So... the First Great Atheist Holy War, who's up for it?

[bhakta]

Some might beg to differ that this little bit of fun should be called the FIRST Great Atheist ideological War. However I appreciate I shouldn't believe everything I read on Wikipedia.

"Stalin followed the position adopted by Lenin that religion was an opiate that needed to be removed in order to construct the ideal communist society. To this end, his government promoted atheism through special atheistic education in schools, widespread anti-religious propaganda, the antireligious work of public institutions (especially the Society of the Godless), discriminatory laws, and also a terror campaign against religious believers. By the late 1930s it had become dangerous to be publicly associated with religion.

Stalin's role in the fortunes of the Russian Orthodox Church is complex. Continuous persecution in the 1930s resulted in its near-extinction as a public institution: by 1939, active parishes numbered in the low hundreds (down from 54,000 in 1917), many churches had been leveled, and tens of thousands of priests, monks and nuns were persecuted and killed. Over 100,000 were shot during the purges of 1937–1938" Wikipedia

I know some argue that Stalin was in fact a closet believer. However during the period of the purges there seems little doubt he was an athiest and even later during the war when he softened his approach ....."The CPSU Central Committee continued to promote atheism and the elimination of religion during the remainder of Stalin's lifetime after the 1943 concordat.[291] Stalin's greater tolerance for religion after 1943 was limited, and persecutions resumed at the end of the war, although on a lesser scale than had been existent in the 1930s. For these reasons it is unlikely that Stalin had changed his atheistic rejection of religion during this last portion of his lifetime" Wikipedia

Obviously, you'd be free to eat them if you so chose.

I just want their wine and crackers.

Wait 'till the high priest is finished casting his magical ~ spell over them, that way they're also the flesh and blood of the Baby Jesus himself.

What does the cheese become?

[Don't Panic]

OK.... third time lucky. Who's up for this?

Been there, done that, bought a tank.


But that's a whole other story.

I'm a kind of divide and conquest kind of guy, so I propose we piss off the muslins and the christians with each other, by telling them that the others god has the biggest dick. After they have culled their numbers then we just mop up the rest of the retards. Simples:-)

Muslins always seem to cause a lot of collateral damage though.

I think.... if we all killed 7 religious people each, we'd be cool. Maybe 6 each if we left the Buddhists. What do you think?

Definitely leave the Buddhists and Pastafarians.
I will gladly kill many people of faith. Messy and cold blooded murders! Can I kill more than 7?

[DaveDodo007]

Can I kill more than 7?

There's no need to be greedy. :sighsm:
