Why would you think that making the observation that Materialistic Atheism philosophically underlies Communism as practiced by the specific nations I already mentioned is equal to saying all Atheists must be therefore be Communists???? I showed you that it was the case from Marx' own words. Why don't you address that instead of having another one of your tantrums? I know you don't like to admit that the most bloodthirsty killers from the French Revolution on were all acting within a perfectly consistent Atheistic Worldview or that there are no examples of Atheists who have gained power and not used that power to murder their own people. It looks really bad that Atheists have had such a murderous track record so I understand your desire to spin the situation, but the facts are the facts. The worst atrocities ever committed by government or Man in the last two centuries were committed by consistent Atheists. You really seem to get very upset when people disagree with you. You claim that Ingersoll was the one of the greatest Humanitarians EVER. It's perfectly reasonable to ask why you think he qualifies to be included with people like Gandhi or M.L.K. Jr? The reasons you gave were that he was a lawyer who loved his family and that he was very nice to people(as long as they weren't Christians, Jews, Hindu or Buddhist. That hardly rates a mention let alone being touted as one of the greatest. The record of his own words which you quote on this forum ad infinitum, ad nausium: shows that Robert Ingersoll was an angry little man and an intellectual BULLY. What was the population of Atheists in his day? Maybe one percent? How odd: a Humanist who disdained the beliefs of the vast majority of Human beings. He loved being a Humanist: it's the people he could not stand.
