Excellent question.....I don't deny that the Soviets wanted to crush the power of the church. Was that their only target? I would have thought their targets also included White Russians, those that Stalin was afraid would supplant him (fellow atheistic communists) and a lot of people died simply because Stalin got it into his crazy head that they were somehow a threat (also fellow communists)So you will go on record saying that the Soviets and ComChinese killed people because they were religious...not because of politics.You kidding? The Church was THE primary threat to communism, and they knew it. Atheism is REQUIRED in communism. Otherwise you will look elsewhere in your needs other than the government.Quick question...were the Soviets and ComChinese killing people in the name of atheism?
What political reason is there to rounding up a church and shipping off its membership to the gulag?
So...are you asserting that the millions upon millions the Soviets killed were church goers?
And what about the ChiComs?
Yes. Atheist progressive politicians both hate and fear the religious people in their countries so feel compelled to murder them. The overwhelming majority of those murdered in the gulags were simple peasants. Have you never read Solzhenitzyn?
