    Weak deflection. You were speaking to ME and I responded.

    That's supposed to be proof of what? My mother's side were ethnic Germans who moved here after the war after being ethnically cleansed by the Communists. They did not like Hitler.

    It's indicative of a weak knowledge base. People who read should not be writing as if they spend their lives hiding from books.

    Look up what you were just trying to quote - in context - and you'll figure it out.

    Yeah, debate forums are "rough drafts."

    What the? That's the silliest excuse for people that lack adult-level English that I have ever seen.

    You get points for creativity for that one!

    You mean that the hate the left spews is not perceived as hate by your biased perception.

    I went back to The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and early on the Episcopalian discipline was mentioned but about his Grandfather who was Schlickengrubber. But now Shirer is off on the formation of the Nazi party and I visited the book index to see where he speaks of religion. I find nothing. I had forgot how frail and shy Hitler was as a young kid.

    If there was any doubt about Hitler's plan for the Jews read Mein Kampf published in 1925.

    Neither Hitler nor especially Stalin claimed to be Christians. Hitler was not above claiming Christian approval or roots but made it quite clear both in Mein Kampf and elsewhere that he despised Christianity. Religion in general was a central nemesis of the Communist ideology and Stalin was thoroughgoing follower in that regard

    That's true and I hope you follow that through with all the religions. People attempting to rise in power use religion to control their population or invade other territories

    Actions? well killings and even mass killings had always been a part of the Christians faith and church, even sometimes being done under the excused that the tortures and the killings was done in an attempt to save the victims souls.

    See for one example the so call reasons to wiped out the Templars by the church.

    In fact the actions of the Pope and the French King of the time toward the Templars was very similar to the actions and the reasons for Hitler actions toward his brown shirts.

    So you are claiming the power to even overrule a whole serious of Popes on what it is to be a true Christian?

    Kind of amusing an you are doing so without any black smoke on your behalf.

    Do you also claim the Papal infallibility for yourself?

    Those actions are not examples of Christianity. They are examples of the perverted use of religion for political gains.

    Religion and Christianity are not the same thing. No smoke is necessary to understand that.

    LOL the Catholic church had similar plans for Jews dating back hundreds/thousands of years before Hitler was born
    Hitler and a large percent of Christians have similar feeling toward Jews.

    LOL unless I miss you becoming the Pope your opinion is just your opinion that does not seems to agree with the very long history of the church and the large percent of the Christians members of the church.

    right wingers are biased and filled with hate - no surprise given that their heroes set examples like these:


    https://www.mediamatters.org/resear...-are-bill-o-reilly-s-worst-moments-air/216077


    Michael Savage calls for killing 100 Muslims:

    https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2006/4/20/203802/-



    and then there is Rush Limbaugh:


    https://www.snopes.com/politics/quotes/limbaugh.asp




    As usual, the hate from the far right is endless.

    What savage said was that we need to fight back against radical violent islamic fundimentalists

    If that means killing 100 million who are trying to kill us so be it
