That is unnatural. Killing is very natural, and you will need to provide your proofs that everything related to killing people is just a pure evil.

I think killing is something necessary sometimes. And not the merciful-killing.

Not in the trustworthiness of the historical evidences. Islam is stable and well established with very strong historical evidences.

You should educate yourself about Islam I think.

I believe you should provide your references for definitions, as I think I didn't confuse atheism with nihilism/postmodernism according to wikipedia.

The bible is not trust worthy historical evidence in our days.

Christianity is to believe without proofs. You just feel the deal. Which why I refused it, and accepted Islam. And In Islam, Jesus didn't resurrect, but he just went to heavens, and will return some day without getting death. But yet, this is not a historical evidence.

Therefore I say - according to my historical knowledge - no for both arguments.

Actually the state cannot be without religion. And the whole debate is just a fake.

Atheism is a religion, because it is about believing things cannot be proved by science, especially the believe of the absence of God, the other life and the judgment day.

And it is very important to decide about the existence of God if you want to do anything serious.

For example, if we have a judgment day, then our laws should consider following special practices to guide us to the happiness in the other life, not this one only.

But the problem is, the Christianity religion lost its historical evidences. And sadly, it is no any more a religion of science. For that, as I believe, Islam is the only remaining solution to this problem. Because, Islam can be scientifically proved, and it can solve the problem of having a religious government and yet a scientific one.

But if I was forced to choose between atheist government or a Christian one, I believe I will choose the Christian one. Because, Christianity is much more promising for the the balance of happiness between the two major ideas of this world "There is a God, and There is no God" as far as this Christian government does not enforce its religion on people.

Atheists do not believe having souls, but that does not mean they are denying its existence as far as we are talking about reasonable Atheists.

The notion of denying what you don't see, is just a very stupid argument, and it is refused by the leaders of Atheists.

And for a side note. Many Atheists know about soul, but just refuse to believe in it, without any reason behind of that. They feel it, and know the existence of some soft being in them, but they just try to not use the word "soul". This is a famous behavior of the human being. They love to live the lie.

Those are the Atheists who had some visions about the future (or other manifestations of soul), and watched it happens, and they knew it is there. But they still refuse to call it "Soul".

Evolution never conflicted with Christianity. Evolution is talking about the trends and generals. And Christianity is talking about specific events.

If the evolution is right, that does not mean God didn't create Adam on his image. That because, the evolution is talking about the way of creation without specific cases. And the religion is talking about actual events without talking about the way of creation.

And remember, evolution will never be able to deny the exceptions. For that, God can create what ever he want, without even the slightest ability of us to distinguish his deeds from natural deeds.

It actually never been a threat to my belief in Islam also.

It should be optional. That because, you cannot prevent similar people from gathering and doing something they all believe in.

That is impossible, because when ever it will happen, the world will collapse.

We cannot do anything to change the past, because, changing one event in the past (even just watching), will make a leak in the main chain of power distribution, and it will swallow everything. Think about it like a black hole (but it is not a black hole, it is worse).

The only way to know the past history, is by tracking the traces and reading the written knowledge.

But seeing the future is a different story. Because, seeing it does not change anything in the future because nothing of the future had ever happened yet. It is just a vision drove by current chain of power distribution, and caused by some supernatural being. And I think it is a high evidence of contact with a supernatural being.

Planning is not the only reason for accountability in murders. Your will is the actual reason, even if you didn't plan for the killing. But if you planned the killing, that means, you got a continuous will for killing someone, and many things happened with your will, which is leading to the killing of that person. But be sure that, if you didn't plan it (no will of it at all), the same things will happen but with different "wills". And if you were never thinking about killing some one, you will not be held responsible even if the killing happened by your own hand.

I meant with accountability here is against God, because God knows the "will". But people can be confused about "wills or motivations", and if you couldn't proof your honest will, you will be held accountable against people and law according to the historically standardized evidences of killing, like having the killing tool in your hand. That is a different sad story of the ignorance of human being.

In other words, if you want to not be guilty, you should always keep your will green and good. And that means, you will not plan for anything bad, and that is under your ability for sure. And after that, don't worry about the actual events, because, the plan of God is for the good of us, no matter what pain we could get in this life.
