Mexican revolutionary and political figure Plutarco Elías Calles came from dire poverty and a dysfunctional family, his father was a severe alcoholic who never married his mother, and he got involved in politics at an early age. A supporter of reformist President Francisco I. Madero, who appointed him Commissioner of Police, Calles took to politics like a duck to water, and it wasn't long before he had risen up through the ranks to become an army general. He was commander of the federal army in his home state of Sonora during the Mexican Revolution, and his forces defeated those of another Mexican revolutionary, Pancho Villa, at the Battle of Agua Prieta in 1915. He was eventually made governor of Sonora and gained a reputation as a fervent reformer, concentrating especially on the rights of workers, he gave them the right to collective bargaining, which they never had, and instituted a social security program, among other things. However, his reformist policies incurred the wrath of Sonora's wealthy and powerful landowners, known as "hacendados", and their allies in the upper echelons of the Catholic Church, all of whom fought his efforts at every turn. Eventually relations between Calles and the Church deteriorated to the point where he expelled all Catholic priests from Sonora.

In 1919 Calles was appointed Secretary of Commerce, Industry and Labor by President Venustiano Carranza. Unfortunately for Carranza, Calles paid him back by allying himself with Gen. Álvaro Obregón, who overthrew Carranza the next year. Obregon thanked Calles for his support by naming him head of the Interior Ministry, the agency whose responsibilities included internal security and intelligence gathering. Calles used his position to secure the support of organized labor for the government, and to that end allied himself with the Laborist Party. In 1924 Calles ran for President and won.

As president he established several banks whose sole purpose was to help the poorest of the country's campesinos (farmers) and peasants. He also founded the Banco de Mexico, which eventually became the country's largest bank. A trip to Europe exposed him to the policies of the "social democracy" movement, and when Calles returned to Mexico one of his first acts was to push for land reform. It was a fact of life in Mexico that almost all of its land was owned by a small number of extremely wealthy and powerful families (the Terrazas family, for instance, owned more than one million acres in Chihuahua state alone), which resulted in a virtually feudal system of sharecropping and near slavery for most of the rest of the people. Calles' government managed to get foreign banks and countries to forgive some of Mexico's crushing debt. He also reformed the country's civil and criminal codes.

Calles' administration came into conflict with the US government on several issues, one of them relating to the large holdings held by American oil companies. Mexican law stated that all minerals and other valuable substances under the soil belonged to the state, which meant that underground oil reserves were under the control of the Mexican government rather than the oil companies; they didn't like that a bit, since it could conceivably give the government justification for nationalization of the country's oil reserves. Calles announced that he intended to enforce that part of the Mexican legal code, which other Mexican governments had not done, and reaction from American government officials was immediate, he was branded a Communist by the American ambassador and the Secretary of State threatened an invasion of Mexico if the law, known as Article 27, was enforced. In 1927 Calles' government canceled the operating licenses of oil companies that refused to comply with Article 27, and there was talk of war in Washington circles. However, when the ultra-right-wing American ambassador to Mexico, a political appointee, was replaced by a more experienced diplomat who began negotiations with Mexico on the subject, tensions eased and an agreement acceptable to both sides was reached.

Calles' old nemesis, the Catholic Church, was still causing trouble for him, however. In 1926 he decided to put an end to his problems with them once and for all and had legislation passed called "The Law Reforming the Penal Code" but was commonly known as "The Calles Law". Among other things, it deprived the Church of the right to own property (its considerable landholdings were a source of much of its revenue), outlawed religious orders and exempted the clergy from many rights enjoyed by Mexican citizens, such as trial by jury and the right to vote. The Church, on its part, noted that Calles was a Freemason and accused him and his administration of being involved in a Freemason conspiracy to destroy the Church. This campaign struck a chord in deeply religious Mexico, especially in the more conservative areas, the equivalent of the US "Bible Belt" in the South, and in 1926 a revolt known as The Cristero War broke out. The fighting was marked by atrocities on both sides, with, as usual, innocent civilians bearing the brunt of most of them. It was estimated that about 100,000 people died in the fighting before a truce, negotiated by the American ambassador, was signed in 1929. However, Calles decided not to honor the terms of the truce and after the Cristeros had surrendered and laid down their arms, he mounted an offensive that resulted in almost 6,000 of them, including more than 500 of their leaders, being arrested and shot. He also took education out of the hands of the Church and replaced it with a public education system as a way of avoiding what he had termed the "indoctrination" of Mexican youth by the Church. The war also took a toll on the country's priests, approximately 4,000 were shot or expelled from the country. By 1934 there were less than 350 priests in all of Mexico, a country of more than 15 million.

In 1928 former president Obregon was elected President to succeed Calles, but before he took office he was assassinated by a Catholic zealot. Calles then appointed himself "Jefe Maximo", or Supreme Chief. The next year Calles founded his own political party, the National Revolutionary Party (PNR). It would eventually morph into the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which would rule Mexico for the next 70 years. Calles appointed others as "President", but they were just frontmen; he held the real power. The government grew increasingly authoritarian. It stopped land reform and redistribution and banned strikes, infuriating its supporters in the powerful labor movement.

In 1934 he picked Lázaro Cárdenas, an old political ally, to be his presidential candidate, believing that he could control Cardens as he had the others. However, after Cardenas became President he showed that he had no intention of being Calles' puppet. Conflicts erupted between the two over a variety of issues, such as Cardenas' support for labor unions, his endorsement of strikes and his opposition to Calles' increasing reliance on the use of private militias, modeled on Adolf Hitler's Nazi "storm troopers", to ferret out and crush opposition.

Cardemas turned out to be a formidable opponent, and set about to systematically isolate Calles from his political base and support. He removed powerful Calles allies from important government positions. Eventually Cardenas forced Calles out of power, and he went into exile in the US. In 1941 he was allowed back into Mexico and divided his time between Mexico City and Cuernavaca. Calles died in Mexico in October of 1945.

