Reply #118: So I Take It That There Is Some Crucible In Which You Boil It Down

I say I'm a Christian

You say, hmmmph, we'll see

You watch my actions to see if they conform with your ideas of what a Christian is or isn't.

If I don't measure up, then I must not be a Christian.

I'm sorry Kwassa, if this is the process you go through, then I don't see how it is anything but a judgmental process (not just using judgment) because all of us will fall short of being perfect.

Now, I think the Hitler thing has been beat to death.

There is no doubt that Christians (at least this one) don't want to claim him as their own.

Atheists (I assume, and I realize I can't speak for atheists) would probably not want to claim him.

Theists of all kinds would doubtfully want to claim him.

Now there are some "Christians" (they profess Christ to be their savior and believe they are following the bible) who do think at least the principles of Hitler, white, Aryan supremacy, is right. I don't know if they claim Hitler as one of them or not. If you don't believe me, check out Elohim City, on the border of Arkansas and Oklahoma. Tim McVeigh even stopped off there briefly on his way to blow people up. (or shortly before that trip)

I don't like the kind of Christian Hitler was, (if he claimed to be a Christian and I don't honestly know if he did or not) and denounce him as a terrible human being, and a piss poor example of what a Christian is.

But Hitler may have called himself a Christian, and may or may not have believed he was a Christian.
