      TIL castro was an antithiest

      I will not speak of him as if he were absent, he has not been and he will never be. These are not mere words of consolation. Only those of us who feel it truly and permanently in the depths of our souls can comprehend this. Physical life is ephemeral, it passes inexorably… This truth should be taught to every human being – that the immortal values of the spirit are above physical life. What sense does life have without these values? What then is it to live? Those who understand this and generously sacrifice their physical life for the sake of good and justice – how can they die? God is the supreme idea of goodness and justice

      I wouldnt speak for everyone, im not an anti-thiest, im agnostic.

      We only align with progressive theists because the enemy of our enemy (capitalism) is our ally.

      Hakim mentions about one of the mistakes of former socialist nations is the repression of religious practice. Religion may never disappear fully, but it does more harm to suppress progressive theists’ freedom of religious expression as it can lend reactionaries power but also misses the opportunity to use religion as a powerful tool to demonstrate its compatibility with socialist ideals. As many arguments are antitheist in this thread, I am curious about people’s perspectives on this point.

      I’m agnostic, btw.
