    The Bible supports people helping each other, not forced labor under an opressive, dictatorial government yolk led by a SINGLE despot, which is what communism is.

    Here is Marx's infamous critique of Hegel's view of Right:

    By all means, please cite the "pro-Christian" portions of the article; we won't hold our breath waiting, thank you...

    Really?

    There seem to be endless versions of Islam but it has been reported that the 72 virgins include boys for those so inclined.

    Romans 14:1-7

    The governments you speak of are Institutions of God, why be so critical of God's Plan?

    Your "pie chart" is wildly inaccurate, as well as your ridiculous attempt to define Christianity, based on your overwhelming ignorance of the topic.

    Marx was UNQUESTIONABLY anti-religion; to claim otherwise requires the kind of reality disconnect that typifies Lefthistory Revisinist Bullcrap.

    Its easy to laugh at things that you don't understand.

    But it is your own lack of understanding that you're laughing at, not God.

    Nothing funnier than non-Christians cherry picking passages of the Bible, and pretending to have a REMOTE CLUE as to what they mean.

    You haven't the FAINTEST IDEA what that verse means, or what Paul refers to.

    Hilarious.

    To reach that conclusion one would need to believe the Bible is correct. There are those who have faith in God (perhaps the bible also) There are those who have faith there is no God. There are those that believe Satan is the high power. There are those who simply don't care. There is one more small group that no one dares believe.

    Ooooh, problem is that Communism is defined. It didn't apply to the USSR and it certainly doesn't apply to the dictatorship of North Korea.

    But I see why you conservatives have a hard time grasping it. Especially when you declare Christian Hitler and the Nazis to be "socialists" because it was in their parties name. Which, come to think it, might be why you conservative tend to support and believe such ignorant right wing ideologies, you simply believe whatever you are told.

    Regardless the issue remains. Those nations are not, in any remote way, Communist. And atheism, as solely the lack of belief in deities, doesn't have a belief system or ideology or claims outside of simply having the lack of belief in deities.

    So...seems you're refuted on all fronts.

    Actually, no. That is the straw man version I was talking about.

    I don't need to quote Marx, I just quoted the bible. The communist ideal predates Marx by about 2000 years.

    It goes deeper than that.

    The fascist believed that government should control the wealth and direct it's use as the state sees best.

    That includes taking care of the common people and is the reason Nazi's called themselves socialist - because they were.

    You can remove the state from communism and it will still fail. Just much faster than without the iron fist.

    Hahaha, and the conservatives rush in to back up my point. Still going on about the Nazis being socialist. Cute XD

    I guess that makes China a right wing government then? Buahahahaha.

    Nazi's are socialists.

    Just a slightly different variety than those in Moscow or Havana or the White House.

    Just like the Apostles were communists. Just a different variety than Marx.

    LOL!!!
    Man the closest thing to fascism is conservatism!

    It's amazing how no one on the right even knows the meanings of the words that cause them to wet their skirts!

    I am not sure what you mean; our Founding Fathers, Ordained and Established our republican form of Government to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.

    It does not make it incompatible with a secular and temporal, Heaven on Earth where we no longer have any need for the Expense of government.

    To be honest I don't know enough about Buddhism to give you a Yes or No on that one.
    I'm referring to presumably a small group of people who need not believe theres a God. Require no faith in a God. Simply because they actually have expierienced a God.
    By expierience I do not mean sat down and had tea. Wether it be a burning bush or a monkey in a tuxedo I doubt anyone could make a description. IMO you do not meet God you expierience God, and its only on (its) terms when (it) seems fit.
    I'm sure many a preacher man would desire to expierence what I once did. Chances are slim. Religion did not seem to be much of a prerequisite before or after.

    Yes, I know I sound insane. So be it. It is what it was.

    Why should we give the Right a free pass for believing in a divine commune of Heaven while denying and disparaging a temporal and secular, commune of Heaven on Earth.

    Here it is explained well:

    [video=youtube;fEvq4yJZ3I8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEvq4yJZ3I8[/video]

    Even if a person isn't intelligent enough to understand the correlation between atheism and communism just from looking at recent history one can see a society with religion is better off than a society without religion.
