Atheists, you know you have a history of violence?

Question

Remember Hitler? the last time I checked that he was raised a Catholic, then he became an Atheist, this goes for the Nazis too, they all became Atheists. Atheism is way bloodier than the history of Islam and Christianity.

You guys (Atheists) killed millions of millions pf people, but you claim to peaceful and loving, yeah right. Who's going to be your new killer leader today? don't blame Christians for the deaths of the innocent Jews, you know who to blame really, which is YOU!

I never heard Hitler saying "I kill you in the name of God", or "I am and I always will be a Christian".

Also, I'm not a Christian.

I'M A WICCAN!!

Answer 1

You are sooooo Right! It's because they have NO MORAL COMPASS!

Answer 2

How does the phrase "Raised as a Catholic" sounds to you?

Yes .... Atheism is bloodier than Islam and Christianity .... please , go ahead and complain to the atheist god ...... oh yes .... I forgot ... There is NO standard atheist bible or god to follow.

I had never claim atheists to be peaceful and loving. In fact there are murderers and Rapists amongst atheists. It is like I had never claim Wiccan to be evil and wicked just because history has stated these witches and wizard created plagues. It is the individuals.

Anyway, Hitler WAS a christian. You are either extreme or you are poorly informed. You are perhaps the most ill informed Wiccan I knew, I am really beginning to doubt if you are a real Wiccan, more like a christian in disguise, trying to undermine the Wiccan. If that is the case, you are really despicable.

Most witches I know were just fun people. In fact, we played some games together with D&D type of scenarios and they can think of spells beyond our wildest imagination. Ok, these games were deem "Satanic" by the christians, but then who cares.

I am an atheist, but I had studied religion all my life, from Christianity, to Muslim, to Wiccan, to Paganism, Taoism, Hinduism and finally buddhism. I know the histories of these religions, and I can easily tell you which are the ones that causes the most wars in the name of their religion.

Answer 3

If I'm not mistaken, Hitler was not killing people in the name of Atheism. Did you read "Mein Kamp?" Because he ended it by saying, "I believe, today, that my conduct in proposing these things is in accordance with the instruction of the Almighty Creator." In his book, he defends his plans to annihilate certain populations by quoting passages of the Old Testament, particularly from the first five books of Moses. It was the fact that Hitler's philosophy was based so heavily on the ideology of the Old Testament,and that the population believed it to be the word of God, that convinced half of the western world that Hitler was carrying out the instructions of God. I don't know where you "checked," but it wasn't Hitler's books or history book...In fact (you can check this out too...) Pope Pius XI made "Mein Kamp" required reading for all Catholic secondary schools in Europe 1 year after its release. And Hitler was still a member of the Catholic church during the Holocaust, and the Pope never publicly denounced Hitler's actions, and he was NEVER excommunicated. However, while the Catholic church didn't believe that systematically sending 6 million people to be murdered in gas chambers was a sin, or crime against the church, or whatever...Galileo was, in fact, excommunicated and tried for heresy. And the Catholic church did not recant those charges until1996.

Answer 4

Dear hahaha no,

I will assume your rant was legitimate and not solely to push people's buttons. I'm not sure where all of your misplaced anger is coming from, and I do not mean this to be mean at all, but you might want to consult a specialist if you are not already in counseling.

I am puzzled why a professed Wiccan would have so much anger toward a freethinker? I would suspect Christianity is more your enemy than any atheist. I am sure many Wiccans out there shuddered to see you identify yourself as such.

As others have correctly pointed out, Hitler was certainly not an atheist. In fact he was strongly anti-atheist and an avowed Catholic during the Holocaust. Below is how he viewed himself with the sources noted.

Once appointed to the Chancellorship of Germany, Hitler banned freethought organizations and launched an “anti-godless” movement. In a 1933 speech he declared: “We have . . . undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out.”

I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator.
— Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf, pp. 46

Christ was the greatest early fighter in the battle against the world enemy, the Jews... The work that Christ started but could not finish, I will conclude.
— Adolf Hitler

Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of Almighty God: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.
— Adolf Hitler

I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so
— Adolph Hitler, to Gen. Gerhard Engel, 1941

As a lasting thought...

"Good people will do good things, and bad people will do bad things. But for good people to do bad things -- that takes religion."

Answer 5

One: The entire human race has a history of violence.

Two: Atheists never claim to be "peaceful and loving." Atheists, as a group, don't claim much of anything beyond the nonexistence of god. Atheism is not a religion, it's a lack thereof. You don't get many organized atheist groups and those that do exist don't represent the majority of them.

And Three: of course you never heard Hitler saying that. You weren't alive back then. In fact, unless I miss my guess, you weren't even alive in the 80's. You're what, 12? 14? A very immature 15? Go to bed. Go to the mall with your friends. Go do your history homework instead of posting tirades on subjects you don't understand. You're not a revolutionary genius. You're an angry child with too much spare time on your hands. So give it a rest.

Answer 6

You're wrong on so many levels... Hitler was never an atheist. Had he been he would have not killed the Jews, or at least not just the Jews.

"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 for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, 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.

-Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922
Future generations should remember that Adolph Hitler could not have come into power without the support of the Protestant and Catholic churches and the German Christian populace.

Answer 7

You poor child. You don't read too well yet, do you? My sympathies.(Bet you don't make it to the bottom of this answer...)

"For every village there is the torch -- the teacher, and the extinguisher, the clergy." Victor Hugo

Maybe in a few years this may make sense to to, and you might even discover who Victor Hugo was.

And, for your information, Hitler never was an atheist... he remain Catholic his entire life.

Christianity, the Crusades, the Thirty Years wars, the Hundred Years' War, the fighting between the Irish and England.... I could go on and on. Politics and religion account for more deaths than any atheists, my friend. Atheist don't engage in wars,,,,, they aren't interested in converting any one to any religion....because they don't have one! But religions have dis-emboweled people --while they were conscious --!!!!!! so that they would be free of their "wrong" beliefs... (a typical thing done by the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages.) My, you know so little history..

(I win.)

Answer 8

Erm, you seem to be misinformed... Hitler spent his entire life a religious man, though sometimes a bit critical of Christianity in public. He wanted religious neutrality for Germany because he was scared of the political power the churches had... If you want to attribute genocide to atheists, go with Stalin, he actually was an atheist.. But saying one person who possessed a certain belief or lacked a certain belief did something, doesn't really logically imply anything at all about the rest of those people...

Answer 9

Have you forgotten how many people were burned at the stake by Christians, under the guise of "witchcraft"? And of the Crusades? Christianity is the MOST violent of religions. So don't try to start that.

Also, Hitler was not an atheist. He was Catholic. Just adds a few to the Christian death toll, huh? Who are you going to blame now?

Answer 10

Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler

"Therefore, I am convinced that I am acting as the agent of our Creator. By fighting off the Jews, I am doing the Lord's Work."

Adolph Hitler at a Nazi Christmas celebration in 1926:

"Christ was the greatest early fighter in the battle against the world enemy, the Jews ... The work that Christ started but could not finish, I -- Adolf Hitler -- will conclude."

In a Reichstag speech in 1938:

"I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator. By warding off the Jews, I am fighting for the Lord's work."


Would you like to do a bit more research before slinging accusations?

Answer 11

Whoa! Where do you think anti-semitism came from? It came from Christians blaming jews for the death of Christ. Why do you think Jews blame Christians for the holocaust? What about the crusades? The witch hunts? What about all the holy wars that have ever been fought? You really need to do some more research if you are going to be making huge claims like that
