Hitler seems to have been haunting the EvC threads a lot recently.
He's often off topic. It seems to be part of the old bastard's character.
That's why I think that he and the Nazis should have a thread of their own. On topic here is anything about Hitler's beliefs and those of other Nazis. Also, any thoughts as to the reasons for the rise of Nazi-ism.
Discussion of the roles of economics, religion, biological theories, and philosophy in the rise of Nazi-ism are definitely on topic.
I'll start things by pointing out that without religion, there would have been no "Gentiles" and no "Jews" in Europe, just people. Religion was and is essential in perpetuating the separate identities.
Two human population groups living in the same place will inevitably mix over time unless they practice cultural separatism. The two religions involved in the history leading up to the holocaust provided that separatism, and they, along with the phenomenon of religion in general, must take a large part of the blame for the slaughter of millions.
Anyone agree or disagree?
(Admins, I think we need a topic like this at the moment because Adolph's ghost is diverting threads like Modulous's "anti-theistic strawmen" one off topic, and it's happened to other threads recently. Coffee shop, I suppose, if it passes.)
