Sure, it will make it easier for us Atheists to take over.

It is a lovely idea, but I don't see it as being practical. There would always be someone that says God wanted them to have a weapon to kill the 'evil'. Evil being defined as anything the said person hates.

Guns don't kill people.
Not my point. When have soldiers ever declared war? It is politicians, usually with support from the citizenry in democratic nations, that start wars.

The wars America are fighting do not have the citizen's support.
They should end or we should say its for the oil and take it. This occupation with nebulous exit conditions is killing and maiming the flower of our youth.
What's so special about the ones who believe in God?
It'd be nice if they *all* put down their weapons and had a chat instead.

Bout as often as I hear about the inquisition and hitler!
The day that we can achieve peace through conversation is the day that there is nothing worth fighting for anymore.
Cool -- the Inquisition was a tool that was more often used against other Christians than any other group and it was certainly a product of its time.
Hitler was also privately an atheist by all accuonts and even attempted to create a new religion based around Wotan. Check out the sort of events that happened at Wewelsburg castle.