Just Google and see how athiests through history target religious men and Christians and even educational intellectuals for death. All I am saying is, some people are born evil and they would hide under any umbrella that suits them to carry out their evil deeds. Religion or not.

He can be referenced as a " bad example", while in discussion.

Calles was a Freemason. Freemasons are not atheists. part of the requirements for u to become a mason is that you must declare a believe in a supreme being.

You had to skip the part where a religious zealot murdered an innocent man, right?

whatever calles did was not based on any atheistic value.

Brother 4kings , the post addresses the wickedness of atheists . The same way atheists open threads condemning the Inquisition ( I condemn it too though ) .

But you see bro , the difference between atheism and Christianity is that doctrine in Christianity deprecates moral turpitude unlike atheism . That's why Christians can condemn the Inquisition because its against the teachings of Christ . But what reason do atheists have to condemn it?

Its inhuman to kill people because of their beliefs ? The communists did worse - they killed religious people (believers in God) because of their beliefs . The atheists justified their wickedness with this - they believed man , not God determines what is right or wrong .

So to that Mexican president who carried out this pogrom against the Priests , he did the right thing . Do you see how dangerous atheism is ? You as an atheist decides what is right or wrong - its arbitrary most times .

Atheism is the disbelief in any Deity! Most of the teachings in the Bible were copied from earlier books of philosophy that mostly were penned down by atheists and non Christians.

Religion doesn't dictate the societal more Justice. we've had moral guidance way before religion.

Joshua 6vs20-21

When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city.
They devoted the city to the LORD and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it--men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys

Christianity is the origin of mass murder

That explains why atheists have no moral compass .

The Jewish were a people who refrained from allowing pagan myths to invade their culture.

I'm not saying religion dictates moral laws , I'm saying that God is the supreme authority that decides what's good or bad . Since atheists deny this , they subscribe to subjective morality .

Yeah right! Like He did in the old testament when he ordered children to be killed right?

Deists can interact with God . And have a personal/transpersonal relationship with God .

Without religion , Enoch , Noah and even papa Abraham walked with God .

Its funny how a Christian is more cognizant of your beliefs than you

imagine for one minute how the world would look like if we have deities dictating what is good and bad....the confusion.. the chaos.

Even amongst Christian, there are hundreds of thousands of denominations each with his own idea of what his deity says is good and bad!

This is NOT my belief.
Interaction does not make any sense, that's not deistic.
I know you might try to bring examples of those that claim there are deist and subscribe to this "interaction", but that's another belief(theism) entirely.
Aristotle is a good example.

For God's sake how can a deist interact with God, and still holds his stance of "non interventionist".

@4kings

Interaction with God does not mean He intervenes .

KingEbukasBlog:

That's the thing about me, I didn't read about deism, before I took the label, I just discovered that the label was in line with my personal beliefs, ( when I was reading about Aristotle, was when I first heard the word "Deism" )

If "interaction" however is a tenet of deism, then I think that label is not suitable for me.
Maybe everyone should from now just call me a freethinker.

Christians do not condemn all the genocides carried out inside the bible. Why condemning the inquisition but refuse to condemn the actions of Moses, Josuah etc?

Like you atheists are any different. An atheist once wrote here that demons do exist and are tremble at the name - Jesus.

I have been researching links and behavioral patterns found among atheists especially the new atheists and i have compiled a list of 99/100 atheists who were extremely popular and who all shared the same trait of depression, hatred, murderous tendencies, Absolute power and intolerence.

This is a case of "use your tongue to count your teeth"

If you honestly go through Nairaland the most bitter and venom filled people are atheists. Angry at everyone for everything , Blaming everyone else but never themselves and using anything to insult and ridicule including personal details like deaths in ones family etc.

This shows that the issue of empathy or understanding or concern is something which somehow has been degraded in them even though they may deny it but we are seeing it glaringly playing out.

Some of them which you may have come across here on NL have shown genocidal tendencies by wishing death and extinction upon humanity. These ones have no access to ways of achieving this yet but imagine if they did and if they continue with this rambling while in possession of the means of achieving their ideology.

This thread and subsequent ones i will be posting about murderous atheists should serve as a mirror for self examination to all atheists. A lot of them are youths here on NL and its either they joined it so as to seek support for their youthful rebellion or they are having emotional tantrums but that is how it starts. Eventually for some it would go beyond hatred for family and friends to hatred for everyone who does not agree with their worldview and such is the mind suitable for crazy thoughts of kill, eliminate, destroy to dwell in.

Atheism is like a Ship which says it has no need for its anchor so is now free in a turbulent ocean. It would be ripped in pieces and tossed about by every wave and current. Everyone needs control and atheism does not offer that. It offers destructive liberty not just to themselves but to every other person.

If an atheist can target a united states president then its a serious matter. He was not the only atheist who assassinated a united states president. As i reveal more on other posts i will keep tagging you.

Hmmm.

No suprises tho.
When some people say morality is subjective.
You can only but run away from them.

This is why its dangerous. Its unpredictable as they have nothing morally holding them back besides the laws of the state. However if those laws can be circumvented they would gladly do so.

An atheist told me here on NL that he would rape and steal if there was no law enforcement or cctv cameras to capture him. I have never forgotten his comment till this day.

I think this is subjective.
Where behavior, parenting and other normal social stuff are factors.
One could also research on Christian assassins, but that's no cause for generalization.

Take someone like Zuckerberg or President José Alberto, they don't look like one suffering from depression or hatred or trying to kill someone.

However, these are just my thoughts, after your posts, I need you to make detailed analysis of why all atheists are under the influence of what you mentioned.
