Or maybe he's pointing out the irony of communists treating their leaders as demi Gods? Gee... These Stundie nominators themselves seem worthy of the concept of rewarding stupîdity. Lifting quotes out of context is such fun.

You obviously haven't read epix. He really doesn't understand the concept of atheism.
While equating communism with atheism isn't bright, it is a popular misconception among some groups of christian conservatives. There is not much wrong with the quote by itself, there is a certain irony to be found in communists treating their leaders as demi Gods.

It goes well beyond equating communism with atheism for epix. He (she? I'm not sure) simply can't fully grasp the concept of atheism.

Like personality cults sometimes don't blend with religion.
In keeping with the modern mythologies that pervades North Korea's version of history, it is alleged that Kim Jong-il was born on Mount Paektu at his father's secret base in 1942 (his actual birth was in 1941 in the Soviet Union) and that his birth was heralded by a swallow, caused winter to change to spring, a star to illuminate the sky, and a double rainbow spontaneously appeared.[27] (...) Over the course of his life, the government issued numerous propaganda reports of the great accomplishments achieved by Kim Jong-il, such as that he could walk and talk before the age of six-months;[30] (...) After his death, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said that layers of ice ruptured with an unprecedentedly loud crack at Chon Lake on Mount Paektu and a snowstorm with strong winds hit the area

Demi God seems a correct description.

Your bigger mistake was confusing Lance Armstrong whom got their title removed with Neil Armstrong. What title did Neil have that could be taken away? He was an astronaut, that's not a title it's a profession.
First man on the moon? They stripped this title seven times, one for each step on the moon he allegedly made.

Not a title, either.

Never happened. Also, he took way more than seven steps on the moon.
I submit that he's not a sportsman for having cheated to become a champion. That flies in the face of true sportsmanship.

Why don't I put all of you (except Jim_MDP) out of your misery? I was pretty annoyed in the original thread that I'm accused of being a moon landing denier by TrustButVerify. All the rest of the accusations by him were more or less true. So I thought, why not make TrustButVerify fully correct?
I'm surprised it went on for this long. Proves Poe's law IS correct.

I believe the Stundie is for the oxymoron "atheist demi-god".

Some context needed on that one: the countries with better life expectancy/infant mortality generally have higher vaccination rates.

Skeptic not Atheist
I think that's the Stundie.
North Korea's government exercises virtual total control over society and imposes the cult of personality of Kim Jung Il and Kim Il Sung, described as a political religion. Their ideology has been described as "state-sanctioned atheism".[80]

O my God, you have found an error in Wikipedia. It is an oxymoron, they can't both be possibly true. Quickly go and edit wikipedia before the very fabric of the space time continuum unravels and the universe explodes too due to these two mutually exclusive concepts being in the same place.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_atheism#North_Korea
