    He was indeed a dangerous man and dictator that a 80 millions population Christian nation allow him to rule them and do such things as the mass murder of Jews and others in their name.

    So the population of Chicago is mainly Muslims and atheists in your opinion?

    Jews and Arab muslims have been collaborators against Christians for 1,400 years.

    That's because Hitler was Germany's God at that time. And since all leaders are appointed by God the sheep would be sinning if they disobeyed what the leader told them to do. Christians are supposed to be obedient.

    I am confused ..”my life as a homosexual”? What is that all about?
    It’s funny how you project how you feel onto others. The atheists here including myself are not stomping our feet. You do realize that you very often use this attack mode you are Accusing others of. I think you give yourself too much credit thinking that a true liberal is upset over your posts. We like to debate...Don’t flatter yourself. I don’t think anyone gets upset over you

    So why can’t you sympathize with the Muslims who are obedient as well?. I think the Christians who are partook in Nazi Germany were not that stupid

    I find it so interesting that you feel the need to defend Hitler and the followers. It speaks volumes about you

    Where Did these Christians say they were atheists because otherwise they would be killed? Did you perhaps read my post wrong?

    I was referring to Chicago's crime and violence, which is the fruit of the absence of Godliness. Not the presence of it. This is self evident and a worldwide phenomena.

    Which person would you say had the more negative effect on Americans, the German Hitler or the racist Woodrow Wilson?

    The word you are reaching for is not defend, but having a discussion. I suppose if one says they are liberal, they do not mean liberal as to allowing others to simply be party to the discussion.

    If you defend Atheists, clearly you want to defend Stalin and his government. See how that kind of reasoning helps you?

    Along with Wilson, we could slap them with FDR as well. Both bent this country upside down so today it does not resemble this nation prior to Wilson.

    Hardly the same thing as in ww2 we loss half a millions men and while Wilson was similar racist to our current president we got by his being president without great harm and hopeful that well apply to Trump also.

    FDR was worse than Wilson because he should have known better. Eleanor couldn't do anything with that racist sob.

    They were disgusting creatures who were more evil than Hitler ever thought about being since they showed him that it was acceptable to be a skunk.

    As makers of things, we recognize the things that have been made. As creative creatures, we recognize creations. We intuitively recognize an arrowhead from a random rock. Human beings are unique in that way. We are creative. We make things. That is where religion comes from. All over the world, people who never had any contact with one another all made the same observation. They all observed that this world is a creation and that we are creatures. This has been blindingly obvious to people from time in memorial. It is, historically, the most common of common senses.

    Commenting on existence and it's profound questions is nothing when existing is slipping away. Fasting is not the same as starving. God? Yeah ok give me something to eat and yeah whatever you say.
