Comments on: Whose hater preacher to believe? http://www.myconfinedspace.com/2008/03/23/whose-hater-preacher-to-believe/ My Confined Space is an image blog with user submitted pictures of anything and everything, funny, serious or dark.

Proof is in the definition. Atheism does not entail any commandments, so to say Hitler, Stalin, etc did as they did because they were atheists is nonsensical. There is no causal link. You might as well say they committed atrocities because they had moustaches. P.S. You're extremely lucky I even deigned to post. I won't be reading any replies - I usually only look at the pictures. :D Read my post again, and perhaps you’ll be able to spell my name correctly.

Or saying that Jews want to destroy mankind. Doesn't MAKE sense, but GIVES sense to the shit your up to. People want to get the mickey taken out of them. Plus: Using christianity as an excuse for violence makes as much sense as using atheism as an excuse for having not a single moral standard ('Hahaaaa, there is no god, so I can do whatever I want to'). Still, that could depend on the christian or atheist you ask. To me, both is stupid. (Which brings us back to Hitler: 'Jesus would kill al the jews!' *durr*) Or like telling people that the Dalai Lama poisoned their drinking water. Or saying that Jews want to destroy mankind.

I'm not saying Christianity leads to Nazism. I'm just saying they weren't Atheists. Not that it matters. But so many times growing up, it was pointed out to me that Nazism happened because of Atheism. Bullshit! People will use whatever convenient lie works for them at the time. Like those elusive WMD's they never found. Exactly. I’m not saying Christianity leads to Nazism. I’m just saying they weren’t Atheists. Not that it matters.

Just the same way they used everything else that was convinient. Wait a second: Actually, the Nazis used Nietzsche, too. Just the same way they used everything else that was convinient.

Should I ever become a racist dictator I'll be all about the whole Ãœbermensch crap I learned from Nietzsche and 60 years later they'll all go: Hell, look at that bastard Goldfinger, he killed all those people because he was an atheist. You could very well be a Nazi without being religious at all. Religion doesn't have anything to do with that. Should we condemn esotericism or paganism because of Himmler? By Jove.

It was because he was heavily involved in christianity. In fact, he was a big fan of Martin Luther, and it is from there that that he got his ideas about exterminating the Jews. It doesn't matter if he was a "true" christian, or just exploited it. The fact is once again, religion was available to be used as a tool of control. http://www.cambridge.org/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=0521823714&utm_source=DOI&utm_medium=MultiLink&utm_content=0521823714&utm_campaign=CDI It’s not because Hitler was baptized that they say he was christian.

No, you don't have to be christian (or religious) to be a racist. No, you don't have to be christian (or religious) to be an antisemitist. No, you don't have to be christian (or religious) to go out of the house and rape and kill a bus full of schoolgirls. Nietzsche was baptized. Feuerbach was baptized. And, regarding the bible reading hours you mentioned, YOU are baptized, too. Are you a good Christian? I think not. No further questions. @Alec:
