I am confused was Hitler and bush reading the following quotes from the Bible?

Question

Kill Followers of Other Religions.

1) If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)

Answer 1

so much violence & hatred is being preached. cant call it holy book.
i read those verses and also the preceeding and succeeding one. you are right.

Answer 2

The passage that you quote is directed at the enemies of God, not the enemies of the state. Much of what you read in the Old Testament is God working against wicked man to achieve good on earth. God uses violence as a last resort. the bible does not contain the complete details of all the accounts that it relate---it contains what God wants us to know.

Answer 3

You should not mention Hitler and Bush in the same sentence like this as if there was no difference between them.
Maybe Hitler read that, he was raised Catholic, so maybe some violent passages from the Bible "inspired" him, but he did not kill Jews because they believe in a different religion, but because he considered them to be "the most inferior race" and tried to justify that with a lot of pseudo-science.

Edit: I just found this quote from Hitler:
"Christianity could not content itself with building up its own altar; it was absolutely forced to undertake the destruction of the heathen altars. Only from this fanatical intolerance could its apodictic faith take form; this intolerance is, in fact, its absolute presupposition." -Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf (It is quite obvious here that Hitler is referring to destructing the Judaism alters on which Christianity was founded.)

Answer 4

There are better place for people who are biased from whatever direction they choose to take on earth. Good luck to those who think they'll get an easy ride to heaven! If you think earth is an express transit to heaven: think again! Is there at all any testing point in our universe? Who knows? Perhaps earth is final testing point. Fail at your own peril. We are all humans afteralls. You either die in misery or happiness. The point is; why leave so many others behind you in misery. The battle of emotion is over.. the next battle for survival is intelligence......beware!

Answer 5

Wow! Does the bible really advocate crushing someone's skull with stones? Doesn't sound like the word of an all-loving, all-merciful God. Sounds more like a hit man from the mafia.

Answer 6

No, only Islam kills followers of other religions.....
Islam like Hitler are trying to eradicate the Jews.

Bush is trying to get a friendlier government in Mid East.
Mid East....Friendlier..... Don't see those two words together much do you?

Answer 7

Old testament has lots of crazy stuff in it like Islam. People just overlook it. In the same passage that it says its a sin to sleep with another man its ok to rape and take slaves.

Leviticus 18, 19, and 20 lists all the sexual offenses, but there is one way to have a sexual encounter and escape the death penalty, and that is to sleep with slave girls.

Go to the website - it bit tongue in cheek but makes you think -

Levitcus 19:20 "If a man has sex with a slave girl he is not to be punished. She is a slave."

You can also commit sexual hanky panky, and still be in obedience to God's Word in the Bible, provided that, in addition to raping slaves, you also rape enemy women. When you are through abusing and raping them then you can just send them packing. (No really. Its Kosher. Its in the Bible!)

"When you go to war against your enemies and you see a beautiful woman and find her desirable, you may take her. If she ceases to please you send her away." Deut. 21:10
In another passage, the Bible makes clear that when committing rape during war time, it is important to only rape virgins, and to kill the rest of the women, and the little boys as well. However, this is God's Word, so naturally fairness and justice are emphasized in the following passage, which once again allows some sexual hanky panky.


"They waged war as god had commanded them and killed every male. But they kept the women as captives and took their wealth as spoil. Moses was enraged.

'So you spared the women? Kill every woman who has had sexual intercourse and kill every little boy, but keep the virgin girls for yourself. Divide them up evenly.'" Num. 31:7, 14

While you can rape foreigners, you are forbidden by law to marry them.

"I saw that the people were marrying foreigners. Their children were even learning foreign languages. I called down curses on them. I struck them and tore the hair out of their heads and made them swear by god, 'you will not marry foreigners.'" Neh. 13:23

"So I purged them of everything foreign. I drew up regulations defining everyone's duty. Remember me, oh god, for my happiness." Neh. 13:30

Answer 8

i have never heard Bush say that and i don't know about Hitler either.

i won't confuse Hitler of being a Christian. he was heavely involved in the occult. that was why he had the interest in the spear of Christ.

and as far as Bush goes. what kind of Christian would make devil horns which is the symbol of the iluminaty. what Christian would tell people to fear evil. aren't we suppose to not fear evil.

Answer 9
