Do you find some atheists resemble Nazis?

Question

Ban religion, feel that they know better for you than you do. Have zero tolerance, want total control so that a minority agenda can control the masses. We live in a country dominated by Christians and they have the rights to excercise their beliefs, why do you want to take away my rights so bad?

I know Hitler was a Catholic, but the Catholic Church through its actions has shown that it is not a Christian institution and does not follow the word of God. I am considered a heretic by them, so Atheists need to stop using the Catholic Church as an example of Christianity. I support the constitution and do not want to take away anyones rights. But, I will admit that I do not want to grant special, never before seen, rights to homosexuals.

Answer 1

Of course they do. In fact, Hitler himself was an Atheist, he was raised a Catholic, (I bet most Atheists here were once raised as Christians). Then he obviously converted to Atheism, why would a Christian believer kill innocent people?

Atheism has a pretty violent history, it surpassed Christianity and the Islam by their violent acts. The Nazis (Atheists) killed millions of millions of Jews then, that is so heartbreaking :'(

It's true though, Hitler and the Nazi were Christians, but only for a short time (before they started to kill), then they all converted to Atheism during their mass murders. Atheists just want to control the world. There will be new Atheist Nazis soon, and the Xtians are their target. All the Atheists resemble the Nazis, their looks, acts and personalities are similar to the Nazis and Hitler.

Matt, your point there is 100% correct.

Answer 2

Nazis were not Christians; their government philosophy was their religion; only Nazis can resemble Nazis.

I have one sibling who is an atheist, and the rest of us are Christians. We are all different, and we are all the same.
We love our family, and repect each other deeply.

Eventually, all people decide on a philosophy which is right for themselves; it may not be a perfect fit, but we all want to express ourselves in a unique and personal way.
Being a Christian, a Jew, an Atheist, a Muslim, ALL indicate where we have been in our lives, and where we are going.

I know Christians, Atheists and others who feel that "their" way is the "only" way.

I respect and love my brothers and sisters. They have chosen for themselves, just as I have chosen, and our children have chosen.

We must be comfortable with the lives we choose, and the people we have in those lives. I do not believe that everyone has to be like me--more importantly, if we were ALL alike, we would live in a very boring world.

I say: let's concentrate on the quality of the person, rather than relying on labels, whether they be placed on us by others, or self-imposed.

Answer 3

Hitler was a Christian and a believer..so does Gobbles, Hess, Eichmann, Himmler and Heydrich. I don't see the resemblance.

Now let see the resemblace you are talking about.

"When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you may nations...then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy." Deuteronomy 7:1-2, NIV.

"...do not leave alive anything that breaths. Completely destroy them...as the Lord your God has commanded you..." Deuteronomy 20:16, NIV

Exodus 32:28 "...Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor. And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men."

Leviticus 21:16-23 "...Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;"

Numbers 21:34-35 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land."

Now I know that the Nazis were into the so-called perfect Aryan race...without disabled people...They are also into genocide.

Let see some more resemblance:
We have enough votes to run the country. And when the people say, "We've had enough," we are going to take over.
-- Pat Robertson, speech given to the April, 1980 "Washington for Jesus" rally, quoted from Robert Boston, The Most Dangerous Man in America, p. 29

Individual Christians are the only ones really -- and Jewish people, those who trust God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob -- are the only ones that are qualified to have the reign, because hopefully, they will be governed by God and submit to Him.
-- Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, January 11, 1985, defending his stance that only Christians and Jews are fit to hold public office

I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!
-- Rev Jerry Falwell, America Can Be Saved, 1979 pp. 52-53, from Albert J Menendez and Edd Doerr, The Great Quotations on Religious Freedom

Do I need to show more?

Answer 4

The motive to why a few facts says that a top quantity are lutherans is due to the fact that you routinely grew to be a member of the lutheran (state) church if you happen to have been born earlier than 1996. That could also be why the numbers are declining. E.g. I was once borned earlier than 1996 (in Sweden) and hence grew to be a member of the church. I have by no means believed in a god, and the equal is going for plenty of different Swedes. Some depart the church, as I did, however a few keep there as participants of the church, however do not consider. You very seldom listen Swedish humans speak approximately faith, and the equal is correct for Swedish politicians. A baby-kisser who says anything like "In god we believe" might lose votes, and humans might seem at time and believe that he is bizarre.

Answer 5

"Do you find some christians resemble Nazis?

Ban non-christian religion, feel that they know better for you than you do. Have zero tolerance, want total control so that a minority agenda can control the masses. We live in a country dominated by free thinkers and they have the rights to exercise their beliefs, why do you want to take my rights so bad?"

Now... you see how silly your question is when the shoe is (just as easily) put on the other foot?

Answer 6

Really!

I thought there was more of connection between theism and fascism.

We'll look at Hitler and the OT God.

Both have an all-power leader who is beyond criticism.

He is also ruthless. The OT God murdered countless of people by drowning them (in the Flood), ordering his followers to massacre inhabitants of various cities, and the first born of Egypt. Hitler murdered many people, in his death camps, and ordering his followers to massacre inhabitants of various cities.

Both leaders strictly regulated sexuality and social roles for men and women.

Both did not have problems with slavery, and in fact, both promoted it.

Both had real enemies. But they also had more imagined enemies. For Hitler, it was the Jews, Communists, and most other people who did not agree with him. For Christians, it is the devil, atheists, gays, and most other people who do not agree with them.

They also a book that is unalterable, and contains the words of the leader. For the Christians, it is the Bible, for the Nazis, Mein Kampf.

You might argue the this is unfair, surely Christians have matured since the dark ages. But they still have their OT rules which commands them to murder. See Lev. 20: 9, 13, Lev 21: 9, among others.

I still remember Jonestown, where thousands of people were murdered.

So let me ask you a question.

If you thought God, or a representative of God, commanded you to kill someone, would you??

If you do not, then God might let you live, but it would be hard to argue that you follow Christianity, instead of just picking and choosing which laws and commandments to obey.

If you did kill in His name, then you are leading credibility to my argument.

Answer 7

That's a pretty bold comparison. It's also unfair and untrue. Can you specifically point out how atheists want to control you or take away your religious freedoms? We're usually just trying to defend ourselves against forced Christianity in public places, especially schools. The beauty of freedom is we call all have different beliefs and do our own thing, as long as we respect the rights of others to disagree. I don't understand how Christians are a powerful majority yet so many of them feel persecuted.

Answer 8

I'm an atheist, but I don't want to take away your rights. You can do and believe in whatever you want as long as you don't harm anyone and/or go against the law in any way.

I'm sorry if your experiences with atheists weren't the best so far, but I assure you that there are atheists out there who do respect religious people.

I think comparing atheists to Nazis isn't right, though. Religion and politics shouldn't have anything to do with each other.

Answer 9

Under Nazi rule, christian school prayer was required.
Hitler was a christian.
Nazis persecuted the minorities (a little know fact involving 6 million Jews)
Atheists don't want to ban religion.... we just don't want it being forced on us through the government.

Where are the similarities again?

Answer 10

Humm...this sounds familiar.
Ban free thought, feel that they know better for you than you do. Have zero tolerance, wnat total contral that fundalmentalist agenda can control the masses. We live in a country dominated by free speach and all have the right to exersize their beliefs, why do YOU want to take MY rights so bad?

Answer 11

Atheist have rights too sweetie. We have the right to send our children to public schools to learn science, not mythology. Most atheist don't want to ban religion. We just don't want it in our faces all the time. No one is taking away Christian rights. The culture wars a a myth.
