"Christianity is a rebellion against natural law, a protest against nature. Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the systematic cultivation of the human failure."

"The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death.... When understanding of the universe has become widespread... Christian doctrine will be convicted of absurdity....
"Christianity has reached the peak of absurdity.... And that's why someday its structure will collapse....
"...the only way to get rid of Christianity is to allow it to die little by little....

"Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing more senseless, nor any more indecent way of turning the idea of the Godhead into a mockery....transubstantiation>....
"When all is said, we have no reason to wish that the Italians and Spaniards should free themselves from the drug of Christianity. Let's be the only people who are immunised against the disease."

Some of his quotes:
From Mein Kampf:
From a speech in 1922:
Hitler is also quoted as saying:

<--- Quote by Former U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
"And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

As you can see by Dinodocs post, Hitler was quite a corrupted man. Certainly you don't believe in Hitler's ways, do you Asher?HAVE A DAY.

Frankly, I've always found any attempt at conversion, be it Christian to atheist or visa versa, to essentially being a long, frustrating attempt at masturbation without anything to show for it at day's end."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine
"The subject of onanism is inexhaustable." --Sigmund Freud

Lincoln, all of this is irrelevant. There are those who hold a religious belief that Pi=3. Does this preclude us from teaching that Pi is an irrational number?
I don't claim to know the exact interpretation in all instances but I do know enough about it to say that it cannot be disected correctly by someone whose intention is to ridicule it. The Bible says plainly that the message is hidden from the non-spiritual. And people can believe anything they want but that does not change reality.

I'm not trying to ridicule the Bible; I'm demonstrating that a major segment of your society believes (or believed until fairly recently, at least) that Pi = 3. I was then asking Skilord to apply his reasoning as to why evolutionary biology shouldn't be taught in school to this subject, something he refused to do (he tried to draw attention off the question by starting a separate argument that the Bible shouldn't be interpreted to meant Pi = 3).12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Reminds me of the "hate the sin, love the sinner" attitude most of you take with homosexuals. Awesome job.
DinoDoc: Has anything changed, or are all of those quotes against Hitler being a Christian still hearsay? All of the public records show Hitler proclaiming himself to be Christian (see my quotes), but somewhere along the lines "private conversations" were unveiled by Christians which "proved" that Hitler was atheist."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
