mcpng Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 but then, tolstoy is a Christian. And then again, so was Dostoevsky, who gave us the Grand Inquisitor. Makes me wonder again, why wasn't Dostoevsky an atheist (or at least ex-christian)? It's like he just missed a little push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
