I read the subject as "Get tits". I have no idea why.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

Calling Hitler left or right wing is pretty simplistic. And the comparison to USian conservatives is pretty stupid.

I am no fan of the evangelical, conservative faction of the U.S. but I'm not going to compare them to Nazis or try to draw parallels that simply do not exist. I feel the same about that as I do about those who take the same cheap approach to demonize liberals.

Yeah stupid and have a whole bunch of money ready to hit the go to war button.
Yes, Hitler was fond of war, and current USians on the right seem to approve of war as a foreign policy. This is news?
Hitler also favoured gun control, abortion, social welfare, free education, and a raft of other issues that today we would describe as 'leftist' policies. But this didn't make Hitler a leftist in the modern sense of the word any more than his warmongering made him a 'right wing extremist' in the same vein as some in the US. Where do you find GOP policies advocating internment/murder camps, wars for
liebensraum, and the genocide of 'inferior races'?
Don't mistake my meaning - I'm no fan of Hitler or Nazism. The world would be a happier place is this megalomaniacal horror of a human being had been drowned at birth. Nor am I fan of conservatism or conservative policies in the US or anywhere else in the world. I'm so liberal, I make Minimalist look like Margaret Thatcher (no offense Min, just a sliding scale
).
But the constant equating of people we dislike with Adolf Hitler is beginning to get right up me hooter. You know who was like Hitler? Hitler.
