Stallman vs...Stallman vs...Posted Oct 8, 2008 7:12 UTC (Wed) by gvy (guest, #11981)Parent article: Stallman vs. Clouds (Linux Journal)
What surprises me is that RMS tells he's atheist but actually fights those who would prefer God (and freedom to choose given to us) to be an obsolete fairy tale... what wouldn't surprise is if one day he moves to Russia -- where these very core values of being able to decide for one's self were always above the formal law.
Folks who moved from xSU to US reported that the latter is currently plagued by the very same syndrome as the former: "big brother" and no real freedom ('cause it's dangerous and uncontrollable when people can actually think and decide). Good luck, and hope things bode well at least for some of us all.

Why the surprise? He's an atheist, and _consequently_ he considers religion to be a fairy tale. Pure logic. Agreeing or not with him is _your_ choice.
Regarding "big broder", it's the same where ever there's someone in power. That's why you should always keep an eye on the people at charge, and be ready to oppose them. Fortunately looks like, in some places, there are means to do this without actually resorting to a armed civil conflict.
Sorry for the off-topic.
Stallman vs... Posted Oct 8, 2008 16:47 UTC (Wed) by gvy (guest, #11981) [Link] You misread or misunderstood me. Those who fight real religion also fight real freedom; e.g. Muslim one is more "real" than plastic Protestantism -- it has way more to do with conscience. And in Russia, we still have Orthodoxy (and miracles as well).It's offtopic too, but only if one doesn't want to have a bit more integral look at scary stuff that happens around us and often with our own help. Probably next tart^H^H^Hime I'd better suggest Richard some footage shot on a mobile in Jerusalem on a Saturday before Easter, it's quite curious for a scientist (/me being M.Sc. in Chemistry)...
