As an alleged reply to my 269, that's not answering the mail, is it? Maybe Stalin couldn't handle the truth, but I still want it, OK? Most of us can take it.

I have my doubts about you, of course.

BTW, Jim Jones and Torquemada were inspired by the Bible, but I'll grant you they had fewer victims. OTOH, Stalin was probably inspired rather more by Marx, Lenin, and personal ambition even if Yaroslavksy's account is true. While the book is real, the only other references to it on the web seem to be in creationist literature. Stalin's "Darwinism" didn't keep him from promoting Lysenko, who favored a form of Lamarckianism which would have shocked Darwin, who already knew better.

Do you have any arguments that aren't based on ignorance and illogic?

Well, at least it's not answering with a question as you did to my post 231. :-)

But since, you want an answer to 269, I'll say, "no."

Well, no, at least not specifically about rejecting Christ, If Yaroslavksy is right.

I wasn't making an argument. I was describing an event.
