@peterjukes most doesn't mean all and it might have been more accurate to say "...along ideological lines" Stalinism, nazism @SamHarrisOrg

@SamHarrisOrg@danabrahmsen Nice formulation. But logic trap ahead. The absence of God will not result in any cessation of conflict -
.
@peterjukes maybe. Absence of ideology will. Religion is a subset of ideology, therefore, one less thing to start fights.@SamHarrisOrg -
@danabrahmsen@SamHarrisOrg Don't disagree with that. But the premise God causes most/all wars is evidentially wrong. -
@peterjukes again, there's a difference between 'most' and 'all'. 'All' was never claimed.@SamHarrisOrg -
@danabrahmsen@SamHarrisOrg Fair. But even 'most' in terms of casualties and destruction is tenuous at best -
@peterjukes Remembering that 51% could be 'most' if you want to get technical I would like to see some stats@SamHarrisOrg -
@danabrahmsen@SamHarrisOrg Well@sapinker has the stats. Casualties from Stalin, Hitler and Mao dwarf anything (per capita) since Mongols -
@peterjukes how about sheer number of wars which is what the original statement implies?@SamHarrisOrg@sapinker - 6 more replies

@SamHarrisOrg: A lack of something doesn't play the same logical role as its presence. e.g. Non-stamp-collecting is not a hobby.”Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
