@baysideful  "I don't have enough faith to be an Athiest."

But you clearly are ignorant enough to utter such a fallacious statement!

[lonewolfM16]

@pooptypeuptypants55c more like we need to respect people not ideas

@53dumey What's like dark matter?

I don't think we have proved dark matter's existence. What's your point?

[53dumey]

@N64isgreat

Like Dark Matter ???

If it truly exists then why do they have to create it to prove it ?

@myowngenesis I know that all religious people are deluded because delusion described the process of believing in something that is stupid and wrong. I dont expect a serious debate let alone a logical one most of the time but it's the only way to make a superstitious person think critically about their own faith, depending on how reliant or stupid they might be. I know that not all religious people are stupid but they are still wrong and opinions are not going to change that.

@53dumey whether or not Hitler was religious is not important, he claimed to be religious whenever it benefited him politically. The problem is that fact that he used it as a justification that people would have read and agreed with.

Also, wasn't he in prison when he wrote that book?

[53dumey]

@N64isgreat

So, getting a Minister of propoganda to write your Biography has nothing to do with it ?

You are the same as the Uneducated Germans in the 40's !!!!

[myowngenesis]

@N64isgreat well, then there is no reason to prolong the debate. I have no intention of arguing whether how and which concerning anything by simply ignoring and refusing to acknowledge your presupposition that I am deluded because I believe in the sky daddy or whatever. When the starting point on your view on the adversary is a condensending one, then don't expect any serious debate with any believer, regardless of the level of fanaticism in question. I'm pretty liberal, but just as bad to you.

@53dumey Wtf is stalinism and wtf has Stalin got to do with anything?

[N64isgreat]

@53dumey It was more of an act of charisma or support rallying tool than propaganda. Even if it was propaganda, he still tried to use it as a way of justifying what he wanted to do and then obviously did. He was also christened, and christenings are how christianity decides how christian the population is. By that judgement, the church can categorise Hitler as a christian.

@myowngenesis You are assuming that I idolise Mr Dawkins and that I look down on you individually. Don't make these assumptions just to make yourself look like a better person.

Yes, if you believe in the big magical sky daddy then you are deluded and you would be considered insane if it wasn't so sociably normal to be religious. You may have been indoctrinated, I don't know. You may have chose to believe in it yourself after childhood. You tell me which.

OK, so now you all heard it: muzzies find a septic tank and blow yourself up, be a good sport and do what you are told.
