Hello.....I have a little problem

[Rev. Rye]

Actually, both Hitler and Pol Pot were the products of catholic education and Stalin attended a Greek Orthodox seminary.

All three learned the lessons of religion quite well in my opinion.

Except when they were murdering millions they didn’t believe in the triune God of scripture and were strict Darwinists. Funny how that works huh? :-P Given your same perverted logic, if someone was an atheist, but then became a Christian and murdered millions we could blame it on the fact that they used to be an atheist.

The problem there was not their atheism (although, given all I've studied of Hitler, it's possible he still believed in a God as he claimed, and it's virtually impossible for any sane person to look at the history of anti-semitism in Europe without completely removing Christian influences), but the fact that their chosen political ideologies were so utterly inflexible and all-encompassing that they may as well have been a religion, and came to be so dominated by an us-vs-them mentality that it only became a matter of time before it led to mass killings.
