Quote:Isn't this a fallacy of guilty by association? what if I don't go to church? does that mean that if I'm a marxist I am responsible by Stalin's policies even if I personally disagree with his take on Marxism?
If you don't go to church and don't make contributions to their filthy coffers but for some reason still insist on calling yourself a "catholic" well, then you have other issues. The church itself is not too pleased with you.
Again, if you are a Marxist who does not attend party meetings you'd be of precious little use to Stalin who determines the standards of conduct which were needed to not get a bullet in the back of your head.
But if you provide verbal/moral support for either the church or the marxists ( nice analogy, btw) then yes, you have to live with the guilt of supporting monsters.
