Richard Dawkins Intellectually and Morally Crucifies Joseph Ratzinger

[Aractus]

But the RCC never excommunicated Hitler or any Catholics who were involved with the Nazi party. However the RCC excommunicated every member of their church involved with Communist organisations, which amounted to several million people.

Yes those are interesting facts (which I don't disagree with), what I posted were also facts. Hitler hated the RCC, Protestants and (most of all, obviously) Jews. He may have liked some things about the Christian faith, however had he been successful in creating his own "denomination" it would be as extreme to Christianity as Islam is. I mean he would denounce all the Jewish roots and heritage, exclude them all from his choice of scriptures, and probably exclude any NT books that he didn't like too. So it's inaccurate to call him a Catholic in his later life.

I do not appreciate the scapegoating of Catholics for the support of this argument.
"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians."—Mahatama Gandhi. Don't get me wrong. There have been terrible things done in the name of Christianity. These things have been done with the the distortion of Christian doctrine. And as much as the Catholic Church sports its unity, its members are subject to error. It is at times like this that we need to take these errors to the general community and have them be condemned, by all of us. This rarely happens, and bad Catholics work alone.
At the same time, as in Hitler's case, it is also not acceptable for the Pope to scapegoat you atheists for the Holocaust.
With Christianity as with atheism, there is truth at the heart of our beliefs. Richard Dawkins is wrong and cowardly to single out bad Catholics and use them as instruments in his condemnation of a religion comprising of very moral men and women who would agree that the actions of Adolf Hitler were inhumane.

You DO realize that the purpose of this forum is for atheists and theists to talk about their views. Together.
I see that as an avenue for us to come to a better understanding about what each other. That said, I would like you to defend your view for the sake of the more polite atheists who are on this forum. Why would you ignore me if you had logical support for your view?

[KichigaiNeko]

Yes deary. this does NOT give you carte blanche to abuse the members via PM's

You are not interested in understanding (from the tenor of your PM) and you have not done this forum the courtesy of introducing yourself so please explain to me why I should not cut you down now?

I did not realize that you found my PM offensive. I only stated fact and made a logical connection, hoping to ask you a question so I could use your response to get a more concrete statement of your argument. I wasn't going to attack your point without knowing for sure what you were trying to say. I would like to apologize and get off to a new start.
