"...except in the case of rape or incest."

You miss the fact that atheism was a by product of totalitarian, communistic states. The goal was not to make people atheists, but to make them totally subserviant to the state. Atheism was just a tool choosen to do this, as those in charge of those states considered loyalty to anything other then the state (like a deity or church) to be a bad thing.Thus, to claim that communists are atheists zealots is absolutely incorrect. They were, at best, communist zealots who happened to be atheists.This differs from the many religious zealots in the world and in history who commit their atrocities with tthe main motivation being religious. See the difference?ABE: I see that the above has already been pointed out. No need to respond.This message has been edited by mikehager, 03-16-2006 04:17 PMThis message has been edited by AdminNosy, 03-16-2006 04:44 PM
