Haven't you ever heard of "Finding God on death's door"? It seems like a logical extension that if someone doesn't believe in God, they might be more apt to go out in a big way.

I'm not following your point. People who don't believe in a God may not care what happens to the planet and it's inhabitants as they age.
However, I also pointed out that at least one religion believes that if one suicide bombs that one gets rewarded in heaven.
Somehow, even though I tried to point out pro's and cons, you seem to think I was taking only one position.

its completely made up in your head.
this could be true of anyone, regardless of
stance on A god.
i'm really...... reeeeeally sick of the pathetic
*they don't believe in god so they must not care*
rhetoric that is so commonplace amongst peoples
brains.... someone needs to do a thorough cleaning
of that region -- if people truly believe that.

Christianity? I was taking the taliban.
The point being I refuted my own premise by showing that if people believe being violent on earth can lead to rewards in heaven, then the idea that non-believers would do more harm to the planet than believers has to be exorcised.

and your refutation is a generalization in disguise
your 'specific' has yet to be shown how its 'specific'....
It's not a generalization because I gave a specific example.
I've given several specifics, I think you may be right, you are bored by the topic, too bored to pay attention.
