IDK, if we're comparing scourges against humanity I'd say "the rich" in general are worse, be they kings, CEOs, religious icons, politicians, or whatever. Their pursuit of money and the power to keep that money corrupts everything. They ruin everything from companies to countries and even religions (makes them even worse).
Really though, the most evil thing is cancer. It kills indiscriminately and tortures its victims the whole way. Even if you win, you never get the peace of knowing it's truly gone. True evil.
Another reason why, if God exists at all, they're not worth a penny of my income or a moment of my time.
Yuh if we're gonna go that deep, the rock are responsible for the deep corruption running thru society, across all society's ills around the world. I agree that american religion's descent into facism-promotion is a symptom of that rather than a driving force.
Hitler bent the knee to the Roman Catholics. Nuff said.
I'd have a hard time believing that Hitler was super cool with the people who worship a Jew as a god.
Hitler in his table talks: "The dogma of Christianity gets worn away before the advances of science ... Gradually the myths crumble. All that is left to prove that nature there is no frontier between the organic and inorganic. When understanding of the universe has become widespread, when the majority of men know that the stars are not sources of light, but worlds, perhaps inhabited worlds like ours, then the Christian doctrine will be convicted of absurdity."
Good rule of thumb is to never underestimate Hitler's ability to hate a group of people lol
Don't have a hard time believing it. Christianity has indoctrinated most into believing Jesus was white. Just look at all these southern baptist molesters that want Trump as their new god.
I'm sorry, I'm genuinely not sure I understand your comment. Are you saying that because you believe Christian propaganda to be that powerful, you're ready to believe that Hitler also fell for the same propaganda? I get why you're ready to make that assumption, but I don't think choosing to believe an assumption made out of heavy bias is appropriate in the face of evidence directly to the contrary. Hitler outright condemned the belief more than once
I didn't say that at all. I'm saying Christianity isn't about God. It's about power, slavery, money, pedophilia. Same as with the elite now. Hitler was just a part of it. It's all a big club.
Hitler also loved dogs. So not sure there's anything to that.
Pedo apologist.
Nice strawman
100%
And the Catholics were cool with him.
Look at how much hate we're getting. All of my posts about corporatism and GOP spouting nonsense getting blasted. This place is another spot for GOP, facism and the church to have a voice in the form of bots.
