Yes, but it seemed that your point was that atheists exhibited warlike tendencies towards religious institutions, and you used Stalin as an example. I gave you evidence that Stalin was not an atheist, even if he found that, as the leader of a country, religion was bad for his people. At that point, it becomes a point of policy, not of personal beliefs. --MarkTraceur --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
