Reply #18: Now THAT is flame bait

The founding fathers, at least a large percentage of them, were deists who actually believed the stuff they were spouting, and we're much the better for it.

Hitler, on the other hand, was nominally Christian and used it extensively in his speeches to the weak minded and desperate. He was besotted with the old Germanic collection of gods and goddesses, though, and frequently confused their omnipotence with his own anatomy.

That's the difference. Now go sit in a corner and think about it.
