following passage? In an e-text of Dostoyevsky's _The Brothers Karamazov_ from Project Gutenberg, the following passage appears:
>>>>>>>>
‘We are not particularly afraid,’ said he, ‘of all these socialists, anarchists, infidels, and revolutionists; we keep watch on them and know all their goings on. But there are a few peculiar men among them who believe in God and are Christians, but at the same time are socialists. These are the people we are most afraid of. They are dreadful people! The socialist who is a Christian is more to be dreaded than a socialist who is an atheist.’
>>>>>>>>
Miüsov was quoting someone with whom he spoke in France, but why was Christian socialism considered such an evil?
For what it's worth, I copied the quote from the Plain Text UTF-8 version at
