"Atheism is a religious persuasion" That is just nonsense! WEBSTERS (1) : the service and worship of God or the supernatural (2) : commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance 2 : a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices As Mr. Walker said: "My main aim intends to educate without resorting to ad homenims or dishonesty. Indeed, it will take certain courage and honesty for any Christian to read this without feeling offended. However, I admire anyone who attempts to read this, and hope that they will do further research, check my sources, and reserve judgment" Message 20782136 "No one denies Hitler was a cultural-christian" Whatever that neans. Up until the 20th century, Christianity had centuries of proponents who were much exalted in the Christian world--people like the scholar, Martin Luther, who influenced millions and millions with his racial hatred. These are the origins of Hitlerian ideas. One does not just pick up racial hatred out of thin air. It must be stoked with a fanatical belief. Christianity has the history. Unfortunately for your theory...neither Darwin nor Nietzsche explain Hitker's fanatical hatred of Jews; whereas, entire cities of Jews had already been wiped out by Christians long before Hitler made the scene. The German, Martin Luther, was the most influential Christian in German culture. He was one of their own, and his books, rants, and racial beliefs were repeated over and over and over again by the German hierarchy. Darwin was married to a Christian and was gentle and kindly and sympathetic to religious belief.
