Thanks for the essay by Professor Hakeem Christine. I think it is pretty clear that the Nazi leadership was not atheist which was my original point. I am not going to share any responsibility for what Stalin or anyone else did. Non-Shriners must bear the guilt, because Stalin was not a Shriner, if we are to follow Freddies logic of guilt by common non-association! I am responsible for my own actions, period! This is apparently hard for Christians to fathom after being brainwashed all of their lives that they are guilty of the sins of the mytical Adam, because they are a human just like him. Del

This Hakeem really is full of it, isn't he? I haven't read a better example of "special pleading" in a while. But if logic must be torured to tell the story you like, logic be damned, eh Christine? there is a world of difference between what happened in Russia earlier in this century, and thousands of years of abuse and cruelty and torture and murder condoned by Protestants and Catholics-- Well let's see, the atheist French Revolution gave the world the Terror, the atheist USSR gave the world the gulag, the atheist PRC still has slave labor camps; I guess the mildest atheist society was good old Albania, a true bastion of liberty.
