    Denial is your best friend - at least it seems to be in how many threads now?

    In what way was he christian? (Give some example - belt buckles don't work, try that by putting a porsche symbol on a Yugo and it still won't be a porsche.)

    Are we at that stage already where you continuously ask for evidence for things that were previously proven in the thread?

    Look at some quotes from his writings. Oh wait, I smell something, It's the onset of the "he wasn't a real christian" defence.

    "Christianity is an invention of sick brains," Adolf Hitler, 13 December 1941.

    "So it's not opportune to hurl ourselves now into a struggle with the Churches. The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death," Adolf Hitler, 14 October 1941.

    They have been long proven to be mistranslations. The correct translation (when not going from german to french to english) is;
    "Christianity teaches transubstantiation, which is the maddest thing ever concocted by a human mind in its delusions, a mockery of all that is godly."

    Hitler was only criticising the act of eating bread and drinking wine and pretending that it's flesh and blood.

    All those quotes prove is that he was sometimes critical of christianities traditions and the church.

    I just think its a bit simple to call him christian or an atheist. He seems to go back and forth. Probably to fit what's convenient at the time.

    This is interesting as well:

    Now now Debunked, you're making it seem like all atheists are awful people. Just like you do with Muslims. Who will be next? I'm an atheist, does that make me unworthy as a human? If you knew me, you'd know I'm a very nice person - please don't generalise so much.

    Will, you say that Communism requires the submission of the people's rights to the state, well, if you'd read my posts a couple of pages ago in response to Proteindude, you'd see how I clearly define what Communism actually is by definition. It's a Utopian idea, not dystopian. The idea that the state has authoritarian control is false - that's under Socialism's vanguard, not Communism's Anarchism-like autarky.

    Most people confuse Socialism with Communism, and they shouldn't, there is a huge difference - Communism in its true sense should always be referred to as Marxism.

    Socialism:

    Communism (Marxism):

    Common ownership denoting quite the opposite of many so-called definitions given in this thread. Common ownership stresses the opposition of state controlled production.

    So I suppose with all the failed (no I'm not going to say attempts, because I believe that Stalin, Kamenev, Castro and the current Chinese government certainly did not intend to have a true Communist nation, and instead imposed a warped totalitarian system upon the people) contemporary "communism", which show more resemblance to Socialism rather than Marxism, I'd like to believe that a lot more people, being educated properly on what Communism actually is, would be in support of it - a target group of Libertarians most likely.

    Atheism is not a religion. How can it be a religion when it's denying all religions and God?

    Atheism is a religion as much as any of the others.

    Atheism points out, correctly, that there is no "god."

    Other than that, it's not much different than any other religion.

    Not having a god is a choice not a religion. It doesn't make people evolve their lives around it. People don't go to churches, mosques or synagogues to be an atheist.

    Why people think it is a religion is beyond me. I think its a way of the 'religious' people making themselves feel better.

    Don't confuse "religion" with "church."

    That's why the term "organized" is at the beginning of the term "organized religion."

    That's funny, I feel the same way about moonbats who are intent on denying my religion.

    I'm an Atheist and it is my religion.

    Isn't God the dude up there who is watching 25,000 infants dying of malnutrition on a daily basis without to move the little finger about it??

    There's a major difference though. The atheist has one reason less to make war to thy neighbor...

    That way, the God's doing them a favor. They're reaching to heaven faster than others, which means they're luckier. Maybe not in this life, but in other life. And anyway, the other life is the real one.
