Don't blame me hitler killed homos : that's the legacy of a collectivist stateQuote from Free Thinker:
getting back to the op and christians hating gays. do you think hitler was closer to the left or the right wing christians of today in his thinking about gays?
In the 1920s, homosexual people in Germany, particularly in Berlin, enjoyed a higher level of freedom and acceptance than anywhere else in the world.[citation needed] However, upon the rise of Adolf Hitler, gay men and, to a lesser extent, lesbians, were two of the numerous groups targeted by the Nazi Party and were ultimately among Holocaust victims. Beginning in 1933, gay organizations were banned, scholarly books about homosexuality, and sexuality in general, were burned, and homosexuals within the Nazi Party itself were murdered. The Gestapo compiled lists of homosexuals, who were compelled to sexually conform to the "German norm."

What's your point , gays have been shunned the world over it's not an exclusively Christian position .
I'll repeat myself "Collectivist states by far seem to be the most abusive and like it or not stupid liberals blithely follow that path."
You are one confused person, Hitler saw Christianity as a tool it was not his philosophy or religion.Quote from Free Thinker:
I am personally convinced of the great power and deep significance of Christianity, and I won't allow any other religion to be promoted. (Adolf Hitler)
uh perhaps you've been living under a rock for the last 100 yrs ISLAM the relgion of peace executes homos why not a diatribe against them?Quote from Free Thinker:
well hitler was a christian and he hated gays. christians today have the same additudes. pretty obvious connection.
You find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress in humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the diminution of war, every step toward better treatment of the colored races, or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world. I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.â
â Bertrand Russell, Why I am Not a Christian, 1927

oh that's right it's all about YOUR anti-christian idiotology.
In the case of Hitler and the Jews, what do you think God should have done?Quote from Free Thinker:
so it fair and just that your god,who we both agree would have the ability to stop evil,refuses to help the innocent victims?
It's funny how they see nazism +christianity but fail to see nazism and Islam especially as it functions today.Quote from CoolTraderDude:
True they're too afraid to piss off the colored minorities... Who really hate them BTW...! They think it's them and the minorities vs. "evil white man"...!
AND that Christianity is the greatest evil... I'm all for religious tolerance and against people bashing Christianity...
For the record, I'm an ex-believer turned atheist!
Correct, and he was not alone:Quote from stu:
Hitler was religious and a christian. It's noticeable how christians will often claim other christians, who have declared their christian religion, are not christians.
Plus of course Hitler was first and foremost a fascist. At the core of fascism is nationalism, traditionally associated with the hard right.
