Religion had nothing to do with Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin, Chairman Mao, etc...
I'm fairly certain Hitler had a problem with people of the Jewish faith.
It could possibly be. But its a fact that Neo-Socialists hate the thought of having to answer to a higher power for the evil things they perpetrate on their fellow man.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
I'm open minded on this too but feel the same way. Religion is a conscious law to keep people sane and societies civil. Although some societies justify their need to kill according to their "higher power".

Nothing more needs to be said.
Is that the imaginary Birkenstock wearing magical hippie I hear annoying people talk about all the time?
I figured CONservatives wouldn't get on with hippies, who woulda thunk it?

Yes, but was his problem with their faith? Hitler viewed Jews more as a race than a religion.
Hitler was born to a practicing Catholic mother and an anticlerical father; after leaving home Hitler never again attended Mass or received the sacraments.[371][372][373] Speer states that Hitler made harsh pronouncements against the church to his political associates and though he never officially left it, he had no attachment to it.[374] He adds that Hitler felt that in the absence of the church the faithful would turn to mysticism, which he considered a step backwards.[374] According to Speer, Hitler believed that either Japanese religious beliefs or Islam would have been a more suitable religion for the Germans than Christianity, with its "meekness and flabbiness".[375]
Historian John S. Conway states that Hitler was fundamentally opposed to the Christian churches.[376] According to Bullock, Hitler did not believe in God, was anticlerical, and held Christian ethics in contempt because they contravened his preferred view of "survival of the fittest".[377]
Absolutely. Hitler actually had personal disdain for the Christian church and only used religion as a political tool. From wikipedia:
Nothing wrong with that, it's a wonderful and noble personal philosophy. It's just lonely. It doesn't leave you a lot of room for growth or the possibility for something greater.
How is that working out?
I'm fairly certain Hitler had a problem with people of the Jewish faith.
...and thus the victory of Jewry...
— Adolf Hitler addressing the German Reichstag, 30 January 1939
AGW is myth. Socialism as a successful ecomonic system is a myth. Both have been disproved.
Jewry? Isn't that what black people call rings, necklaces, bracelets and watches?
Not only is it strange that the first 3 letters of jewelry is Jew, but that 9 times out of 10 you are a Jew if your last name is:
Goldman
Goldstein
Goldblum (Pittsburgh native Jeff is Jewish)
Silver
Silverman
Silverstein
Pearl (Daniel Pearl the news reporter murdered by Muslims was Jewish)
Pearlman
Ruby (Jack Ruby was Jewish)
Diamond (Neil Diamond is Jewish)
Greenburg ( green the color of money. Mike is Jewish)
Greenstein
Greenspan
Sterling
Crystal (Billy Crystal is Jewish)
I wonder why that is.
Eddie Money and Johnny Cash were not Jews btw.
Yes. Sorry for the ambiguity.At first it sounded like you said both myths have been disproven....that they are not really myths.
I'm fairly certain Hitlers problem with Jews had little to do with their faith.
Without delving into specific religions... the concept that most athiests believe in despite some fairly large leaps of faith makes me think their disdain of religion is just itself a form of religion trying to force itself on the rest of the world...
This existance is almost surely a form of computer program... from the coding of dna to matter itself, as well as the mathematical impossibly of random life evolving in the timeframe this universe could in theory have as a maximum. Beyond that there are tons off illogical unnatural limitations that science cannot explain. Its far more likely we are an advanced version of someone's civilization simulator in some other reality that actually did evolve in a way we were more or less based on than random occurrence evolving us down this path in a few trillion years...
