But from same article: "Many historians believe that the Nazis intended to eradicate Christianity in Germany after victory in the war." "Nazi ideology...
I just feel that before we jump into a discussion about cranberries, we at least inform ourselves of 10 important facts about them: https://texaspeppe...
If you guys are interested in Hitler's religious beliefs, you can read them here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Adolf_Hitler#:~:tex...
Did you grow up in the U.S. South? Mormons have historically been especially disfavored in that region, although that is changing. Mormon theology is ...
I still think placement of Nazi nationalism as a religious movement is a specious argument, fully understanding Hitler's use of whatever was available...
Anti-semitism predates the Protestants and Christianity itself. As to whether Hitler used prior prejudices against Jews to his advantage, he did, but ...
But I see the question to the individual to be a subjective inquiry, in terms of what he prefers as opposed to what society prefers. If I think my eth...
I just got a copy of The Will to Believe in old school paperback. I'm either getting really old, or it's the microfiche version. /uploads/resized/file...
Futilly enough, there is no election, so a nomination will serve no purpose, ironically enough. Curiously enough, I nominate this post as greatest pos...
Not really. You presented the question starkly enough that the response seemed unavoidable. If it's nothing but trouble, like a broken leg, then why w...
Funny you criticized his hamburger. I was going to tell him I piss on his hamburger, but I thought he may read that as mean spirited, so I stepped slo...
An interesting fact about many of the churches of Southern Appalachia is that they're entirely unaffiliated with any denomination. Unlike major denomi...
I liked the boldness of the performance, unapologetic in its absurdity, flamboyant and uniquely creative. I mean all those things. It also sounded lik...
I offer the Mormons as a counterexample of a Protestant denomination with a hierarchical structure, with its President afforded the status of prophet,...
This article addresses this question, making the interesting point that literalism as we know it today, has its roots in the Protestant Reformation. I...
I like this I think because of the roasted peppers. I like when they sort of collapse in the oven and have a nice char. I might add some Balsamic vine...
The Nazis didn't murder the Jews because of religious differences. A Jew who disclaimed his Judaism was no safer than a devout one. Nazi Germany is a ...
This objection is irrelevant to my point, which is that the intepretation is what is relevant, not the text. I highlighted that point in my last post....
That approach I think works for any religion, and I think it adds tremendous depth to the religious text and it removes the simplistic objections from...
I don't place Granny outside the time period described by @"unenlightened" in his reference to the rise of Christian fundamentalism. It's dated to beg...
I take this analysis as possibly descriptive of Western social secular evolution, but I don't know how applicable it is to Near East, Far East, Africa...
The piece at the bottom is the best because it retains the numeric imprint of the lot number from the can. A literal slice of Americana that appears e...
How is this not subjectivism? Yes, IMO, in your opinion. You're just asserting your subjective morality, which you acknowledge here isn't universally ...
GPT says it's ambiguous even though there's only one result. "The expression 8/2(2+2) is ambiguous and can lead to different interpretations and resul...
I'm saying that morality cannot exist without God. Within God's definition is the moral. So it's not that morality exists because God exists; it's tha...
I like the smell of a kindle. Something about being able to touch the pixelated screen, getting funny colors when you smash your fingers against the l...
I appreciate the effort in grounding the ethical in the empirically measurable because that would seem a logical approach for someone who desires a sc...
Speaking of items of local interest. Joel Chandler Harris grew up about 1 1/2 hours from me in rural middle Georgia. You may know the story, but when ...
This doesn't follow. Why couldn't the plan be we are created perfect and will die perfect? This seems an attack on the doctrine of original sin and th...
And upon what basis don't you support it, and upon what criteria would I be wrong not to agree with you. Why is your basis applicable to me? By way of...
OK, and should they decide to enslave those of a different tribe, then that's moral? What about those you imprison? How does that promote their well b...
You didn't ask the details of my theism and I didn't ask the details of your epistemology. You asked which God I believed in and I asked which truth y...
This question is as coherent as mine to your question. Which truth do you believe in? Different Jews have different definitions. If you posit special ...
You can believe in an uncorruptable soul without a belief in God. Anyhow, as always, you're stuck with this view that all religions are stuck in a foc...
I think we can speak of what our personal reasons are for accepting religion, but we can't project it upon others, meaning that fear or humility may b...
Here are my thoughts: According to Catholic theology, the Trinity is the belief that there is one God who exists in three distinct persons: the Father...
