway. So it would just neatly remove the problem without all that messy business of banning ideas. ---

> [@mutantmoose](#): > > We may still have political differences but at least the supernatural is out of the equation. No, it’s not. You can kill all mathematicians but that doesn’t eliminate the concept of math.

You’d have neither. > [@Boyo Jim](#): > > Better off convincing them that God wants them to die and join him in paradise. How would one go about removing the stigma from suicide? Actually, the more democratic method would be for atheists to commit suicide considering the disproportionate ratio of believer to nonbeliever. And from a propertarian’s standpoint, it seems theists in some form were here first so homestead another planet. I think the OP just created a new term, internet shitting. ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > “You are a religious person?” No, but I live in the buckle of the Bible belt. Many of my family members, friends, coworkers, and frankly, damn near everyone else in this part of the country is religious to some degree. I object rather strongly to the notion that they should be killed, or are otherwise poor company, because they are religious. ---

And from a propertarian’s standpoint, it seems theists in some form were here first so homestead another planet… There is nothing more democratic than volunteerism. Voluntary suicide by True Believers is infinitely preferable than to mass murder them, don’t you think? ---
