No. I made an extreme hypothetical guess when I said Stalin was raised as a
christian. I was delerious when I found out he studied for the priesthood. Are you
saying now that he may have been justified because he as an atheist used christian
values/ Walt, nevermind all the strawmen that you're throwing at me. Either show
where Marxism, atheism, evolution or anything else espouses the mass killings that
the Bible, Hitler and Stalin have committed. And by the way, it's no shame to just
come out and admit you were wrong on a subject. Even if Stalin got his idea to
kill all these people, it was still wrong -- the same as it was wrong for Hitler
to do it. You can still claim the Bible is a different case. I won't agree with
you but you can still claim so.
