Hitler? I love how Christians try to push their reveisonist history on Hitler's faith. In fact a large part of his antisemetisim came from Catholicism.
Simply amazing. Why would a christian based website not mention the pilgrims forcing their beliefs? I wonder why? You are now aware of at least 2 sources where you can base your understanding about the pilgrims. One, an OPINION from a biased website, the other from the first hand eye witness TESTIMONY from the Wampanoags. It's now on you who you want to believe.
He's throwing Hitler back into your face. That's what he's doing. One ridiculous comment begets another.
I know what you are trying to do here. You are doing the "you too" argument. While it may be true that Communism portrayed itself as “godless,” it did not wage war in the name of atheism. It's akin to Christians saying the United States was founded on Christianity when the truth is the United States was founded by men who happened to be Christian. Their Christianity had no bearing on their actions.
If I don't like football and walk around telling everyone "Football is stupid. Football doesn't make any sense. JJ Watt is no more special than me." Then I'll be labeled a hata in Houston. Because, why would I be such a dick to go around dissing everyone's love and faith in football and the Texans. If your entire opinion is based on someone else's interest, find something you do care about. Quit telling everyone football sucks. No one cares.
My point is that human nature, not religion, is the problem. Take away religion and, guess what, you still have murderers.
I am doing the exact opposite of defending Hitler. I hate religion and Hitler so much I like put them together.
