Christianity is no more dangerous than Atheism

What were the religion and political views of Joseph Stalin? Stalin was raised devout in the church. His parents hoped he would become a priest. He became a suppressing Atheist instead. Stalin was a Marxist with his own slant on the philosophy, a slant he used to justify the killing of millions of Russians. http://hollowverse.com... One month during World War II, Joseph Stalin became worried that some of his military officers might challenge his total power, so he ordered the execution of 30,000 Russian officers, or half of the army and navy staff. As the war drew on, Stalin put through "Order 270," which decreed that all Russian soldiers and officers taken prisoner by the Germans were "traitors" and should be sent to the penal camps. Then, as the battles grew even more savage, he put through Order 227, which effectively said, "No one can retreat." articles.chicagotribune.com/1997-07-25/news/9707250034_1_thousands-of-polish-officers-battle Adolf Hitler was an Atheist. Evans wrote that Hitler repeatedly stated that Nazism was a secular ideology founded on science, which in the long run could not "co-exist with religion". https://en.m.wikipedia.org... Hitler goes down in my book as one of the most evil leaders of all time. The attempted mass killing of the entire Jewish and "non Aryan" race, I view as the most vicious war crime committed in the modern era. An eyewitness to the Holocaust shares his story. This is an excerpt from an interview of Alfred Schnog. (A child who witnessed the Holocaust) Article By: Si Cantwell The government confiscated the German arm of the Schnog family business, a metals import-export company. Alfred's father was forced to work for the Nazis, work deemed vital to the German war effort. The family avoided disclosing that they were Jewish. They lived undercover except when the kids were in school. Jewish children went to separate schools, taught by teachers who'd been fired for their religion. When school let out, the kids were often chased by Hitler Youth. "My brother and I learned to run very fast," Schnog said, adding that it was an advantage later, on the athletic fields of America. By 1938, his parents realized there was no future for the family in Germany. But it was hard to leave. During the Evian Conference of July 1938, the United States and other countries refused to greatly increase the numbers of Jews they would accept. Getting a visa to the United States was like winning a lottery, Schnog said. Finally, his father's business connections led to a job offer from the Netherlands. So on Nov. 9, 1938, a moving van pulled up to the Schnog house and the family went to spend the night at the Dom Hotel in Cologne before boarding a train to Amsterdam the next morning. "Boys, get up." It was their parents, shaking them awake. The boys stood behind drapes, in front of the second-floor hotel window looking out over a district of high-end shops, many owned by Jews. "The Brown Shirts were throwing rocks through the windows" and entering the stores, he recalled. "The merchandise clattered in the cobblestone street." "They were rioting and yelling curses at Jews," he said. "Boys, don't ever forget what you see here tonight," their parents said. http://www.starnewsonline.com... Creationism shows to be no more dangerous than Atheism. Christianity and Atheism both have their share of maniacs, making Christianity no more dangerous than Atheism. Perhaps it's insanity that is the problem and not Christianity.
