Have you even read Hitler's book? Do you have any idea? He was a Christian creationist- he neither understood or accepted real evolution but instead subscribed to the notions of "social Darwinism" - a movement that began as a misunderstanding of how evolution applied to the survival of humanity. He stated very frequently how that he was "defending" his nation from the Jew, and he used divine inspiration in the pursuit of his faith-based initiatives. He believed in Christ very deeply...

The more one believes they know, surely the less they know.

The one who believes they know everything, surely knows nothing.

The one who believes they know nothing, at least knows something.

This is our evolution, men's head, oh, I mean, psycopaths everywhere, we will not use what is not useful, and here good things aren't functional..... intelligence can be a god, violence is a parallel topic. So, sexist men, what do you admire? what are you?

Some de-scent on the graph too.

@The1066Al than you have done little if no research on the entire period of Catholic history leading up to, during, and continuing after WW2.

[PaleHorseWC2]

@The1066Al Social Darwinism is a complete an utter separate thing from the theory of evolution. It is used in sociology to describe a criminal behavior of "If they wanted it, they should've hid it better." Akin to identifying as a wolf, the 'fittest' amongst the sheep. Furthermore, nobody but Hitler decides what Hitler believes. You don't get to retroactively declare him to not be fitting your own definition of your religion. And if you don't see how Hitler could believe in Jesus, a 'Jew'

[The1066Al]

@Cyraside Hitler was no follower of Jesus Christ. How could he be, when Jesus was a Jew, and who said that "salvation is of the Jews"? The idea that all people are made in the image of God EXCLUDES racism. But racism is not excluded in a philosophy which makes it easy to believe that some races are less evolved than others, and that teaches a brutal law of survival of the fittest. Hitler, the liar, may have paid lip service to Christianity, but his policies were consistent with Darwinian ideas.

What about the science that is killing the world. The red algae from fertilizers. That put you in an instant coma if you walk into them...our science is killing us...or is it the moral men of science? On the edge knowing they could be wrong still? In my opinion they are reducing life on this planet. It's as though, it is their main goal. They being the Elitist. The real owners of The Corporation & World Bank. A single cell, that can see all things... =) chem trails, fluoride, Eco Science

@boyleb1 The hell it is. Did you know that the Catholic Church & several high priests had a "rat line" going on for many Nazis to escape from Germany before the war ended. Because killing Jews is, and always has been- an all too religious-minded dream. So has racism, inequality, etc. But what's most humorous is how that I'm suddenly "gay" simply for not agreeing with you and pointing out the obvious. What's more to say from someone who fears mortality & subscribes to an ego-centrist worldview.

@seeker425 we must close the distance, between the push button order of the internet, and my axe through your face

[boyleb1]

@Cyraside this is, unfortunately, untrue. and you are gay.

[Paetaor]

@gtg309v Dang. That is deep.

Personally I think that I know less than I know.
