Who is more evil?

Question

Hitler or Bush?

I say Bush because he claimed to be inspired by God .. he is both a killer and a false prophet

Answer 1

Equally evil. But maybe Bush is a little bit more evil than Hitler.

Answer 2

HITLER, no doubt!!!! What a question..... read a bit about history before you say this stuff... about the millions of innocent people murdered by Hitler and the atrocities of WW2 that he started!!
And Hitler probably did believe that he had some kind of "divine" mission, at least he frequently said that in his speeches. No, he was not an atheist, he had his personal interpretation of Christianity and spoke a whole lot about the "Almighty" and the "providence" that he believed to be on his side. There was also a quasi-religious personality cult for him as for communist leaders, and in Nazi ideology he was very much seen as a "prophet" and "Mein Kampf" was like a holy book for them.

Answer 3

Your incomplete question leaves out much important information. I know you mean Adolf Hitler, but do you mean George Bush (father or son)? Somehow I don't think you are after any important answers, just a slogan to rant by. I think the person whose picture you posted (Shamil Basayev) was evil.
To answer your question, Adolf Hitler, the Nazi Party, the SS and Gestapo, and the German people and their European Allies were more evil than George Bush, the father or the son.

Answer 4

Hitler also admitted to being inspired by God.

Hitler began his regime by convincing his nation that all non-Aryans, especially Jews, were 'terrorists' trying to take over Germany. Bush has done the same with Muslims.

Bush has no desire to keep the Geneva Pact going. Fortunately, we have the power to not allow that to happen. There isn't much difference between a concentration camp and a place where torture is allowed. My (mainly Jewish) family members believe that all torture is inherently wrong and will only lead to similar "concentration camps". Hitler succeeded in denying the rights of others. Bush is attempting to do the same.

Hitler used Christianity as a tool for enforcing his ideas. To quote: "My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly, it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people. And when I look on my people I see them work and work and toil and labor, and at the end of the week they have only for their wages wretchedness and misery. When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil, if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom today this poor people are plundered and exposed." "I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty." "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so." (http://atheism.about.com/library/quotes/...
Sounds a bit like our President, eh?

Hitler spread propaganda against a huge group of people, especially Jews. Bush is doing the same to Muslims.

History should be telling those that believe in the dirty war that the tactics used by our government today are not much different than those used by Hitler more than half a century ago. The history should also be telling you that such tactics NEVER work!

Thus, one is not more evil than the other. Both cloak their evil in 'nationalism' and religion. Both would commit genocide against a large group of people. And they have both, sadly, been terribly successful at it.

Answer 5

Until Bush sets up concentration camps and starts murdering millions of people based on their religion alone (notice I said MILLIONS of people), Hitler wins. You may disagree with Bush's politics, as I do, but you can't compare his idiocy with Hitler's willing slaughter of the Jews.

Answer 6

How is this a religion question? But anyway, let's see ... over 6 million people intentionally killed vs. a person who believes he is doing good for the entire world even if it (sadly but unavoidably) involves innocent people dying, though you can't understand his true motives, so you chalk it up to evil. Not too hard to figure out.

Why not compare against people who have killed many more? Mao? Stalin? Because that runs up against your ideology?

Answer 7

Eugenics by way of genocide is evil, but the spread of democracy to the unwilling by use of lethal force is nearly as bad.

“Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.”

-C.S. Lewis

And why does this cycle of violence persist? To oppress all of us- not merely our enemies.

“When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty and there is nothing to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader.”

-Plato

Answer 8

What? Are you trying to compare Hitler with any human being on earth? Hitler killed 6 millionsssssssss Jewsssssss.

Answer 9

Hitler by far. No comparison at all.

Bush may have started some wars that are debatable but certain NEVER advocated genocide on any level. If he did, don't think US could not have killed far MORE civilians in countries where they went.

Answer 10

most definitely Hitler, at least Bush isn't trying to kill people
