This article gives an overview about religion in Nazi Germany and the Nazis' complex and shifting policy towards religion. The German census of May 1939 indicates that 54 percent of Germans considered themselves Protestant and 40 percent considered themselves Catholic, with only 3.5 percent claiming to be neo-pagan "believers in God," and 1.5 percent unbelievers. This census came more than six years into the Hitler era.

Agreed, the whole point of Christianity is NOT in being right 24/7, but learning to get beyond your hate. If there was a remote chance that we could get it all right, there would be NO reason for Grace. This is where most Christians fail to get the point across: It's not who we are but WHOSE we are. No way in the world we'd make it of our own selves--that's the whole point to accepting Christ.

All the self appointed saints at the ATS, i will give you some facts-
1- there is no one in this world who doesn't has 'hate' in his/her heart.
Hate is like Cold. Cold is the absence of heat, and is thereby not truly a thing, but a lack of a thing. So, theoretically, you can have heat without cold, and love without hate, but it's not something that happens easily.
2- Love can't exist without hate.
And if it is real, we've got an obligation to warn people. But there are far better ways than by upsetting people needlessly.
If heaven is a fairytale thing, then you shouldn't be bothered about who will be allowed to go there.
Jsut a reminder to both: you can come to the conclusion that practicing Homosexuality is a sin, and still not hate on people. Balancing act, that.
The comments made by you depict the hate in your hearts whether for a good cause or not.

Exactly. I have lost track of how many posts on ATS alone I have caught of members saying Christians should die, or be maimed/attacked/etc. That is the whole hypocrisy of it all.
When are we going to realize we are being intentionally divided over the pettiest s**t imaginable, and actually direct our energies against the ones who are hurting us all??

Thank you for outing yourself.
It is important for the rest of us to know who we are dealing with in other threads in which we may cross paths.

dear reader
you do the math
claiming christians acting like christians aren't christians is the oldest, most worn out, way of avoiding responsibilty ever...
like a protestant claiming catholics aren't christians because they did residential schools in Canada, when protestant churches accounted for 1 third of the schools ( an actuall conversation I had...)edit on 31-5-2012 by Danbones because: (no reason given)edit on 31-5-2012 by Danbones because: (no reason given)

Those who complain, tough, its their right and freedom of religion to believe what they want to!!!
They are doing it their own CHURCH not on the street.
Gays should be used to people shoving their views down peoples throats!! All we hear is gay rights this, gives us new laws etc.....

I agree that it's unethical to teach such a young child segregational beliefs, but as far as having a rights campaign present to condemn such behavior is censorship.
As far as whether an Al Sharpton type figure representing the gay community is possible is another story. In some cases where hatred toward gays is involved in a violent crime, there should be penalties in place which address such crimes.
My personal belief is that homosexuality is a learned behavior and not genetic. Therefore, gays should not be considered a broad social class like races & religions. I am tolerant of the gay community and condemn violence against them, but I also fail to accept that those who choose to deviate from the sexual norm are on a social equal with races and genders for workplace equality and other social programs which were originally designed to promote racial diversity and harmony. It's one thing if people choose to have same-sex life partners. This is America, you're free to pursue that happiness. It's another thing to challenge for a piece of taxpayer money for community events celebrating what boils down to sexual rebellion. Whatever, that's my opinion.
Gay Men Have Brains Similar to womens: The brains of gay men resemble those of straight women, according to research published today that provides more evidence of the role of biology in sexual orientation. Using brain-scanning equipment, researchers said they discovered similarities in the brain circuits that deal with language, perhaps explaining why homosexual men tend to outperform straight men on verbal skills tests -- as do heterosexual women. The area of the brain that processes emotions also looked much the same in gay men and straight women -- and both groups have higher rates of depressive disorders than heterosexual men, researchers said. The study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, however, found that the brain similarities were not as close in the case of gay women and straight men. Previous studies have found evidence that sexual orientation is influenced by biological factors. More than a decade ago, neurobiologist Simon LeVay reported that a key area of the hypothalamus, a brain structure linked to sexual behavior, was smaller in homosexual men than in heterosexual men. The latest study, led by Dr. Ivanka Savic of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, was significant in that it looked at areas of the brain that have nothing to do with sexual behavior, suggesting that there was a basic biological link between sexual orientation and a range of brain functions. "The question is, how far does it go?" said Dr. Eric Vilain, who studies human sexual development at UCLA and was not involved in the study. "In gay men, the brain is feminized. Is that limited to particular areas, or is the entire brain female-like?" Vilain said his hunch was that the entire brain was not feminized because "gay men have a number of masculine traits that are not present in women." For example, he said, men regardless of sexual orientation tend to be interested in casual sex and are stimulated by sexually suggestive images. Savic and her colleagues used magnetic resonance imaging to measure brain volumes of two groups, each divided evenly between men and women: 50 heterosexuals and 40 homosexuals. They knew going into the study that in men the right cerebral hemisphere is larger than the left, but in women the hemispheres are of equal size. The results showed that gay men had symmetrical brains like those of straight women, and homosexual women had slightly asymmetrical brains like those of heterosexual men. Symmetry is thought to favor verbal skills, the report said.
Striking similarities between the brains of gay men and straight women have been discovered by neuroscientists, offering fresh evidence that sexual orientation is hardwired into our neural circuitry. Scans reveal homosexual men and heterosexual women have symmetrical brains, with the right and left hemispheres almost exactly the same size. Conversely, lesbians and straight men have asymmetrical brains, with the right hemisphere significantly larger than the left. Scientists at the prestigious Stockholm Brain Institute in Sweden also found certain brain circuits linked to emotional responses were the same in gay men and straight women. The findings, published tomorrow in the US journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest the biological factors that influence sexual orientation - such as exposure to testosterone in the womb - may also shape the brain's anatomy. The study, led by the neurobiologist Ivanka Savic, builds on previous research that has identified differences in spatial and verbal abilities related to sex and sexual orientation. Tests have found gay men and straight women fare better at certain language tasks, while heterosexual men and lesbians tend to have better spatial awareness. Savic and her colleague Per Linström took MRI brain scans of 90 volunteers who were divided into four groups of similar ages according to whether they were male, female, heterosexual or homosexual. The scans showed the right side of the brain in heterosexual men was typically 2% larger than the left. Lesbians showed a similar asymmetry, with the right hand side of the brain 1% larger than the left. Scans on homosexual men and heterosexual women revealed both sides of the brain were the same size. The results could explain a University of London study earlier this year that found gay men and straight women share a poor sense of direction compared with heterosexual men, and were more likely to navigate using landmarks alone.
