"You can misrepresent any book's intended meaning by quoting snippets out of context. It's almost comical that you think this is damning."

The context doesn't make any of it any better.

"Hatred does that to you."

I do hate Christianity, it's easy with so many horrible teachings in it. I don't distort it though, nor do i hate Christians (except the bad ones).

"Exodus, you try too hard."

No, i don't.

"You confuse quantity with quality."

My comments are of quality.

"The nobeliefs folks are hardly a source I'd rely upon."

Do you just reject 'NoBeliefs' because it's an atheist website?

"And your knowledge of scripture looks to be of the webpage variety, not personal knowledge."

As a former Christian, I have plenty of personal knowledge of scripture.

"The life of a Christian involves more than mere belief. A life that has been miraculously transformed by Jesus Christ is called a "new creation" and shows evidence of a changed heart, a noticeable change in direction. A fruitful life is what the Bible calls it."

Did you read the Christian practices of the Nazis that I mentioned?

"Anyone can call himself a Christian. The authentic Christian can't help but show it."

Again, did you read the Christian practices of the Nazis that i mentioned? And did you read Romans 4:5? Here it is again:

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Romans 4:5

"He wants us to be a lighthouse of His love."

His love, huh?

“Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.
Exodus 21:20-21

“‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Leviticus 20:13

Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
Numbers 31:17-18

Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
Psalm 137:9

Therefore I will make the heavens tremble; and the earth will shake from its place
at the wrath of the Lord Almighty, in the day of his burning anger.
Like a hunted gazelle, like sheep without a shepherd, they will all return to their own people, they will flee to their native land. Whoever is captured will be thrust through; all who are caught will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be looted and their wives violated. See, I will stir up against them the Medes, who do not care for silver and have no delight in gold. Their bows will strike down the young men; they will have no mercy on infants, nor will they look with compassion on children.
Isaiah 13:13-18

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Ephesians 5:22-24

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
Ephesians 6:5

Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:15

"Nobody except, it seems, atheists thinks that Hitler was a Christian. It's pure nonsense. He did nothing in his adult life that was remotely Christlike. His life was a testament to evil."

This is the "No True Scotsman" logical fallacy. To say he wasn't a Christian because of way he acted is to say that being a Christian depends on not doing evil. This is called works salvation, and it directly contradicts Scripture:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
John 5:24

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Romans 3:28

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Romans 4:5

These are just a few of the many verses teaching being saved is based on belief and not works (though the bible contradicts itself by teaching salvation is based on works in other parts of the bible).

Here are some things regarding Hitler's Christianity:

Under Hitler, the Swastika (which was used by early Christians as a symbol of Christianity) became the official symbol of Nazi Germany, Christianity was taught in schools, EVERYONE in the German military (as well as civil servants) had to take a pledge in which they affirmed belief in God, atheist groups were forcibly shut down, denominations viewed as heretics were persecuted, and the Nazis wore the message "Gott Mit Uns" (God With Us) on their gear. And here are A FEW quotes from Hitler:

My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before in the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice.... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people.... When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom to-day this poor people is plundered and exploited.
Adolf Hitler, 1922.

Therefore, I am convinced that I am acting as the agent of our Creator. By fighting off the Jews, I am doing the Lord's Work.
Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf.

I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty
Creator. By warding off the Jews I am fighting for the Lord’s work.
Adolf Hitler, 1936.

Remain strong in your faith, as you were in former years. In this faith, in its close-knit unity our people to-day goes straight forward on its way and no power on earth will avail to stop it.
Adolf Hitler, 1937

I, for my part, acknowledge another precept which says that man must deal the final blow to those whose downfall is destined by God.
Adolf Hitler, 1942

Those are just a few of the many things showing Hitler was a Christian, if you want more just Google "nobeliefs Hitler".

So the millions of innocent people who were tortured and murdered during the Holocaust are now burning in hell and will be there suffering in agony forever, but Adolf Hitler (who was a Christian, Google "nobeliefs Hitler" ) gets to enjoy eternal happiness in heaven? Anyone who believes that is sick in the head.
