Mr. Delgado.

Well, to the effect that I believe there is a God or a Maker.

Mr. Liebeler.

You attend church regularly?

Mr. Delgado.

Yes; and in one instance he told me that God was a myth or a legend, that basically our whole life is built around this one falsehood, and things like that. I didn't like that kind of talk.

Mr. Liebeler.

Can you remember anything else that he said about religion?

Mr. Delgado.

No; outside of condemning anything that had to do with religion, you know. He laughed. He used to laugh at Sunday school, you know, mimic the guys that fell out to go to church on Sundays. He himself never went.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did he ever quote from the Bible or anything like that?

Mr. Delgado.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did he ever make fun of the Bible?

Mr. Delgado.

No. It was just being a good book, written by a few men, you know, that had gotten together and wrote up a novel. That's all. Outside of being a well-written book, there's no fact to it.

Mr. Liebeler.

But he didn't quote sections from the Bible just to show how wrong it was?

Mr. Delgado.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you talk to the FBI men about this question?

Mr. Delgado.

No. I don't think I did. They asked me about religion, and I told them he was an atheist. That's all.

Mr. Liebeler.

You don't remember telling them that Oswald used to quote from the Bible and show you how wrong it was and tried to make it look silly?

Mr. Delgado.

No. That was typical of him.

Mr. Liebeler.

But you have no recollection of him doing that?

Mr. Delgado.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you have any recollection of telling the FBI men he did that?

Mr. Delgado.

No; I don't.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now, this question of socialism, discussions of socialism that you had with Oswald: Did he compare that with the military life?

Mr. Delgado.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

What did he say about that?

Mr. Delgado.

Well, this is--military life is the closest to the Socialist way of life, where you had--let's see. How did he phrase it---everything was common or something like that.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did Oswald seem to think that socialism would be a good thing?

Mr. Delgado.

That's right, for people. If they worked for the military, they could work for everybody, instead of everybody being an individualist and just a few of them having--if they all got together in one common denominator, if everybody worked with the state owning everything, and everybody worked for the state.

Mr. Liebeler.

Oswald didn't really like the Marine Corps, did he?

Mr. Delgado.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

How could he say that socialism was like the military, and like socialism, and still hate the military?

Mr. Delgado.

He liked the life but hated the military. Some people love to be bossed around, you know, and told what to do. Yet, the same people may not like for certain individuals, let's say like Sergeant Funk, for instance, to tell them what to do.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you ever have the feeling that Oswald disliked discipline as a general proposition, or just individual people that told him what to do?

Mr. Delgado.

I would say discipline by certain individuals, you know. He used to take orders from a few people there without no trouble at all. Just a few people that didn't like him or he didn't like them, or he thought to be---he thought Funk to be too stupid to give him any kind of order. That was beyond his level. That was fact. This man was a complete moron, according to Oswald. Why should he, because he's been longer, have the authority to give him orders, you know? So he had no respect for him. If he had respect, he would follow, go along with you. But if he thought you to be inferior to him or mentally--mental idiot, he wouldn't like anything you told him to do.
