Since then I have spent well-nigh fifty years working on the history of
our Revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected
hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight
volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by
that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as
possible the main cause of the ruinous Revolution that swallowed up some
sixty million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to
repeat: Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened.

What is more, the events of the Russian Revolution can only be
understood now, at the end of the century, against the background of
what has since occurred in the rest of the world. What emerges here is a
process of universal significance. And if I were called upon to identify
briefly the principal trait of the entire twentieth century, here too, I
would be unable to find anything more precise and pithy than to repeat
once again: Men have forgotten God."

Yup!

As I see it, the problem is not god, it is religion and what man does in
the name of what or who he believes is god. The world, I believe, would
be far better off without what we call religion.
Sex with a minor child at 13, hanging with the mafia at 16, mandatory
aborting of any child with a birth defect; those are your morals
(actually lack of morals) which have shaped who you are now.

You are your own god with your own religion, which you attempt to force
upon others.

You've bested his supposed low morals with your own.

Low morals? Hehehe.

That's really a giggle coming from a dirtbag like flajim.

Hey, I'll admit to having underaged sex when I was underaged, and I'll
admit to knowing some "made" guys. The latter had higher moral standards
than today's "Christian conservatives."

I've never advocated "mandatory" abortions for any reason.

These poor deranged leftovers from their failed war in Vietnam...they've
never adjusted.
