They can be monsters.

It's a good link Joseph Stalin, Adolph Hitler, Mao Ze Dung, Fidel Castro, Saddam Hussein, Hafez alAssad, Papa Doc Duvalier, Benito Mussilini, and Pol Pot did not have the problem inherent in any philosophical system rooted in mysticism -- that means religion.

That is such a relief. We better watch out for that fundamentalist Christian you know. He could be dangerous.

Might I remind you that Joseph Stalin, Adolph Hitler, Mao Ze Dung, Fidel Castro, Saddam Hussein, Hafez alAssad, Papa Doc Duvalier, Benito Mussilini, and Pol Pot won out without any serious opposition coming from religions.

Dictators win out over mindlessness using force, whereas peaceful thinkers -- might -- defeat mindlessness with reason if they can survive dictatorial and/or religious oppression.
