This is a beautiful Video from Non-stamp collector


"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain

That's a very nice video. People like to bring up Hitler, and accuse him of being an atheist. Not that there's anything about atheism that commands people to commit genocide. There is something in theism, at least in the Abrahamic religions like christianity, that commands people to do this.

Even if you want to say "That was just the old testament", some people believe Jesus existed in spirit for as long as Yahweh, or is just a different part of him. That means the guy that went on about loving your neighbor and turning the other cheek was there when his other personality was instructing or committing genocide.

That hypothetical situation is laughable, especially since there's nothing hypothetical about it. It happened repeatedly throughout history.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

End of the Hitler argument.
