re: #295 The Sanity Inspector

I’m sorry, but how do you make the connection that it was the lack of god that led to those things being possible? The Aztecs, Egyptians, Mayans all found it simplicity itself to engage in mass slaughter and genocide because of religious backing.

I’m really unsure why Stalins democides and other travesties are often blamed primarily under atheism, or any credibility is given to the thought that if only they’d remained religious it would have prevented these things. Hitler found it perfectly easy to use a bizarre pseudo-Christian mystical bunch of claptrap to back up his genocides. Why would religion have interfered with Stalin?
