Everybody believes their gang can do a better job, the problem with that "our gang" approach is everyone expects favours for espousing the right book, bible or manifesto. There is never a level playing field in this world. Most Christians are not connected to Christian epistemology in the way it was originally intended. The strength of the Christian approach was always one of distraction and rebellion, i.e. my God can walk on water what does yours do? The saving grace of the Christian outlook has always been unconditional love and forgiveness but I've seen very little of that in Christians I've met. In the minds of some inquisitors were slightly better folk than communists simply because they surrounded themselves with Christian symbolism. They are also too naive to realize Russian capitalism is as brutal as Russian communism ever was. This narrow approach madly attacks words instead of meanings. from your link... "In other words, communism was like a fanatical religion. It had its revealed text and chief interpreters. It had its priests and their ritualistic prose with all the answers. It had a heaven, and the proper behavior to reach it. It had its appeal to faith. And it had its crusade against nonbelievers." I can understand a would be inquisitors admiration and jealousy. They wish through revealed knowledge to be an interpreter and perhaps evolve into an inquisitor.
