As for ghosts, i believe in them yes. Not sure i believe in psychic powers and mediums though, they prey on the vulnerable, which isn't fair.

It would be interesting to know how many wars have had nothing to do with religion, the ones that spring to mind all have a group with a dogmatic fanatical obsession with eradicating by fair means or foul members of a differing religion to them.

But all that’s beside the point. Not all wars are fought on religious grounds, and yet people always say how many lives have been lost to religion. Atheists are just as violent as believers because human beings, with very few exceptions, are flawed.
Why did he want to dominate the world though, why did he want everyone to have blonde hair blue eyes etc. ? He could very well of gotten his agenda from something he misinterpreted from the bible, but he also might not of. It would be hard to say without him being questioned directly. That part is speculation, but the holocaust was due to religion, no ways around that, and that part is fact. Speculation + fact creates a decent case about his crusade being driven by religion.

You're right about atheists, people are just scumbags in general. Though how much less death would there of been without religion? I don't dislike religious people btw, just throwing that out there.

The comment 'Atheists are as violent as believers' cannot be proven as there has never been a war where atheism was the driving force has there?
Historically before religion civilisations were very peaceable

Looking at the Hitler thing - whether he was or was not a christian is by the way but the vast majority of Germans at that time were Christians

It did not stop or inhibit them doing what they did

so what use is it?

I love your open mind about things Creggle, and the way you put counter viewpoints across without any unwarranted aggression or hostility to the person whose opinion you are countering.

However, Cregg, the bible had nothing to do with Hitler’s crackpot doctrines, and were not where he derived his ‘agenda’ from. Hitler was not a ‘true’ Christian, but falsely embraced Christianity for two reasons:

First; In the knowledge that Christianity was the biggest religion out there, Hitler thought that if he ‘nailed his colours’ to the Christian’s ‘mast’ with any degree of conviction, then he was guaranteed a ready-made audience of hundreds of millions who were at once, both, receptive to his twisted ideologies, and also sympathetic to his demonic cause.

Secondly; Hitler was under the gross misapprehension that all Christians detested the Jews as much as he personally did, because – in his distorted, over-simplistic view - he believed that all Christians blamed the Jews for killing The Christ. The Roman Catholic Church at the time, actually had hidden sympathy with this demon so the ploy was successful to some degree.

If anyone doubts that Hitler – or indeed any Nazi party member – was not Christian, I refer them to the following:

“Rosenberg claimed that Christianity was an alien Semitic slave-morality inappropriate to the warrior Aryan master race and thus supported a melange of aspects of Hindu Vedic and Zoroastrian teachings (both of these religions having been organised by Aryans), along with pre-Christian European Odinistic paganism, which he also considered to be distinctively Aryan in character”

Further:

Hitler actually formulated the core of his warped ideas from a late 19th century book – ‘An Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races’ - written by a French aristocrat called De Gobineau. De Gobineau developed the B.S. theory that the ‘Aryan’ race was the ‘Master’ race and was a founder of ‘Scientific Racism’.

However, as with every other ideology which that little turd Hitler borrowed from, he ‘selectively edited’ the ideas of De Gobineau to suit his own insane doctrines, because De Gobineau was not only not anti-Semitic, but he actually extensively praised the Jews in other works, describing them as a; “free, strong, and intelligent people".

Hitler conveniently ignored this admiration of the Jews when he filched and re-crafted most of the remainder of De Gobineau’s other contentions to suit his own demented purposes.

The Nazi ideal of ‘Blond hair and blue eyes’ – or ‘Aryan’ ideal - originated from De Gobineau’s works in part, but mainly from the works of Nazi theorists H. F. K. Günther and Alfred Rosenberg, whose ideas themselves were a result of these authors deliberately twisting and bastardising historical fact and lacing it with fantasy and myth to finally, and conveniently, arrive at their conclusions that the ‘Aryan’ race was ‘essentially’ Germanic.

The term ‘Aryan’ is a Sanskrit word which originates in India (hardly a blond haired blue eyed indigenous person to be found there) and also has Iranian connections. ‘Iran’ is actually the ancient Persian word for ‘Land of the Aryans’ (hardly a blond haired blue eyed indigenous person to be found here either).

So to get around the fact that the original ‘Aryans’ were dark-skinned non-Germanic people (both of which according to Nazi criterion were qualities which qualified a particular race to be placed at the bottom of the pile when it came to ‘worth’) these authors ‘dreamt up’ a convoluted B.S. hypothesis that these Indo Iranian people were actually – wait for it - originally from Atlantis, and these ‘Atlantians’ lived in prehistoric times on the ‘North German Plain’.

Apparently, they migrated from the North German Plain to Iran and India via the Ukraine – on chariots no less. (Wagnerian undertones - imagery of heroic blue-eyed Germanic warriors riding into battle, long blond tresses flowing et al?).

You could not make it up – yet look at the catastrophic consequences of the gullible cretins who were Nazi followers swallowing this propaganda crap.

Anyway, the Aryan Master race prototype was created from all this convoluted crap and this prototype was not just confined to blond hair and blue eyes, as this description of a ‘pure Aryan’ from a 1922 leaflet ‘The Nazi Race’, shows;

“The Aryan race is tall, long legged, slim. The race is narrow faced with a narrow forehead, a narrow high-built nose and a lower jaw and prominent chin, the skin is rosy bright and the blood shines through.... the hair is smooth straight or wavy - possibly curly in childhood. The colour is blond. “

It’s very noticeable how most of the raggle-taggle, moronic, misfits which comprised the Nazi hierarchy – notably Himmler and old Adolf himself - was the total antithesis of this ideal. But they got around this with yet more convoluted B.S. and contrived 'jiggery-pokery.

In my experience Christians are religious for about an hour on a sunday and for the rest of the time they are themselves and the same as anyone else.

Its like scouts, being in the local drama club or being a rotarian.

Its a wee club like other wee clubs and probably why as a christian nation germany did what they did

You are absolutely right with this Creggle, I despise all fake 'mediums' because their proliferation detracts from the fact that genuine examples of 'Extra Sensory Perception' and 'Clairvoyance' do exist.

I know from my own experiences that this is a reality, and I'm sure that there are a lot of people on here who have had similar experiences.

Sometimes, I have 'sensed' my mother or father - both of whom have passed. At times this 'perception' has been feint, fleeting, nothing more than an unaccountable feeling. and at other times, it has been so strong, that the smell of my mother's favourite perfume or my father's tobacco pervades the entire room if not every room in the house.

Think about this; part of a deceased parent's 'physical being' lives on in you as part of your genetic inheritance from them, and part of their cerebral existence lives on in you via the thought processes and ideas which you absorbed from them her while you were growing up under their loving guidance.

In light of the earlier post on 'residual' energy (thank you Josey) isn't it plausible then, that a spirit will return to that very place where he/she lived? Isn't it yet more plausible that he/she will revisit the very person who still retains so much of their living physical and cerebral essence?

I know my parents have re-visited me because of my own personal experiences, and I actually talk to my parents whenever I perceive their presence. These experiences always end in a 'feeling' of calmness and tranquility which overtakes me despite any previous mood I was in prior.
