Actually class struggle is exactly what it was. The Bolsheviks saw the clergy and the rabbinate as members of the bourgeoisie, preying on the working class ("opiate of the people"). The Russian Orthodox church was more than happy to align itself with the Whites, correctly seeing the Bolsheviks...

Don't kid yourself. 250k a year, pretax, is fabulous wealth by any realistic standard. The vast majority of people alive today will never know the luxury and comfort available with that sort of income. Any amount of wealth can be squandered, thrown away. But anyone who can't figure out a way...

I've been to Eastern Europe and I have no misconceptions. I'm not saying you're living in sub-Saharan Africa. Still, the lower cost of living pays for a lower standard of living. Most Americans, if they were actually faced with that tradeoff, would not take it. And most Eastern Europeans, given...

100 million is worldwide, not in Russia, and inflated at that. Based on my research, and the source I posted, even 40 million is a considerable overestimate of the number of Christians who died at the hands of Communists in Russia. However, I have no desire to minimize their suffering; in any...

Ratboy, you're making my point for me. Neither of those sources even mention the word Christian or Christianity. Nobody ever denied that the Communists killed a lot of people, or that a lot of them happened to be Christian. The question is whether their victims were killed because they were...

If y'all think the cost of living is so much lower elsewhere, why are you still here? You could take your skills and your family and your life savings and go to India to live the good life. More to the point, why are there so many Indian people living and working in the US? They must have...

That's because the Jewish Holocaust actually happened. If you really wish to deny that the Holocaust occurred, I will be more than happy to point you to overwhelming scholarly evidence. If you think there was a genocide of 40-60 million Christians in Russia, why can't you post any evidence to...

Yes, I did. As I already said, they do not contain any evidence to support your claim. If you disagree, feel free to argue your case. I would welcome an actual discussion of the merits of your genocide theory. Martin

Ratboy, your pitiful attempts to distract from your utter failure to document a genocide of 40-60 million Christians is going nowhere. You asked for numbers, I provided them. My source provides references to the original research in this area. I still don't see a shred of documentation for...

Here is a fully sourced and well documented account of deaths in both World Wars and in the Soviet Union. Guess what, you don't have to watch any videos. http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/warstat1.htm So, I'll make it easy on you. Just tell us which of those deaths make up the genocide of...

So, where's the evidence of a genocide of 40-60 million Christians in Russia? Those videos you posted don't say any such thing. Martin

Come on ratboy, show us the evidence. Or were you just running your mouth?

I know Obama's a smart guy, but you're saying he already had religious convictions when he was <i>born</i>? Precocious. By your logic, between 6 and 8 years old, he changed those carefully considered religious convictions to Catholicism while he attended Catholic school. At the ripe old age...

AAA, that's dumb even for you. Say my mother is Jewish and my father is Christian. I am deemed Jewish by the Jews, who are matrilineal, and Christian by the Christians, who are patrilineal. Am I both Jewish and Christian? Half and half? Should I get circumsized? Half circumsized? What the...

Still waiting for you to post some evidence for your hypothetical Christian genocide / holocaust in Russia. Tap tap tap.... Martin

I have already investigated and I know that you are wrong. I am waiting for you to figure it out for yourself. No hurry, take your time. I haven't said a single word in defense of Communists. Atheists I have no problem with. Martin

Post a link to the specific video that you believe substantiates your claim. I'm certainly not going to waste my time trying to find evidence for something that you invented. Martin

There was a genocide of 40 million Christians in Russia? Dude, seriously, nobody disputes it because nobody's even heard of it. You're inventing this out of thin air. Let's hear some historical details of your claimed genocide against Christians. In what time frame did this happen? Who...

Enough with the frickin' cards Ratboy, this isn't a soccer game. How about you play the history card and document your claims of genocide targeted at Christians in Russia killing 40 to 60 million people? I brought up that anti-Semitic web site because it is literally the only evidence I can...

Ratboy, there was no genocide of 40 to 60 million Christians in Russia. If you want to call that denial of history, you're going to have to present some historical evidence beyond your say-so. I just did a Google search on "russia christian genocide." The first 5 hits were about the Turkish...
