"I disagree with you, but i don't think you're Hitler"
#23
RE: "I disagree with you, but i don't think you're Hitler"
Quote:Yup, but just like being a fascist does not mean being Hitler, being a theist does not mean being a dangerous zealot.

But just like in Germany all the other facists being complicit is what allowed hitler into a position of power and that in turn allowed some of the greatest evil to ever be committed. In the same way I have always argued it's the majority (of admittedly peaceful) religious folk who are passive enough that allow the dangerous zealots to get into a position of power within a religion who can then cause suffering and evil in the name of that religion. The so called peaceful majorities of religions e.g. Islam are responsible for keeping their religion peaceful and they should be doing everything they can to keep it that way. Slightly off topic I know, but a point worth making I thought.
