Yeah, too bad for you Stalin SAID it!

At a very early age, while still a pupil in the ecclesiastical school, Comrade Stalin developed a critical mind and revolutionary sentiments. He began to read Darwin and became an atheist.
G. Glurdjidze, a boyhood friend of Stalin's, relates:
"I began to speak of God, Joseph heard me out, and after a moment's silence, said:
"'You know, they are fooling us, there is no God. . . .'
"I was astonished at these words, I had never heard anything like it before.
"'How can you say such things, Soso?' I exclaimed.
"'I'll lend you a book to read; it will show you that the world and all living things are quite different from what you imagine, and all this talk about God is sheer nonsense,' Joseph said.
"'What book is that?' I enquired.
"'Darwin. You must read it,' Joseph impressed on me" 1

Stalin is often accused of following through with his Catholic training--(it was deep, deep, deep...and lasted for many many years before he was 'turned out'??). But what we do know for sure is that he was a sick person who lived for IDEOLOGY!

So we get the Inquisition or we get Stalinism? The difference is in the body count.

IDEOLOGIES. YUCK. They hurt us...
