Reply #11: Some people want/need to be racist pricks.

Does that mean we have to pat them on the back and say have a good life?

Some people want/need to be conservative fuckheads. Does that mean we should never talk ill of the Republicans.

But the interesting part of your current thread is something people haven't talked about yet. So stalinism is the ultimate end to a non-religious government? Stalin didn't have a few other, greater, problems than his desire for government to be free of religion? I am not denying that he was an atheist. But the brutality you speak of seems to be a result of him being a completely crazy douchebag. The millions of deaths seem to be a result of him being an absolutely shitty manager or resources. Did he kill in the name of atheism? Did his atheism cause him to kill? I'll give you he killed some religious leaders, but not a huge number compared to the Holocaust, which was clearly a result of a theist.
