BAR, no need to bother with vtel57. Nazisim was a political/racial movement and was not based on religion. Jews who were Christian converts and in some cases priests were killed along with out right Christians by the Nazis. People who claim the Nazis were fighting for a religion are poor historians.
>People who claim the Nazis were fighting for a religion are poor historians.
I don't believe I ever made any claim that the Nazis were fighting a religious war... nor have I claimed to be an historian.
What is it about the main point of my posting that is so difficult for you folks to focus on? It's not about religion. It's not about war. It's about mankind facing the fact that while we are all different in many ways, we are also much the same. My argument is that organized religions have seperated us further and magnified our differences to the point where we KILL one another because of HATE that is generated by our perceptions of those differences. Is that so hard to understand and see?
I know that I'm dealing with moderate to highly intelligent and interested people here in this forum. I doubt that any of you are isolationists, nationalists, bigots, or racists. Is the anti-religious aspect of my postings what is putting some of you on the defensive? If so, maybe you need to ask yourselves why that is and what is it saying about you and your feelings about ALL your fellow beings on this planet. Do you believe that some are inferior to you due to their beliefs? I would think better of you than that. I wish to believe that this is NOT the case with any of you.
