imprisoned thousands of innocent people onto worthless parcels of land acted with force to strike down any sort of resistance to this treatment.
You mean, no christians ever did anything right or kind or thoughtful or compassionate or unprejudiced or loving?
Isn't that kinda like.........statistically impossible?

That said I will correct you in that I wasn't the one who brought up Nazism so check again in previous posts. My Grandfather who was Born
handicapped as was many in germany with this particular Birth defect.
His hands attached to his elbows without forearms was Adolf Hitlers personal Mechanic until he was able to get out where he went to ireland. He had
seen a lot of this mans life and had seen him one day a month he would come to the garage and My grandfather who spoke very broken english with a
strong german accent was an atheist and the two of the shared many jokes about people who believed in God. Many like I see so many Atheist here .
He married an Irish lass and they came to America, he became a Christian after he met my Grandmother. They are long passed away but he was quite
clear about his memory of Nazi Germany and the Atheist party. I think I speak for him when I say what YOU KNOW about hitler is BUPKIS
The problem is, Christians are notoriously bad at being the least bit christlike.
Yeah,, I'm afraid you are right there but if you don't mind,,
Ill keep trying.

Nice of you to suggest that but I'm completely serious. It may not make sense to you but it's actually the way it is: They don't like me and
don't even know me. They don't like me because someone else they met that is my religion bothered them. So does that mean I should not like all
men because a man bothered me once? Or all red heads? Bald people? People with black cars? People who like rap? People who like opera? Where's
it end? And should I call for their deaths because I dont' like them? Whatdya think? Maybe it's their fault that I've went through so much hell,
whatdya think?
Anyway, if we're gonna blame all of Jesus followers for what some of them do... . Don't tell me "Don't as I do, do as I say," because i'm
losing my patience with that. I'll decide that part.

Perhaps atheists dislike you because you compare them to Nazis and keep insisting they want to kill you? I don't know about you, but I don't think I
would be terribly happy with someone who kept calling me Third Reich serial killer. Especially since I haven't seen anyone call for your deaths here.

not them, but the mindset that entire groups of people should just be exterminated. you don't find that hitlerian? prefer a different word?
genocidal?

Until I read that article and looked at the rest of that site; I thought Prison Planet was the most biased site I'd ever seen  Can we all say
SPIN. Lets say it again shall we SPIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel dumber for having read such one sided material.
The only truth is that people need to be tolerant of each others beliefs and stop this stupid destructive name calling and hate speech.

First, I'm not an atheist. You're more of an atheist than I am, Mister "No god except this one".
Second, if you don't care, why do you keep posting.
That said I will correct you in that I wasn't the one who brought up Nazism so check again in previous posts.
Undo did before you, but you contributed handily shortly after. I'm fully literate, even if for some mysterious reason, I keep typing things like
"hte" instead of "the."

Really? Phocomelia syndrome had about 6,000 cases in West Germany due to use of the drug Contergam (thalidomide, prescribed as a sedative / hypnotic
and cure for morning sickness). Trouble is, this was in 1957, and were the first cases of the condition recorded in Germany. Now, I'm not calling you
a liar, but it does seem very strange, especially considering he...
was Adolf Hitlers personal Mechanic until he was able to get out where he went to ireland.
I would be very interested in how a fellow with this condition could be a mechanic. What sort of machinery did he operate on? I do auto work for a
living, so I've got some professional curiosity here, too.

Thank you, but I think I'll take the reams of documented information about Hitler and his party compiled by numerous people who were there, studious
researchers of later generations, etc, over your grandfather.
Yeah,, I'm afraid you are right there but if you don't mind,,

I would, if I saw such a thing, but it seems to be a figment of your imagination.
But let me put it this way to you. Nobody needs to kill off the Christians. You people are doing well enough killing yourselves off. Maybe your book
is right, and most of the Christians of the world will be killed off by the antichrist (themselves), leaving the meek (those Christians who are
actually decent people who respect and follow Jesus' teachings) to come out and take up the flag of Christianity.
That'd be kind of amusing.

Okay, Hitler used christianity to ease his acceptance.
however, he was into the occult and blavatsky. particularly a group
who's name escapes me, that wanted to use the occult to contact other forces of life in the universe. like most world leaders, he was into having his
horoscope read and most christians don't do that (there are a few but most feel the planets are just chunks of rocks in space not fortune telilng
devices (personally, i think there are other races living on them).
anyway, the guy believed in astrology and evolutionary theory and was into occultism. taht he made public christian speeches, is really not my fault.
edit: theosophy  .. .still can't remember the name of the specific group though.

i'm sorry you had to see this stormdancer.
this, unfortunately, is how people are defined nowadays.
not by who they are, but by what they represent in stereotypology.

Oh yes. Despite my repeated explanations to the contrary. You caught me
You don't appreciate hte irony that hte "end times prophecies" that these fellows are going on about, are very accurately reflected in the way
Christians treat other Christians? You don't find anything weird about the fact that, in the time undo has taken to try to convince us all that
atheists are mass-murdering Nazis, several thousand Christians have probably died at the hands of other Christians?
I pity them, greatly. I hope deeply that someday, more Christians will understand what Jesus was saying, and will then mature enough to join the rest
of us at the adult table instead of having a foodfight with Islam down at the kid's table.

See what I mean? He thinks christians everywhere are having a food fight with islamics. Who knows how many of those people are actually christians!
Some might even be the same belief system as him but shhhh, we are only gonna mention the christians because the news only tells us that fifty
thousand times a day, and we all know what the news says is 100 percent accurate and free of prejudice.

i have a theory. Maybe Bush isn't a christian. Maybe, he just uses the word to get support. Kinda like an Atheist who really isn't an Atheist,
using the word to get support from a primarily atheist community. wouldn't that suck? And then the opposing political party would go on the air and
blame atheists for what the pretend Atheist was doing to the country and the world. And never stop blaming them for thousands of years, any time the
word atheist is even brought up.
What's that old saying about Goose and Gander? I guess it only applies if you aren't a christian. If you're a christian it's "Don't do as I
do, do as I say." Yeah, I got it Dad. Okay? I figured it out. You win!
Where's the exit?

No, actually I think both religions are chock full of spiritually immature people who need adult supervision, until such a point as they actually
realize what it is their religion teaches. Thus the analogy of a foodfight at the kiddie table.
And again, whether a person is Christian or not is between them and their god. Unless you're telling me you automatically assume every Christian you
meet is lying about it, you don't have a strong point here.

I agree. Unfortunately, all we hear about these days is the bad news. More and more and more. It can't possibly be that bad! Are we even looking
in the right places? Who's brilliant idea was it to suddenly decide it was christians who were to blame for all of this?

The fact is, infinitely more murders occur for purely secular reasons. Money, sex, land, revenge..pick one. name others.

pick one
shhh, we can't pick one. we're too busy reading christians the riot act for the same things everyone else has always done. like i said it's the
"don't do as i do, do as i say" syndrome. (not that christians haven't done the same thing but isn't it ironic that no one notices it, when they
are doing it? it's like a deep trance comes over them and they lose all reason. i swear it's supernatural)
