No kidding!

Some consider Holland to be a more "Christian" nation for legalizing weed and mushrooms. If shit really came from God, then it shouldnt be held back from its people.

If America was a true "Christian nation", they would legalize. Oh well, guess well just keep the wolves in sheep's clothing...err, i mean politicians, spreading war and making the rich richer :)

Hitlers Catholic background was the driving force behind what he did, these were practically his words.

I have read "The Life And Death Of Adolph Hitler" and "The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich" and "Mein Kamph" more than just several times each and somehow I missed that. Well, that or it wasn't bothered to be mentioned in any of the three books.

I'm curious. Where did you read or hear what you said?

Thanks for the chart. But I was talking about how Holland has a more realistic Christian response, just not total population. The drug war isn't working in the U.S, but the war continues so that some people stay rich.

What Jesus says and what people actually do are two different things. Anyone can say they are a Christian, especially if they want you to watch Fox News ;)

are you starting to see why us athiests consider christianity to be bad? where the "moral majority" has little to do with actual morality and much more to do with stagnant dogma?

...it is no secret what happens when people take things literally. One quote from your link was of particular interest to me. Being 'right' in defending against the 'jews' describes, in the gnostic sense, an ego unwilling to surrender. Like this he becomes the epitome. A false 'god'. I think he took variations on 'saturn' in the wrong way - he lusted for bloodshed toward the end.

Speaking of false gods - I wonder how many people, believers and non-believers, were mesmerized by television when it first aired. I wonder how many still are.

Religeon is oftentimes misused to inflict something negative on others . But still is a persons choice - just for themselves to make , like using cannabis . They are personal choices . Problems arise when other people try to impose their own beliefs upon people of a different state of mind . I deal with it all the time , it's caused wars at my house .
