It would take a LOT of unbiased scholarly work to say definitively what his religion was, and I don't know if that exists yet --- the christians all say he was atheist, the atheists all say he was a christian.
Did stalin kill people based on their religion? I don't know much about this, and would like to hear more from a good source. I know he killed political opponents - I don't know what else he based his killings on. I read somewhere that soviet russia very faintly respected religion, at least to the point of begrudgingly allowing it to exist.

You fucking people are amazingly ignorant. I am hardly surprised.
Tossica wrote:Like many "christians", Mindia came to the gutwrenching realization that he was a shitty human being. He had spent most of his adult life treating his fellow human beings like shit and instead of dealing with all the shitty things he had done to other people and apologizing, he figured he would turn his life over to Jesus and the Lord would forgive him and make all the bad things go away. Once he felt he was straight in the lords eye, it doesn't matter what damage he may have caused. Besides, if he ever fucks up and shits on anyone else, he can always pray to the lord and everything is cool again.

Hmm Mindia talking about blanket statements makes me giggle.

1. If life started from single celled organisms, what scientific purpose would there be to evolving past that, cause they have always seemed to be near perfect at living?
2. Look at what people have accomplished, what’s the point dose it really make that much more fit to produce young.
