Let's remember that Marx turned Hegel upside down, and whatever spirituality there was in Hegelianism got turned into materialism by Marx.

Typical - I suppose I should count myself lucky that you can spell "Hegel", although you did have my post to crib from.

HV wants to concentrate on the materialistic end of it - I choose to pay attention to the dialectics of it. By HV's logic, atheism is materialistic, and Marxism is materialistic, therefore atheism is Marxist. I have merely expropriated his logic for myself - Christianity is a result of dialectical processes, Marxism is a result of dialectical processes, ergo Christianity is Marxist. QED.

"atheism is materialistic"

It's not? You know, since you're flinging condescending insults, why don't you enlighten us with some definitions.

By the way, I think most Christians believe that their faith is Revealed Truth, not the product of a dialectic. But hey, maybe you know better than we do.

Well we were talking about materialism were we not? Also, the process does not mean the result is the same, in fact your 'reasoning' in the rest of your post is pure nonsense, and the worst of it is that you think it is quite profound.
