Quote:What Im saying is quite clear, Stalin's aim to convert people to atheism as a superior way of life would not have been done had he not thought it was a superior way of life. He killed people to destroy -political dissidents-Fixed that for you.
Quote:You might think atheism had nothing to do with his actions... I think it was a pretty important factor and denial of that clear and present fact is just dishonest.There is no clear and present fact. Unless, again, and for the final time, you can show that "i do not believe" is somehow the basis for "so i must kill those that do"
IOW, it isn't "atheism gone wrong" but something else, gone horribly wrong (or right..depending on which side of stalin's line you happened to be on).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
