  1. Because every dictator wants to rule in the name of god, every democracy in the name of ideals that will make a perfect life.

    Scholars like Mehmood Mamdani has depicted in detail how fundamentalism as we now know it is a direct result of imperialism.

    Yeah, god is often created by man


  2. Hitler never claimed that God was on his side but there were thousands of poor soldiers who wished he was. If God was on any side he was on the side that opposed the Holocaust. As someone who lived through the war years I can tell you that both sides prayed very hard when faced with the horror of desperate combat. I can only pray now that God was some comfort to those who never came home, whatever side they were on. Remember too, that both sides used conscription and that meant young lads who were torn from their families.

  3. War is an ignoble trait of man.  It has nothing to do with God.  Actually God is put on hold when men choose to war.  God is love to all.

  4. sorry , i hope to answer you questions but during the 2ND war i wasn't there .

    looooooooool

  5. He wasn't. The Germans had someone on their side but it wasn't G-d.

  6. Who said god was on any side???

  7. No,no ,no Almighty God doesn"t take sides in wars.

  8. Buddha kicked back and said 'just giv'er'

  9. He's an equal opportunities god

  10. Pope Pius used to go out and bless the tanks that were being sent into battle against the British and if you believe in Papal infallibility and the Pope being Gods representative on Earth,then yes,God was playing both sides,assuming,of course,that you believe in some divine being controlling everything.

  11. Or neither!

  12. Funny, isn't it?

  13. Hi Troll, I seem to remember the Germans lost again.

  14. He was hedging his bet.

  15. What makes you think he was?  The Germans were into a kind of Nordic Mythological Aryan mishmash they invented themselves.  The Allies relied on the God of the Bible.  

    Hirohito was god in Japan.  And I don't think fascism Mussolini style is much into giving any higher being the glory.

  16. Jehovah loves him some carnage...Yes he does...
