Their fury on religious topics makes it so hard to conclude whether Abelard and Heloise (sorry: saracene) hold any religious faith, or are atheists.

What do people think? Does saracene sound much like a rooks-in-the-elms Church-of-England person? Does saracene strike you as a catholic or a convert?

Their anticommunism implies a preference for capitalism, and both British and American capitalists side with the notion that their nation is a Christian nation.

Any comments?

Tell that to the devout!

Each religion has its martyrs who died rather then deny their God and some still ae dying.

Don't tell either them or me that there is no place for a God in their lives.

Your problem is that you pose a question that is beyond answer.

Do get a grip abletard. Just prancing around between
subjects does not mean you have a brain.

Thou shall not kill is written into cultures
and surprisingly into the genes of many
a diseases and parasites alike.

If you kill, or you kill your host, then it will affect
your own survival adversely.

Who knows, that person you just killed
could have been a doctor and could have saved your life.

Hmmm... philosophers have never killed a priest.
Some would have liked to have done "Let us strangle the last king with the guts of the last priest." (Diderot)

Mao Tse Tung certainly fancied himself as a philosopher. So did Stalin.

https://www.marxists.org/history/erol/sri-lanka/mao-2.pdf

Some Thoughts on Mao’s Philosophy
Comrade N. Sanmugathasan
Comrade Mao Tse-tung was not only a great Marxist-Leninist
revolutionary but also a great philosopher. It is not possible within the
scope of a single article to analyse all of Mao’s contributions to
philosophy. I shall try to dwell on one or two basic points of Mao’s
philosophy.
On Contradiction
One of Mao’s main philosophical works is his essay ‘On Contradiction’,
in which he deals with the universality of contradiction in men and matter
and how development takes place as a result of clash of the contradictions
that are always present. The first sentence of this essay states: “The law
of contradiction in things, that is, the law of the unity of opposites, is the
basic law of materialist dialectics”. It is a most profound statement.
Simply, this law means that motion is inherent in all forms of matter and
that motion, i.e. development, takes place as a result of the development
and clash of contradictions that are always present, and, further, between
the different aspects of each contradiction there is both identity and
struggle; and that, through the process of developing contradictions, a
thing or a phenomenon changes into its opposite. Thus, Comrade Mao
Tse-tung in one sentence explained the basic law of materialist dialectics.
A most systematic exposition of Marxist dialectics by one of the founders
of scientific socialism, Engels, is to be found in one of his most famous
works ‘Anti-Dühring’. This is a very important book because it refutes
all forms of fallacies spread so assiduously by Dühring. The most
important mistake of Dühring was that he had negated the law of
contradiction. He held that contradictions were only artificia etc etc

you want a vote to tell you what to believe?

you want a consensus? what if the vote is close?

or being a socialist, i s'pose you want to silence any dissent
from any majority you may find?

what is a 'religious stance'?

i have no 'fury'...you are therefore projecting that

what is 'faith'? what if a person believes 5%...or 22%....or 73%
what does 'believe' mean?
how will you detect how much or little or any, that anyone 'believes'?

communism/socialism kills by the 10s of millions and impoverishes
everywhere it takes root...

what has that to do with 'capitalism'?

do you mean by 'capitalism', materialism? marxist materialism
perhaps?

It all depends - note their reactions to definition of god:

God is a personal belief in a deity which that person wishes
to infect others with.

not my concern or business what others believe in unless
they are anti-social

what is a 'deity'?

is do believe that a good generalisation is that you're all mad

you have no way of knowing what anther person 'believes' in...
you only have their slippery words
