HITLER: THE ATHEIST (Quiz Show)

See below for footnotes.~~~ So here I go again, addressing the absurd claim that Nazi atrocities are inextricably linked to atheism.

Maybe Hitler was indeed an atheist. I don't know. Who can? But given what he said on the subject throughout his whole life, I'd find that position pretty hard to defend. And what it had to do with his evil acts... well you get the idea of what I think of that argument.

Astute viewers will notice that throughout the movie I don't blame Hitler's actions upon his being a Christian. Indeed -- was he a Christian?! Some may differ with me on this, but I say No, he wasn't. Not in any practical sense of the label.
Saying his evil actions are linked to his status as a Christian either way would be as stupid as saying that they are linked to his moustache, or his atheism.
Indeed -- that's the point. Atheist or theist, Christian or Hindu, Catholic or Lutheran: none of it matters. HE WAS A NAZI: ISN'T THAT ENOUGH?
He was a frigging NAZI, with incredible political power that he'd achieved through shrewd statecraft over many years. Obviously THAT is the lethal combination. Not his moustache, not his vegetarianism, not his atheism/religion.
As close as I could come to linking religion with his actions was actually a portion of the script that didn't make it to the final cut, in which a description of totalitarianism is read out, the contestants are asked to identify what is being described, and it plays out that after all, totalitarianism and religion sound an awful lot like each other.
Initially I had intended to put the laugh segment last, but was afraid that the other sections might be too slow and boring to sit through, and people might leave before seeing all those fantastic quotes of Hitler talking about his love of the Creator etc. So -- if you think the vid goes downhill a bit after that, I kind of agree. It's just the best format I could come up with, and I tried them all, I think!

Great thanks to those who responded to my call for voice extras to carry out quite a task: recording themselves laughing their heads off for a full minute. The response was fantastic, and very very funny to listen to and mix.

Also, to those who helped me find videos of people claiming that Hitler was an atheist and did his evil in the name of atheism. ***Especially OGJimbo.*** The clip of Father Jonathon from FOX News I had in mind from the start. What an unbelievable twat to say what he said. Fuck you, Fr. Jonathon.
And to the others featured in the ads (anyone who'd put themselves in front of a camera and declare that Hitler acted out of atheism deserves to be ridiculed. The ad breaks are my contribution to that ridicule.) : if you DMCA me for including your clips, despite their certainly coming under FAIR USE for criticism; I'll put the video file on mediafire and it will be mirrored on hundreds of channels within a few hours. Shoot yourselves in the foot if you really really want to.

That's it for me for this year. Thanks very much for sharing and rating my vids. Happy 2011.

[Micro102103]

Those are your arguments? There is a flaw every few words, but let me point out the biggest 3.

1) The bible does not deem fetuses as having worth or as a life.

2) What is morally wrong with doing away with marriage? Explain without using the bible, as I can also use the bible to say that slavery is morally fine.

3) Sexually transmitted diseases comes from lack of protection. Now.... Which group promotes the disuse of protection and tends to teach abstinence only, which CAUSES unprotected sex?

[SlifJaq]

Sin is great! You should try it. Especially the sin of indifference... and sex.

[wordy birds]

do you think you are right?

[thegameulost]

In fact, it's as overcrowded as the kind of countries that have 0% atheist populations. The countries with 0% atheist populations are all third-world countries.

[thegameulost]

If a communist country naturally had that kind of an overpopulation problem, it kind of exposes your claim that a low religious population contributes to declines in population for the bullshit that it is.

[thegameulost]

I don't condone Communism as it is anti-freedom, and freedom is the only thing I worship, but I am illustrating an example of a country with a low religious population that had a critical overpopulation problem. Their country was so crowded that they needed to hire people to pack the passengers into the trains.

[thegameulost]

Actually it means that they popped out babies so fast that the government had to intervene to prevent the population from getting so high that everyone starves to death.

[Thechristiancullen]

Siunds like you agree with me- China is communist and persecutes religious freedom and also has a non- replacement fertility rate.

Atheism provides a culture of sterility and death

[Thechristiancullen]

Christianity recognises original sin, sins of ommission and sins of commission, something that islam, cults, religions and atheism reject. As a result all think they are not they bad and why muslims justify polygamy and hand amputations, atheists justify abortion and homosexuality and even criminals justify their crimes and blame society. Everyone thinks they are right = sin

[thegameulost]

Even if you were even close to raising a valid point, that's far better than the willful ignorance, genocide, slavery, witch-burning, rampant disease and starvation, and 99.999% poverty rate of Medieval Europe, where the church actually was a political leader of most of what is now Europe.

[thegameulost]

Yet the People's Republic of China, which persecutes all religions, is so overpopulated that the government had to impose a one child per household law. Your argument that atheism causes a decrease in population is therefore invalid.

[thegameulost]

Almost all modern industrialized nations have no official state religion and as such have separation of church and state. Most present-day theocracies are third world countries. I rest my case and leave you with the challenge of naming 20 theocrasies whose standards of living are demonstrably superior to those of Japan, Australia, most of western Europe, and the United States, which is technically secular, although there is some religious influence and a lower quality of life there.
