Why must we fight?

RE: Why must we fight?
Quote:Hitler was Catholic.
Well, there's definitely some room for debate there. Whatever his private beliefs were, he did claim to be a Catholic to get the ordinary Germans on his side.

Quote:Have you even read his book with the weird German name that I can't spell? Mein Kampf maybe? IDK.

You kidding? That's probably the most unreadable book I've ever read in my life. Even if you get past the genocidal hatred, he's just as crappy a writer as he was a human being.

Quote:He hated Christianity only because it was a competitor with Catholicism. Well, and because churches historically compete with politicians for power.

Um... He didn't actually kill for Catholicism, he killed for Nazism. That said, it's not like there's not a lot of examples of religions (especially Christianity) using their religion as a way to get the people to turn on the Jews.

Quote:Stalin was the greatest example of atheism killing people, but there's a subtle difference; Hitler killed "inferiors". Stalin killed his opposition (the church).
The fact is, both killed their opposition, only Hitler added the thing about them being "inferiors," something the clearly wouldn't work for communism, where everyone was (in theory) equal.

Quote:Therefore, evolutionism=no evil (unless you count genetic animal tests)
And religion=very evil (Holocaust, Inquisition, fall of the Roman Empire leading to the Dark Ages)
Well, the validity of the first sentence depends on the idea that "evolutionism" qualifies as a distinct worldview. I'd probably say...
Atheism=Not that dangerous.
Religion=Much more succeptibility to danger.

Quote:Like it or not, by the way, Hitler was cunning, and many would argue that he was very intelligent. He could have been a great leader if he hadn't turned out to be a massive egotistical s***-***d. The point is that he was an evolutionist (if indeed he was, I don't remember hearing this) not because he was an evil atheist, but because that's what most intelligent people think, regardless of psychotic tendencies.
Well, the fact is that it was more the people around Hitler were very intelligent, and much less him. That said, the rest of that paragraph is pretty solid. I've heard that, if he had been killed before the Anschluss (or at least before invading Poland), he would probably be counted as one of the greatest German leaders history, if (more than) a little Anti-semitic.
