Haha! Thanks Valjean. :)

I see your religion is Vedanta (reform). Can you give me a summary about it please? Or should I rather go to a DIR?

Welcome.
Should have said 'a lot' is two words maybe, but didn't want to to come across as patronising? Oh well.

Stalin was actually Georgian and studied to become a Priest. The Russians used to mock his accent.

Ah! Grammar Nazi! I actually noticed that as soon as I posted the message but was too lazy to change it. But now that you brought it to peoples attention.....

If Stalin studied to become a priest then was he really an atheist (since that is what I hear and read often)?

Georgia borders Azerbaijan, on the North.
There -- that makes two facts.
Happy?:D

So he seems to have had a change of belief (or lost belief) at one point.
The stream of Communism he followed was against religious belief and his reading of Darwin sealed the deal for him. He used to smuggle in banned (Communist) literature to his seminary, constantly beating a suspicious Priest he and his friends knew as the 'Black Spot'.

Anyway! Glad to have you here.

Yes, he was. He also read and enjoyed Darwin's 'Origin of Species'.
One of our greatest works of anti-God propaganda.
(Satan himself wrote the forward.)

Another funny story is that when Stalin was trying to convince one of his friends to become an atheist he had a hard time. Later the friend came back and said he'd lost his faith and Stalin, pleased, asked why. The friend said,
"Well if hell exists that means eternal fire exists, but that would require endless logs and how could endless logs exist?"
Stalin --> :facepalm:

True story!

If a dumb reason leads to atheist conversion,
then it's a great reason. Go dumb!
