Instigation buddy. Weird how you don't see that... It would be no different than if I posted a video of an atheist spray painting "God is dead", then Marazul saying "Stalin murdered so many in the name of their atheistic belief". He would know that would instigate an argument with probably you and many other atheists.
My post was both an observation and demonstrably true. Stands up to scrutiny. Weird how you don't see that. I basically said that there is a violent period in the evolution of both religions. Get it?
Fool, Stalin murdered in the name of socialism, not in the name of atheism. You simply are not in command of the facts. You've tried this ploy over and over and keep getting trounced over it.
http://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin Too easy! I knew you would fall right into that one. It's easy to beat a bull headed fool
LOL, I know you didn't read it. Maybe you should and get back to me. Or quote which part of it you think is relevant for whatever point you've already failed to make.
But this is just another example of an atheist that will generalize an entire belief on actions of a few, yet defend their very own ideology by not accepting their own peers have been just as guilty
Oh I will, but I'm giving you a chance to read it and make the case. So you are saying that Stalin used socialism and had no interest with doing away with religion? That he never made speeches to the people of the republic to do away with religion?
I think he made a futile effort to spread Marxism, but gave up on it. His mass murders were inspired by politics and maintaining power, not for reasons of exterminating religion. As my recent quote of your link clearly supports. The problem with socialism is you have to kill all the rich people who won't voluntarily participate.
And the problem of your Stalin gambit is that he may have been atheist but the soldiers who carried out his agenda were Christians of the Russian Orthodox variety.
The USSR anti-religious campaign of 1928–1941 was a new phase of anti-religious persecution in the Soviet Union following the anti-religious campaign of 1921–1928. The campaign began in 1929, with the drafting of new legislation that severely prohibited religious activities and called for a heightened attack on religion in order to further disseminate atheism. This had been preceded in 1928 at the fifteenth party congress, where Joseph Stalincriticized the party for failure to produce more active and persuasive anti-religious propaganda. This new phase coincided with the beginning of the forced mass collectivization of agriculture and the nationalization of the few remaining private enterprises.
The main target of the anti-religious campaign in the 1920s and 1930s was the Russian Orthodox Church, which had the largest number of faithful. Nearly all of its clergy, and many of its believers, were shot or sent to labour camps. Theological schools were closed, and church publications were prohibited.[1] More than 85,000 Orthodox priests were shot in 1937 alone.[2] Only a twelfth of the Russian Orthodox Church's priests were left functioning in their parishes by 1941.[3]
