I've heard so much argument over what Hitlers religion was. I'd like to know: Who cares? Is it an accurate representation of all Christians/Atheists alive today? Do people just want to know so when they get into an arguement they can say "Hitler was a Christian/Atheists." and it will make Christians/Atheists look bad?

Do you believe in this? Is materialism a symbol of superiority?

You know that what you are can't be something you're observing or who would the observer be? So you can't be body, thought or feeling.

Position yourself as the observer of thought and feeling. Notice that there are thoughts about the thoughts and feelings that happen. These thoughts are still mind thinking, and so you are not the observer either but mind positioned as such.

Back up and notice the silent witness of this observer. This witness is not thinking or feeling, and in fact it's not 'aware of' thought/feeling happening. It's simply present for it.

This witness is Awareness in which thought/feeling happens; in which consciousness happens. It is present even in deep sleep when consciousness is absent. Awareness is not 'aware of' this because the 'aware of' function is consciousness, but it is possible for Awareness to be aware of itself. This is Self Awareness, which is what Enlightenment is. It does not happen to a person. There is no person.

I suggest anyone who wants true answers to their questions on God not to ask them here on Yahoo's answers.

I'm not being negative at all. I'm just wondering why one race of people were picked over all the other races on the planet at that time.

The world is full of psychic vampires - from the religious to the secular intellectuals , in subtle disguises. Have you notice - all these people who have an energy-draining effect upon you ?
Some of them are very active on YA and their answers they give you. Some of them will email or call you on the telephone and upset you with their troubles. Soon you feel worn out listening, while they go away feeling better!
The sustenance of their lives is the upsetting reactions they cause in others.
There is a simple explanation for this. Negative people are the "children of darkness", who feed like fungus upon other decaying forms of life. They feed on fear and negation. Your fear and emotional upset gives them a malicious thrill-but causes you to "decay" in your disobedience to the law of patience and love.
Relieved of the contrast of your goodness, they feel "achievement" Even to the extent of having your postings on Truth removes by foul means. We coin the phrase, They knock others

okay...so various religions and civilizations have predicted the Apocolypse. The Mayan prediction is very near in 2012 i think...maybe...but the point is, say the apocolypse never comes. And all religions were wrong including Atheists...becuase eventually something will destroy us all. Then wouldn't everyone feel stupid knowing they wasted their whole lives preparing for a day that would never come??? I know it would make me a little upset, but im not going to go crazy over it. I will still belive in God, and just believe that He will come someday... your takes on it?

It would seem that if a person is forced to experience homosexuality, they'd be in a much better intellectual position to formulate conclusions about it.

hmmm... it's making me doubt their so-called "enlightenment" more... would you care to explain why such a supposedly "real" Christian can call other people names, but thinks other people shouldn't?

It kind of blows my mind that people ask questions on this site when they have the whole world at their fingertips,,,via the internet .I understand that people want a *real person *response
but I still don't get in a way. What do you think ? Why here and not google ? Is it that human connection that we seek ?
