You are the one covered with filth here, and for that reason you can not see what was being referred to.
These people directly rejected Christ.
What can be plainer? Now try not to reject Him yourself!
A) I worked for the man you use in your screen name (B) I didn’t claim they were believers when they performed their evil atrocities and (C) last time I checked, the “Class of 2012” is still mostly on probation and doesn’t order anyone around. Verstehen?
We should remember who the real enemy is and work together.
Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, Paine all had different conceptions of God, but they all agreed that each had the right to be free to determine that conception for himself, without government coercion.
Rand attempted to reason as close to sanity as she could get.
She does have some glancing contempt for Christian principles, for example damning the idea of sacrifice per se. Without a genuine God with genuine bona fides to sacrifice to, sacrificing does not please reason. With a genuine God, it does please reason.
He referenced them being raised Catholic or Protestant. It’s you who has his head up his ass. Ass.
Is that an example of Christian love or of turning the other cheek? Help me out. As a witness for Christ, you're supposed to be the expert.
You are describing your own self when you talk about a head up a derriere.
They had formal intros to Christ! They turned on Him! Do you think every “raising religious” means a believer? If you do, maybe you think you are a believer because you were raised!
You impugn any religion to my face and you’ll get your answer jackass.
MIGHT be the difference between being raised religious and being a believer!
Some people, God help them, IDOLIZE RELIGION....
OHHHHHH.... so it’s RELIGION you revere?
That will send you to hell PDQ. Pharisees can testify to that!
>> Almost all of those men were raised either Catholic or Protestant, save for the Vietnamese individual and Mao.
The fathers to Mussolini and Hitler were not fans of organized religion — they were ‘anticlerical’. The two despots essentially rejected Christianity despite any late-term alliances adopted for reasons of survival.
Hitler was a weird case. He cobbled together a religious system that was focused on the POWER he could PERSONALLY GET. He didn’t care what that POWER wanted to do, or what kind of God/god it served. It ended up driving him mad with rage.
The eight-year-old Hitler took singing lessons, sang in the church choir, and even considered becoming a priest.

I think her idea was that the dead don't have a system of morality. If your morality can't help preserve you, then you won't be around to practice it.
It's a good point, but the continued existence of religions more than a thousand years old tells us her analysis was incomplete.
And yet, the saddest thing, apparently Christ’s redemption did not touch his soul. He was playing church. He ended up dabbling in the occult and it ended up pulling him in.
Well, she was talking about sacrifices short of death.
That kind of truncated what her world view might otherwise have been.
Don’t jerk off in public pervert.
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. ~Matthew 7:14
“You impugn any religion to my face ...”
There are many Muslims who are irrational, homicidal maniacs.
They are religious bigots with serious anger management problems.
What’s your answer?
And his mom was Catholic. I know. But he didn’t kill in the name of Christianity. It was atheism that facilitated and realized the evil that ran through his veins.
