Pretty sure this has been covered before ExciteBike66 Feb 2019 #1
I already covered much of this, but focusing in China as more current. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #11
Your argument was no less nonsensical Major Nikon Feb 2019 #32
OK. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #43
Not this shit again Major Nikon Feb 2019 #2
You know you're on shaky ground when you go-to argument is... Act_of_Reparation Feb 2019 #10
LOL trotsky Feb 2019 #14
No "u"? I think it reads just as well without any, actually... Glorfindel Feb 2019 #28
atheist is a personal belief. there is not an athiest religion or regime. nice try tho nt msongs Feb 2019 #3
The purges were as means of control, not supression of a contradictory belief system. 3Hotdogs Feb 2019 #4
All of these things are about control zipplewrath Feb 2019 #7
Explain that to the millions of dead theists. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #12
Soviet purges also killed atheists. trotsky Feb 2019 #15
Whataboutism? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #17
Yes, and they purged atheists. trotsky Feb 2019 #19
This was about intolerant and violent atheists. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #21
So if they were motivated by atheism, why did they also kill atheists? trotsky Feb 2019 #22
Where did you read that? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #23
"This was about intolerant and violent atheists." trotsky Feb 2019 #25
You made a claim. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #40
I claim that you think atheism motivated them. trotsky Feb 2019 #48
Sorry, your claim is refuted by my actual words. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #50
I am fully willing to admit my error. trotsky Feb 2019 #70
What I said: guillaumeb Feb 2019 #81
"I cannot say what motivated them" trotsky Feb 2019 #83
Well, if I say one thing and you insist that I "really" meant the opposite, guillaumeb Feb 2019 #85
Your posting history makes your beliefs clear to everyone. trotsky Feb 2019 #88
Ah yes, the "everyone" fallacy. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #90
Ah yes, the "small group" fallacy. trotsky Feb 2019 #92
Again, trying to call a small group "everyone". guillaumeb Feb 2019 #96
Your link goes to an OP that does indeed exhibit whataboutism, which is definitely... trotsky Feb 2019 #99
You reveal much. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #100
Indeed I do. trotsky Feb 2019 #103
Congratulations on your openness. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #106
I am not interested in your red herring about my private conversations with you. trotsky Feb 2019 #109
"the quest" guillaumeb Feb 2019 #111
Thanks! trotsky Feb 2019 #113
Even better. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #115
That's your line. trotsky Feb 2019 #116
You outdo yourself. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #117
I'll hand-deliver it to you. trotsky Feb 2019 #118
The ultimate in justice is forgiveness. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #119
Then why do you continue to dehumanize others? trotsky Feb 2019 #120
Oh and LITERALLY everyone can click on each of these links to see your consistent behavior. trotsky Feb 2019 #94
How could they be motivated by atheism? Major Nikon Feb 2019 #33
That was never said. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #41
So they weren't motivated by atheism Major Nikon Feb 2019 #44
Because they are atheists. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #45
You can certainly rule out some things Major Nikon Feb 2019 #46
I described one aspect of Stalin. His atheism. eom guillaumeb Feb 2019 #49
And you keep trying to connect those dots without ever managing to do so Major Nikon Feb 2019 #56
You might not see a connection. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #59
Yeah, but that was never said, right? Major Nikon Feb 2019 #60
Well since he was a Communist and he said his goal was to force collectivation marylandblue Feb 2019 #54
Explain that to the millions of dead atheists Major Nikon Feb 2019 #38
So genocide of indigenous peoples by Christians just gets swept under the rug? MineralMan Feb 2019 #5
Whataboutism? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #13
Again, for pete's sake. MineralMan Feb 2019 #18
Sorry that it needed to be pointed out. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #20
Just as I said, in my edit, which was done while you were posting. MineralMan Feb 2019 #29
I wonder, should we start picking on all his typos? trotsky Feb 2019 #30
But, see, he thinks we already do, because someone laughed at MineralMan Feb 2019 #31
An admission? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #51
Nope. Don't take it literally. MineralMan Feb 2019 #58
Wow, you really do believe in your conspiracy theories. trotsky Feb 2019 #72
And you amaze me at times. eom guillaumeb Feb 2019 #82
You personally insult everyone who disagrees with you every time you post about... trotsky Feb 2019 #84
Interesting use of straw on your part to construct the figure you wish to oppose. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #86
Again, you judge and you dispense eye-for-an-eye justice. trotsky Feb 2019 #87
No, I am noting the obvious. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #91
Projection indeed, gil. trotsky Feb 2019 #93
But do you? eom guillaumeb Feb 2019 #95
I'll let readers be the judge. trotsky Feb 2019 #97
So you refuse to answer the question. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #98
"So you refuse to answer the question." trotsky Feb 2019 #101
Read my last sentence. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #102
Again, irony is dead. trotsky Feb 2019 #105
Hyperbole is never dead in your responses. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #108
OK, let's play this game. trotsky Feb 2019 #110
"directed by another"? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #112
And an interesting evasion to my question. trotsky Feb 2019 #114
Look at all this "straw": trotsky Feb 2019 #89
Laughing at yourself? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #42
Again, Nope. MineralMan Feb 2019 #63
What would the ability to laugh at oneself require? eom guillaumeb Feb 2019 #64
Just a mirror, Guy. Just a mirror. MineralMan Feb 2019 #66
Speaking from experience? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #67
Sure. My father told me, MineralMan Feb 2019 #68
Agreed. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #69
LOL, the OP is an exercise in Whataboutism. Mariana Feb 2019 #24
Bingo. n/t trotsky Feb 2019 #26

Hitler was a Christian. Mariana Feb 2019 #16

I know, but... NeoGreen Feb 2019 #75
Fair enough. Pope George Ringo II Feb 2019 #76

I'm worried they have plans to... NeoGreen Feb 2019 #80
Mostly they used religions playbook Major Nikon Feb 2019 #37
Thank you. Duppers Feb 2019 #39
I don't think anyone ever said atheism was "perfect" either. trotsky Feb 2019 #8
"My faith commands me to..." Major Nikon Feb 2019 #34
Exactly. MineralMan Feb 2019 #35
LOL Act_of_Reparation Feb 2019 #9
None of the atheists I know approve of that behavior or anything like it. Dark n Stormy Knight Feb 2019 #36

Stalin had a mustache. He killed a lot of people without mustaches, and some with. Pope George Ringo II Feb 2019 #47
One of these is not like the other... Snackshack Feb 2019 #52
Your conjecture is deeply flawed. procon Feb 2019 #53
The figure is highly unreliable muriel_volestrangler Feb 2019 #57
