   Hitler's faith in his supermen, and Mao's faith in his little Red book   
   do look decidedly irrational and did seem to involve quasi-religious   
   ceremonial. Stalin's murderous campaign against the kulaks

   looks more like a pogrom than anything remotely rational.   
   The Kim's don't seem to be deliberately decimating the North Koreans -   
   they just want all the resources devoted to developing and building   
   better weapons.

   You weren't raised a Catholic and befriended by a paedophile priest.   
   I went to a Presbyterian boarding school and didn't form a high opinion   
   of the school's headmaster's moral character, ordained clergyman though   
   he was. Nothing sexual, but the schools financial interests dominated   
   his thinking. His son was in the running for election as Victoria's   
   attorney general until he was caught making a false declaration to the   
   electoral commission.

   The huguenot massacres come to mind too.
