I'm surprised you have anything if you honestly lived life like that. That's the kind of mindset you can only have if you believe the world is going to end within your lifetime, like Jesus did 2,000 years ago. Like I said... These are hard sayings that contain more than their volume suggests.

I'm reminded of this joke:
Jesus knocks on the door and yells 'let me in!'. The people inside ask 'Why?'. Jesus says 'So I can save you!' The people inside ask 'From what?' Jesus says 'From what I'm going to do to you if you don't let me in!'
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Why bible and not Mein Kampf? Freely offering what is being forcibly taken from me empowers me. Hitler had no conception of this paradigm - the two are apples and oranges.

Not really. Bible advocates divine dictatorship. Mein Kampf advocates fascism of humans.
Besides Hitler was a bible fan.

Besides Hitler was a bible fan. Hitler, like most people who read the bible, read it incorrectly, and draw from it only that which fortifies their own pre-conceived notions (good and bad).

Or maybe he read it correctly and the book is not so good after all?

What a horrifying book, that can lead men to such atrocities if they read it!

Fixed that for you, tonus.
I prefer to offer them baby steps.
On the other hand, your method does help them reach the bottom of the stairs a lot faster!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
