Khandro - "fender; They [the atheists on AB] won't read it..."
Wow. Your arrogance is both boundless and shameless, "... and even if they did, and as simple as it is, they won't understand it..."
Well, I can assure you Khandro (and fender) that I have read it and I did understand it. However, it is clear that at this juncture in this thread there is little to no value in continuing since you appear to be immune to logic, reason and evidence. Despite that, I shall leave you with a couple of quotes from the linked article on Stalin:
"... during World War II, Stalin eased up considerably on religion. He allowed for tens of thousands of Russian Orthodox churches to reopen, adopted an official policy of tolerance toward Muslims, and re-established the hierarchy of leadership in the Russian Orthodox Church. There were even rumors that Stalin had reconsidered his own personal relationship to religion when he took a “mysterious retreat” in 1941..." - ** Factually accurate **
and then immediately following on from the above quote,
"... But for all accounts and purposes, Stalin was a hardcore atheist until the day he died." - ** Speculative **
Do you see the difference? One statement can be proven by documentary evidence and backed up by historically verifiable texts and the other is simply a statement of opinion regarding Stalin's beliefs. I've said it before and I'll say it again - you have a fundamental lack of understanding about what atheism is. It is also clear that you utterly fail to see the difference between evidence and opinion. You seemingly conflate the two in your mind and then become confused as to which one is which.
