Christian and Atheism Worldwide Demographics: Current Realities and Future Trends.

Deese, you should read Nobel Laureate and Award-Winning Russian Historian Alexander Solzhenitsyn on Marxism/Communism. Btw, you know Marx was a "devout"[/sarcasm] Atheist, and said "Religion is the Opium of the Masses", right? He was an Anti-Religious Militant Atheist and one of the Most Famous Atheists ever. Own it. Here is Solzhenitsyn: "“Over a half century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of old people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: "Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened." Since then I have spent well-nigh 50 years working on the history of our revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: "Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened.”

Where are the Holocaust Memorials to those 60 MN poor Russian People, most of whom were Christians (Wiki's estimate of 20 MN is probably underestimated; since Russia, Ukraine et al - 10 MN Ukrainians were killed in the Holodomor under Atheistic Communist Jo Stalin - were like 80% Christian Countries; it's thus probable that somewhere like 45-48 MN of the 60 MN Solzhenitsyn mentions were Christians who died under Atheism)? The world doesn't want to erect them, though this Forgotten Holocaust in the East claimed many times more victims than that in the west; and the reason is clear: just like Stalin didn't want word of the Holodomor getting out, because then Churchill, FDR, etc would not negotiate with him, so also, even today, Atheists don't want word to go out that Atheists, with no fear of God or Hell, terribly persecuted Christians and killed 10s of MNs of us.

Fake Messiah, and do you know, in Three Popes and the Jews,Jewish Scholar Pinchas Lapide documents that Pope Ven. Pius XII was responsible for saving nearly 1 MN Jews during the western Holocaust? Do some reading and learn these things. Here is the source: "The Catholic Church, under the pontificate of Pius XII was instrumental in saving at least 700,000 but probably as many as 860,000 Jews from certain death at Nazi hands". So while Atheists were killing millions of Christians in the 20th Century, the Church and the Popes saved nearly 1 Million innocent lives. Those who have defamed Pope Pius XII's reputation are guilty of slander, in light of these objective historical facts.

As for lying, yes, of course it is a sin, no matter why it is done, as St. Paul says in one of his Epistles; we cannot do evil that good may come, the ends do not justify the means. It is a venial sin if it is a light matter and will be punished in Purgatory; it is a mortal sin if it is a grave matter, like perjury or bearing false witness to harm someone else, forbidden in the Eighth Commandment, and thus will be punished in Hell if unrepented of.

No, Christians were never Marxists/Communists. Marx's Philosophy said Religion was evil and Harmful, and that's what Communists implemented. Marx's Philosophy is pathetic and wrong. The Early Christians were Distributists. Distributism is a Christian School of Economics. It would support things like a Q-UBI for the Poor. But it wouldn't support Marx's false Anti-Christian and Anti-Religious moral views, which were gravely immoral. Marx himself admitted he couldn't derive an Is from an Ought, thus showing all his errors came from his Atheism and Moral Subjectivism.

So, the serpent chatting with Eve is literal, but the bit about forgiving debts is a metaphor?
