Christianity is no more dangerous than Atheism

The Christian Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition are not applicable to modern day reality. What happened several hundred years ago is not the reality of Christianity today. These very "Christians" fought an archaic war between Catholics and Protestants as well. This was not a war caused by any modern Christian concept that is accepted by any notable amount of Christians if hardly any at all. These ancient wars were based on the views of the time and the monotheistic leadership roles of the time. Much of the knowledge we have today was not known at the time of these battles. Can you remember any time this century where the "Christian army" stood against the "Islamic army"? Or the Catholics and Protestants went head to head in a battle royale? The answer is no. The midevil war and religious concepts are archaic and have no bareing on modern Christianity. In that day, democracy as we know it today was not very vast. To not fight on behalf of your king's will was heracy, and you would be killed and considered a disgrace. Superstitions of the time were much more widespread and powerful than today. Lightning and thunder was God's anger. Meteors burning through the atmosphere were signs and wonders. Floods were God. Nothing of this matter was nature based or science based. Everything must have been God somehow. This concluded with humans beings afraid of the nature of physics and scientifically explained phenomenon. The Bible depicts humanity becoming more intelligent and having knowledge in the end of days. We have much more knowledge today, which wasn't hard to predict, but the truth remains. We are not so superstitious today because we know "why" on so many more things that used to have no answer. We also live in a world where individuals in the modern world have much more individual rights and education abilities. It is also more accepted now to stand against leadership or go against the grain as an individual. Hitler was born Catholic just as Stalin was born into the Russian Orthodox Church and Mao was raised as a Buddhist. These facts prove nothing as many people reject their religious upbringing, as these three men did. From an early age, historian Allan Bullock writes, Hitler "had no time at all for Catholic teaching, regarding it as a religion fit only for slaves and detesting its ethics." www.catholiceducation.org/en/controversy/common-misconceptions/was-hitler-a-christian.html Claiming that Hitler's rhetoric makes him a Christian is the same as confusing political opportunism with personal conviction. Hitler himself says in Mein Kampf that his public statements should be understood as propaganda that bears no relation to the truth but is designed to sway the masses. Hitler originally wanted to call his forthcoming book Viereinhalb Jahre (des Kampfes) gegen L"ge, Dummheit und Feigheit, or Four and a Half Years (of Struggle) Against Lies, Stupidity and Cowardice. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... In Mein Kampf (page 278)Hitler speaks of the evolution of organic things and says "the strong will rule", a reference to the concept of "survival of the fittest". It's typically nontypical for a Christian to ascribe to the Theory of Evolution and was much more so in the 1920's, 1930's, and 1940's. Christians today, who are a less religious and more laidback version of Christianity than in the 1920's-1940's, and are much more scientifically educated, do not often accept Evolution as a fact, but Hitler did, and not of 2015 ideology but the ideology of the 1920's-1940's ideology. If I seem wrong, go ask your grandparents if they are available. I note that Hitler was chewing on the notion of using the word "stupidity" in the title of his book according to this source. It is hard for me to believe Hitler was a Christian because his actions say he was not. I personally do not ever use the word "stupid" towards someone, and it is because of my Christian beliefs. A look over of all of my posts on this forum is welcome if deemed neccessary. I have never used the word as a reference to anyone I was in disagreement with on this forum. Why? Because I reverence and respect God and His commands based on the Christian Bible and its commands. New International Version (1 John 4:8) Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. So what is love? 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 New International Version 4"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5"It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Did Hitler fear these words or even care based on his actions? I think it is more than fair to say no.
