What I loved about the Commies was their atheism – I always figured that if you don’t believe in an afterlife, you’d be less likely to do anything that would end your current existence prematurely. OTOH, those motivated by promise of a glorious afterlife, replete with the requisite number of undefiled maidens, have always scared the crap outa me since they were in a hurry to leave this earthly plane…taking me along with them. Sometimes I kinda miss the good old days of MADness.
