Does Wealth Impede One's Ability To Believe In a Higher Power

Where you get this from???? Kim Jong III, the leader of North Korea, hates religious figures and religions in general. There have been many leaders in history who wanted all religious displays outlawed, some of the communist leaders of the Soviet Union come in mind.

I think Stalin was/is the only known atheist that was a leader in Russia or the Soviet Union. You can add Mao and Pol Pot to your list, and a few shitty parliament members in England during the 70s.

But yeah that's why I'm said "I'm pretty sure." I knew there was at least one. But it was just a counter point

Couple of reasons why this theory fails:

Firstly, iron is one of the most common elements on Earth, accounting for nearly 1/3 of the Earth's mass (32.1%). So this would mean the meteor made of all iron, would have to weigh 32.1% of the present Earth's mass to be the source of all iron in the Earth (assuming the collision wasn't too elastic). A meteor weighing 32.1% of the Earth's current weight and 47.3% of the "pre-iron" Earth's weight would do much more damage than a mere extinction event.

Secondly, without iron to carry the necessary electrical currents for Earth's magnetic field to exist, the Earth would not have been protected from the Sun's solar winds. Under such deadly charged particle bombardment, life would not be able to be develop to the point it was prior to the K-T extinction event.

Thirdly, "Iron is pretty much essential to terrestrial planets in general.", it's not something that gets added for the first time billions of years after a terrestrial planet has already formed; especially without affecting the planet's orbit.

Fourthly, it's already known that the Earth was partially-composed of iron, billions of years before the dinosaurs existed.

Fifthly, that's a horrible theory, just horrible. One of the worst I've ever heard.

No need to argue, the theory fails on its own.

Muslim posters tend to get angry more often than the Christian posters. I guess they're just used to a culture where it's permissible to murder the non-believers, so when they find a civilized society, they can't handle it.

lmao !!!!!!!

What's so funny about the post I made? Christopher Columbus and Tamerlane were religious people.

given the tenets of Marxism it's likely he wasn't the ONLY one

Which is why I said "only known". I'm sure there have been hundreds of leaders who didn't believe in a higher power, just not many admit it.

i'm disagreeing in that i will bet there were multiple Soviet leaders to publicly profess something along those lines. i'm presuming Lenin and Bukharin at least agreed

Lenin never seemed atheist to me. Bukharin I have no idea on anything about him.
