Hitler, Mussolini, and what the Queen of England did to India would contradict that. Also consider Bush's self proclaimed
''crusade''.
Although, as I understand it, that the declared and undeclared wars on Muslim nations (in particular) are done so in the name of the new god, the almighty dollar, those waging those wars are doing so under the mantra of Christian theology. US politicians are always spouting off about god and Christ to rally the patriotism of the sheeple when charging off to foreign lands to murder innocent women and children in the name of corporate profit. They may be crapping out their mouths but they try to cover up the stench with Christian rhetoric.

Bush mentioned crusade, but in his case it was just a wrong choice of words. Hitler and Mussolini could have cared less about any religion. Now the Queen was another matter during the 1800's.

Here you go , genius:

The fascination with the occult not only by Adolf Hitler but the Nazi elite is very well documented. You can go on Youtube yourself and watch any part of several documentaries that show this. I'm not going to post a whole documentary, so here's a sample:

YouTube - ‪Occult Symbols of Nazi Germany‬‏

Also, Christians suffered persecution under Nazi Germany. The Nazis tried to change the bible to conform to their sick beliefs and dissenting Christians had to go underground. The Christians in Poland we particularly suppressed and even 2,600 Catholic priests were killed in 24 different countries! (source)

So if you're going to try to associate one group of people with Nazism, make sure it's accurate:

Seems like most world leaders profess one religion or another but behind closed doors or out of the public eye practice some form of occult. But like most things in life, there are varying degrees of belief and practice. There is black and white occult practices but as far as I can discern, most world leaders who practice the occult use the black arts. Also from most oof my conversations with Christians, they haven't got a clue what the occult is, just some nebulous boogyman that their preachers told them were their enemies, like atheists. Sad how religions seems to breed ignorance among many of their followers, particularly the fundamentalist types.

Oh of course, those silly Christians and there misconceptions about everything again! :roll:

Please, do elaborate on what the occult is, isn't, and how we've misinterpreted it.
Well, of all the people I have talked to from various religious and spiritual schools of thought, it was only Christians that brought up the subject of the occult, thus my reference to their ignorance. None could tell me what it was but were adamant that it was really, really bad. They have no idea that all religions are based in ancient occult practices, including their own. The occult has been around since the caves and there are as many variations on the theme as there have been cultures and civilizations. The Jewish religion is steeped in the occult and thus the 2500 variants of Christianity that are off shouts of the Jewish religion have their origins in the occult.

If you have ever attended High Mass at a Catholic church you will witness an ancient magic ritual. Unfortunately it has gone through many changes and is now conducted in rote so it has lost all its magic. The intent is no longer there. Any and all ceremony and ritual is intended to invoke spiritual energy to accomplish a purpose, a healing of a physical, spiritual or emotional nature. There are thousands of ways to practice ceremony and ritual and it has nothing to do with any particular religious belief. Those beliefs may influence how the ceremony is conducted but the energy invoked is always the same, simple because there is only one positive energy to invoke.

You just lost your argument right there. Things like Zeitgeist are easily refuted. If your so sure that Christianity is based on ancient occultism, why not make a cool thousand dollars on it? (Debunking Zeitgeist vids)

Any and all ceremony and ritual is intended to invoke spiritual energy to accomplish a purpose...
No Christian ritual, like communion for example, has ever had that purpose. Communion is about REMEMBRANCE accomplished through SYMBOLISM.

Absolutely low level.

If there were sense you'd organize it so the right-wing Islamics and the right-wing Christians meet on an island sprinkled with cameras in order to broadcast a real-life contest payed for by advertizing.

Tell both that the winner gets a tonne of money and freedom to live life with whatever woman they want with lots of as many kids as they want.

Do you think it's culturally tipping the odds one way or the other to make the rewards that?

Doesn't contradict anything, never said the Vatican was innocent, it was all numbers to Hitler and Mussolini. With Hitler, you joined the cause or bad thing happened to you, Mussolini not as bad.
