In fact, there is one sublime and pristine observational comment made by Karl Marx which kills all theistic religion dead in the water – never to be re-born again. This is a very different situation than simply deciding to be an atheist or non-theist, etc. Anyone can place their mind anywhere on an arbitrary scale that measures “belief” and “disbelief”. Hitler, for instance, had so many contradictory beliefs that it is obvious his thought processes were all over the place and lacked a proper anchoring in existential logic and reason. He ordered 800,000 ethnic Germans to be publicly executed (many beheaded with an axe) for disagreeing with his flaky thinking. As Hitler possessed “no original thought” – he was unable to produce any truly “original thinking”. Hitler simply spent his time recycling old hatreds in new ways, believed scarecrows were ancient fertility gods, declared June 21st New Year’s Day, and made sure his maniacal soldiers received a steady supply of performance enhancing amphetamines – drugs that enabled the wounded to keep fighting and the usually placid to be full of rage and anger.
