The Bible says that every leader of every nation is there, because of god's will. It further says that people should follow them. If you believe the Christian Bible, you believe Hitler executed god's will. If you believe the Christian Bible, you believe that the Germans were under god's orders to do what their leader told them to do, as it was god's will. Fortunately, god is fictitious. I wish Hitler and most of his followers had known that. Karl Johanson Quote

The Bible is clear that Hitler and every other evil leader, are there because god wants them in power . It also says that people are supposed to follow those leaders. The god of the Bible is evil or fictitious. Karl Johanson Romans 13: "Submission to the Authorities 1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.

For that matter he never even said that it was acceptable even for self defense. Here are a couple of "quotes": "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles." (Mat.5:33-41) Which, IMHO, shows the nature of what the religion of Christianity ought to be. Of course, not being perfect as described in the Bible, most folks aren't that good at being "perfect Christians". "Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him. And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest, and cut off his ear. Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?. But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?"... "But Jesus said, "No more of this!" And he touched his ear and healed him." (Mat.26:50-54, Lk.22:51)... The weapons Jesus left us are prayer and forgiveness, and love and service, trusting always in the Lord... never the sword, Jesus will bring the sword. Praying forgiveness for those who crucified him, "And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." (Lk.23:34). Love and service and prayer and forgiveness were the weapons of Jesus, and love and service and prayer and forgiveness should always be the weapons of a Christian. ______________________________ Now. I don't even consider myself to even be a mediocre example of a Christian. Hell I may not even qualify to call myself Christian in terms of what the "Church" says a Christian is at all. But I do know that for the first deades, maybe centuries after Christ most of the Christians in the world were treated like dirt because of their non violent philosophy. A shitload were simply slaughtered. There have been a couple of responders that, for lack of any proof of their claims that Christianity is a "bloody" religion in it's teachings, want to throw out all kinds of examples and ask "Are they not Christians?" My answer is that they may be Christians but they do or did a very piss poor job of it according to what Jesus preached. I'm far from being fit to be any kind of true judge as far as what God considers Christian or not or even if it is a consideration. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to simply read what Jesus said and then look at how a lot of professed Christians do to figure out that they ain't doing it right. But that's why Christian ministers always talk about how people cannot be perfect and all God expects is for people to aspire to be like Christ. Even though they can never attain the same level of perfection. What I see as time goes by is fewer and fewer folks aspiring to anything other than a bigger check and a flatscreen HD TV. And those "aspiring" Christians are aspiring less and less in terms of being like Jesus.. I'm sure there can be tons of pages of threads written about how the Church keeps "adapting" and letting more and more slide in efforts to boost membership and donations and such but that's a whole different thread that someone else will have to start. Like I said I'm really really not very religious. I just know what the particular religion in question is supposed to be about. Hope what I did quote can be of some help. I'm sure you can find a lot more similar if you do the right searches. PS In a way I guess I can kinda understand the controversy as far as the atheists are concerned. There are indeed a lot of folks claiming that they are doing the "Christian" thing while doing exactly the opposite of what Jesus preached according to the Bible. Anyone not very familiar with the New Testament could very well get the impression that the religion itself teaches the wrong ideals by the way a lot of the "believers" behave. Quote

And before you try it - no, I have no immage of something like that, I am even not interested in it. But hint: faith. You avoid this word, because it would burn your strawman. Faith is the thing you have - to believe in something without any evidence. I don't have faith. I disbelieve you, when you tell me that it is impossible to be without faith - because I am without faith. And now not again this old game with scientific theories that must be believed in. You don't need faith to believe that a scientific theorie is true. If there is no, and I mean no, evidence at all, like in your gawd, then I don't even care. It does not matter. No faith - not a little bit. greets richie X'Posted to: alt.atheism,alt.politics,alt.philosophy -- ..sig lost Quote
