Why didn't we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?" <br /><br />(Adolf Hitler, quoted by Albert Speer, p. 96, Inside the Third Reich.)<br /><br />Here's a good un from Martin Bormann, one of Hitlers lackeys...<br /><br /> "National Socialist and Christian concepts are incompatible. The Christian Churches build upon the ignorance of men and strive to keep large portions of the people in ignorance because only in this way can the Christian Churches maintain their power. On the other hand, National Socialism is based on scientific foundations. Christianity's immutable principles, which were laid down almost two thousand years ago, have increasingly stiffened into life-alien dogmas. National Socialism, however, if it wants to fulfill its task further, must always guide itself according to the newest data of scientific researches. "<br /><br />Wow...science over dogma..kinda sounds familiar..in a creepy way.<br /><br />As for jumping to conclusions, the only truth here is that the media will get it wrong depending on whatever the narrative of the day is. They got McVeigh, a lone white guy, wrong. They got the Beltway Sniper, who was pegged as a lone white guy by an endless parade of "experts", wrong too because the narrative had changed.<br /><br />In the end, it's fanatacism itself...that smug feeling that my way is the best way and everyone else is stupid, evil or just plain ikky, that's behind it all. And fanatacism is not restricted to religion. <br /><br />Ideological fanaticism turned the 20th century into the bloodiest in human history and most of those boys were leftists, as defined by a devotion to statist or socialist ideals. Even the nazi's. The only difference was their affection for nationalism and weird racial theories.pigeaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791473895323427195noreply@blogger.com
