Based upon historical and contextual notions regarding the concept of evil, and what makes an act "evil", we can learn many things. For instance, tyranny is considered "evil" in almost every tradition imaginable. Tyranny, being defined as a rulers legislative enslavement of the ruled, negates the free expression of a populace, and produces poverty and economic despair.

Hitler was considered a most heinous tyrant. He declared war on all those who did not fit his ideological profile of what a human being should be (nonjewish germans). Most modern people would consider him to be corrupt and evil. Yet, these same people believe in and worship a god who, according to their own textual accounts, commits acts and atrocities every bit as heinous as Hitler ever did. In fact, in comparison to the Christian god, Hitler was a saint!

THE TRANSMISSION OF DIVINE REVELATION

74 God "desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth":29 that is, of Christ Jesus.30 Christ must be proclaimed to all nations and individuals, so that this revelation may reach to the ends of the earth:

God graciously arranged that the things he had once revealed for the salvation of all peoples should remain in their entirety, throughout the ages, and be transmitted to all generations.31

CHAPTER TWO
GOD COMES TO MEET MAN

50 By natural reason man can know God with certainty, on the basis of his works. But there is another order of knowledge, which man cannot possibly arrive at by his own powers: the order of divine Revelation.1 Through an utterly free decision, God has revealed himself and given himself to man. This he does by revealing the mystery, his plan of loving goodness, formed from all eternity in Christ, for the benefit of all men. God has fully revealed this plan by sending us his beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

After watching the news the last couple of days and seeing just how stupid people really are, no longer respect those that say this is a christian country! I was very offended by that. That was like saying all americans agree with dufass in office. We are a changing nation, and I believe it's time for "god" to get off his fucking high horse and let someone else climb aboard.
I mean how long do these people think he will be coming back before they actually see that they have been brain washed into believing some screwed up fairy tail? It's a book. I have no desire to read it less much dedicate my life to it. Maybe I will start the Dr Seuss religion, no, I better not, then they will think I am brainwashing people and that we are all going to wait for some comet or ghost pirate ship to take us away!!! Hold on, isn't that what they are doing right now, except it's okay to give your money to them along with your life.

anyone out there wanna start a conversation? go ahead.. im listening...
