    I disagree. From the US behavior toward Jewish european immigration before[^] and during[^] WW2 to its refusal to bomb railways leading to Auschwitz[^] through the silence maintained on information got in 1942 and 1943 about the slaughters and the economic collaboration of major US societies with the Nazis, I think the US has much to be ashamed of.

      So it's not enough that the poor people were being gassed...You think they should have been bombed, too? I don't know what's more offensive...That comment, or the fact that your nation willingly permitted Germany to enter your country and round up your Jews.

            Yes, but I think if you look at some of the quotations of Mein Kampf you get a bit of a different idea of his "religious" views. They are highly distorted visions of Christianity. I talked about it in another post in this thread.

            there is no doubt he considered himself a prophet... however the term of religious is IMHO misleading in this context

              Actually he suppressed Christian Churches in Germany and very infrequently invoked Christianity, so he was by no means a religious fanatic (if he was even a theist). The above quote was probably taken from a speech directed at pious people in order to win them over. In fact, he stopped attending church (he was Catholic as a youth) altogether as a teenager and discarded the teachings in favor of a secular-based aryan (derived from darwinism) mentality. His zeal was derived from secular nationalistic desires to expand his race. But I agree that fanatics (especially the atheist variety) act in similar ways.

                  Look man, I'm not a Christian. I'm not religious at all. In fact, the Bible, the Qu'ran, what-have-you are nothing more than allegorical stories to me. Sure, the ideas and morals are nice, but beyond that they aren't worth taking seriously or fighting over. My bible is modern physics. It's much nicer than your typical religion-of-the-month because people of all colours and races can practice it without killing one another. That's the beauty of it. Furthermore, I don't support Hitler if that is what you are trying to imply. I also couldn't care less about the crap that spills out of the mouth of Hitler, Bush, Osama or whoever. They're all idiots. As far as I'm concerned Bush and Osama can have each other. Each one uses the other to justify his "cause". It's pretty stupid and equates to the behaviour of a 5 year old child. If people can't get along in this stupid world and stop arguing over petty things like religion, well then humanity deserves to be wiped out. It's pathetic. As for Hitler, well, he's a completely different story than Bush or Osama. Under his "rule", millions were killed and systematically exterminated in specialized camps. Neither Osama nor Bush are guilty of anything that serious.

                    No, but from various books and articles. Google "nazi occultism", and you'll find lots of information on the subject.

                            Ironically that's the same religion practiced by Hitler. Physicalism (the modern religion that most modern leftists follow without even realizing) was born out of Darwinism, which is the basis of eugenics and consequently the concept of an Aryan Nation.

                              Eugenics isn't a science. It's a perversion. The transition from Darwinisn to eugenics to Aryanism is hardly what I would call scientific. It's absurd to equate "physicalism" with the ideology of Hitler. Besides, physicalism is metaphysics. It's not science at all. :rolleyes:

                                It's not known with any certainty. What is known, however, is that: 1) He did not attend church. 2) He actively put the secular state above churches. 3) He actively suppressed churches. 4) He vocally rejected the Catholic Church (the one under which he was raised) when he became a teenager and did not subsequently join any others. 5) The philosophy of the Aryan Nation is a eugenics-based philosophy, which is implemented Darwinism. It was very atypical of Christians of the day to accept Darwinism (let alone practice it) as there was little scientific evidence supporting it. Germany was a very Christian nation back then, and he would not have had any success with the people if he had publicly condemned Christianity. However, he actively rejected it in his personal life and in practice approached it similarly to a modern day leftist.

                                  Actually it technically falls under genetics and is even actively (and acceptably) being practiced in the UK today. Doctors have begun testing babies for "imperfections" in the womb so that they can be aborted if less than perfect. I agree that it is perverse, but it's definately a science and is based on the basis of physicalism.

                                  Darwinism is the study of natural selection and eugenics is its practice. It's less of a leap than it is a step between the two.

                                  Physicalism is the metaphysics of science. It states what it believes science implies. Whether you give any thought to metaphysics or not is really irrelevant. The fact is that your statement that modern physics is "your bible" means that you adhere to the beliefs of physicalism. It does not imply that you support eugenics, but to imply that Hitler's fanaticism grew out of Christianity is absurd, because it was clearly an implementation of Darwinism. -- modified at 11:19 Wednesday 14th June, 2006

                                    Actually we're trying to eliminate the hate in a peaceful and intellectual way. We don't like people being manipulated into hating us, so we're waging an intellectual counterattack for the minds of our youth.

                                      Actually it technically falls under genetics and is even actively (and acceptably) being practiced in the UK today. Doctors have begun testing babies for "imperfections" in the womb so that they can be aborted if less than perfect. I agree that it is perverse, but it's definately a science and is based on the basis of physicalism.

                                      Darwinism is the study of natural selection and eugenics is its practice. It's less of a leap than it is a step between the two.

                                      Physicalism is the metaphysics of science. It states what it believes science implies. Whether you give any thought to metaphysics or not is really irrelevant. The fact is that your statement that modern physics is "your bible" means that you adhere to the beliefs of physicalism. It does not imply that you support eugenics, but to imply that Hitler's fanaticism grew out of Christianity is absurd, because it was clearly an implementation of Darwinism. -- modified at 11:19 Wednesday 14th June, 2006

                                      Eugenics is a philosophy. It is not a science being practiced. It is a social issue. While genetic testing may aid it's acceptance/rejection, the fact that genetic tests are utilized does not a science make it. If anything, it's a social program.

                                      Eugenics is not the practice of Darwinism. Eugenics is pre-selective breeding. There's a huge difference.

                                      Stating that I use modern physics as my bible is not philosophically tantamount to stating I believe in physicalism. Physicalism is monist theory in disguise (see: monads) for which we have Leibniz to "thank". Don't be fooled. While believers in metaphysics claim that they support physics, this isn't actually true. They accept the existence of stupid intangibles such as "qualia". It's ridiculous, not to mention nonphysical, and no better than a religious argument. You make think it's the same thing, but as a practitioner, I reject it utterly and completely.

                                          Yes, that was the impression I was getting. Holocaust, Shmolocaust, what about Palestine? No wonder Jews are leaving France in droves. Ryan

                                          Unfortunately, many other ACTUAL problems are left behind, in favor of Holocaust and related topic. I don't mean that Holocaust was not a big problem, but it is no more actual.... :wtf:
