"Power" according to Mao, is what comes from the barrel of a gun. Not "politics". Just for the record. And yes, if there was one and only one quote on your homepage and it was from Mao, I'd certainly assume you were an admirer.

My assumption was not unreasonable.

There is one quote on your homepage. It's from one of the 20th century's most famous atheists.

Combined with your skepticism of all of Fr. Pavone's words, I'm inclined to believe that there's some pre-existing baggage impinging on your thoughts.

Everything I've heard Pavone say has been measured and incisive. He's highlighted exactly what has happened here.

"It's from one of the 20th century's most famous atheists"

Since you have now proven that you know nothing about Russell, your incorrect assumption is of little worth.

I like the quote. I also like Russell's quote that "the time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." I guess that makes me an atheist, too - even though Russell wasn't.
