Then why even get involved in this thread?
Why is it important to you to believe that Hitler was an atheist?
Why is it important to you to believe that he was religious, or that
he believed in God?
It's not. I question most of your assertions.
Which ones?
Most of them. My lack of comment on the vast majority of your
statements and assertions and particularly insults should not be
interpreted as concurrence with what you say.
I see. You question my assertions, even most of them, but don't want
to be pinned down on which ones they might be?
sigh
That's not surprising, actually, because I think you're essentially
intellectually lazy yourself, and a coward.
You're uncomfortable having your own "assertions" questioned, so you
keep them close to the vest.
You don't believe that Hitler made those comments?
Which ones? He made several contradictory comments. My initial
question on this point was of your blanket assertion that he was
an atheist; I had read that his religious belief was open to
question, not settled.
If one understands the concepts of context and timeline, it's
impossible to come to any other conclusion.
Unless, of course, one were to become really uncomfortable with the
resulting implications.
Or that the context and timeline mean anything?
But I thought that it was important to you that Hitler be an
atheist because of the way pointed out that both Mark and Hitler
were atheists, as if that would be supremely insulting to Mark.
But you didn't seem to care much when Mark insulted me, and everyone
else who considers themselves religious, did you?
No, not really. You hurl out far more insults than you receive,
so I figure that you can take care of yourself.
That's not true. I hurl them out pretty much in direct proportion to
the number I myself receive, and only at those from whom I receive
insults, etc.
I didn't care
that you insulted Mark, either, by trying to imply similarity by
label; Mark can also take care of himself. I just became curious
as to why it was so important to you that Hitler be atheist.
Wasn't it totally obvious, given the context of my reply to Mark?
con-text n.
1. The part of a text or statement that surrounds a particular word or
passage and determines its meaning.
2. The circumstances in which an event occurs; a setting.
And until you manage to find the courage to elucidate some of those
many "assertions" of mine that you claim to question, for me, that'll
have to do for you.
So apparently, you have your own anti-religious axe to grind, eh?
Feel free to categorize me however you like.
Okay, I will.
I think you're an anti-religious bigot, just like Mark.
Why is it so important to you that Hitler be an atheist?
Why do you care what his religion or lack thereof is?
Only the truth is important to me.
One thing that should be important to you though, however, is your
support of a bigot who proudly proclaims his hatred and contempt for
anyone and everyone who happens to believe in God.
Which, absent additional information, leaves me to assume that you
share his contempt and hatred for 90-95% of Americans, including a
good number of r.p.d.b.ers.

"Two substantive political issues are the federal budget deficit and the war
in Iraq. Now, if you're electing Democrats to control government spending, then
you're marrying Angelina Jolie for her brains. This leaves the Democrats with
one real issue: Iraq. And so far the best that any Democratic presidential candidate
has been able to manage with Iraq is to make what I think of as the high school sex
promise: I will pull out in time, honest dear." P.J. O'Rourke
