Not really.
The OP basically stated that if it wasn't for the Atheists in this country during ww2, the Christians would of helped Hitler exterminate the Jews. Ironically the only major "Atheist" country at the time killed three times the amount of people Hitler did.
which brings us to the "Christian' mass murderer vs the "Atheist" mass murdered debate.

Actually I would argue that there aren't any "Christians" with a high body count.
Quote:Matthew 7:20
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
An apple tree can't claim to be an apple tree if it produces oranges.
If a person claims to be a "pacifist" but has a body count in the millions, is he really a pacifist?
Quote:Matthew 19:18
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
So why then, is one considered a Christian when he clearly does not follow the teachings of Christ?
