Ok, so we've established that the religious and non-religious do bad things.

It appears Hitler was a Christian:

In public statements, especially at the beginning of his rule, Hitler frequently spoke positively about the Christian German culture,[SUP][2][/SUP] and his belief in an Aryan Christ.[SUP][12][/SUP] Before his ascension to power, Hitler stated before a crowd in Munich: "My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice."[SUP][13][/SUP]

Hitler appeared Christian to play on his peoples fear of the Jews.

Hitler also used the swastika which has its roots in Hindu mythology, thus deliberately dragging asian religion into his twisted melting pot, man was he ever sneaky

Just another in a long line of Christian mass murderers.

Hitler would not really be considered a Christian by most Christians. He called Christianity a "dead limb that needed to be removed". He simply use Christianity with a blend of Germanic esoteric paganism to manipulate people.

Same argument goes for religion, the ones fighting in the name of religion are doing so because they too are twisted assholes. All major religions promote peace.

Stalin went to war because he was an asshole. He outright murdered people because they were religious and he was an atheist. So did Pol pot, Kim Jung Il, etc.....

 

[Panacea]

Aww the trolls were busy at work last night, I remember when bug would come on in the middle of the night and spam up the religion threads. Just like old times, but with 5 different login names!

 

[clancy]

We can't have opinions different from the status quo around here now can we?

John, associating Hitler being a Christian killing in the name of his God is no better IMO than those fucktards (you're rubbing off on me LOL) who claim that dictators kill because they are atheists.

I will agree however that some men think they are killing "in the name of their God", but I sincerely believe God has more important things to do than hope some men kill other men in His name.

Yup, there you have it, ladies and gentleman. The true cause for an incredibly complicated historical/political situation has been revealed to us at last. It was only because he was an asshole!

Doesn't prove anything.

You can be an asshole and how many people have you killed?:tooth

When I close my eyes all I see are their bloody faces.
