I have only heard of one quote by Stalin saying there wasn't a God "You know, they are fooling us, there is no God... all this talk about God is sheer nonsense." - E. Yaroslavsky, Landmarks in the Life of Stalin

You would figure that if he was indeed leading a crusade against God and religion that he would have been quoted more often, now I just may not have found them and I'm not a history buff but if anyone has some more I would like to see them.

You honestly believe that during the height of the death camps in the 40's, that he was a devout, practising, believing Catholic? 🙄

Mohammed was a sincere muslim and he killed loads of people. People will always find some way to justify what evil they do.

It is refreshing to be able to switch from serious to facetious so quickly

It means that it was known for a fact that he was. Unlike Hitler, there is no debate as to the religious views of Stalin.

Honestly, do you not know what "confirm" means?

Islam says to kill non-believers. But in the Bible; "Thou shalt not kill" is pretty straight forward. So Mohammed was obeying his religion, where as Hitler (if even was still Catholic) was not.

Bad comparison, homes.

I know what “confirm” means; I’m asking how is he confirmed? I have seen claims that he wasn’t and that he was a spiritualist and others say that he wasn’t an Atheist so what make him a confirmed Atheist? People say that Hitler was an Atheist just like Stalin, just because you hate religion or want to see its removal from your country doesn’t make you an Atheist.

How can you hate religion and not be an Athiest? That's a blatan contradiction.

No it is not, there are many people that hate religion but believe in god, many people believe that organized religion is corrupt and distorts the word of god because it is lead by man, or you can hate religion because of what it has done to you but you still believe in god.

I didn't read the whole 8 pages of this thread and the subject seems to have shifted, but here's my answer anyway:

As an atheist, I actually take pride in the fact that I don't need a book or a mysteriously intangible being to tell me what I should and should not do.

Being an atheist doesn't make someone a misanthropist. (In my experience, it's more of the opposite.)
I love people. It would make me extremely miserable to knowingly inflict pain on someone else. And I don't like being miserable.
I would most definitely not be able to deal with the knowledge that I took someone else's life, especially on purpose, so I don't do it.
It's about as simple as that.

Buddhists need not apply, because I already know that you have a set code of morals and ethics. This thread is specifically directed at those of you on KMC (and there's quite a few) who have no religious preference.

I beieve killing is wrong because you're taking away someone's life, IE their oppurtunity to make a difference in this world. You never know what great things they could possibly do, so killing is wrong. However, killing is also right, but only if it's better for them to be dead, which cannot be known, so, best keep everyone alive as long as possible.

Except in the old testament where you have God specifically giving orders about how certain groups are to be wiped out. But just chalk that up to Biblical inconsistency.

I'm not athiest but I can speak for my boyfriend who is agnostic. Just because someone doesn't believe in "God" or anything like that, doesn't mean they automatically assume that since there is no "God" they can do whatever the hell they want. I know you weren't insinuating that, but I'm just saying. Seb abides by life's rules and knows what's right from wrong just like a person who believes in God would do. There are others in this world that are different, yes.

SelphieT you teasing like you do

I don't believe in g-d. But that doesn't mean I'm going to be a lunatic.

There is order in the world without g-d. And also, people like myself, have morals, and rules, and personal feelings. I could never kill a person randomly.
