well, then I guess, based on what Lenin, Mao and Stalin did, that all atheists are mass murderers....

You're still scared of the Fascists? Nazi or Italian? The Crusades? And the Spanish Inquistition? And what did Father Coughlin do to your family? Or you, for that matter?

Why are they even in this discussion?

EH?

Oh. I know. Namecalling.

Got it.

uh, mr. alito is a self described "proud, devout catholic" - surely he must embrace the glorious past of the church. more importantly, the catholic church, at it's core, has had the same beliefs for 2,000 years. it was a cult at the beginning, and its a cult now.

(we'll get to the fascism later )
