The greatest columnist you've probably never heard of if you're a CCer

<p>We don’t have to pray, though many choose to…as well, many practice meditation, often involving a mantra, and other forms of silent thought. At the very least it works wonders on the nerves…may even lead to some happy and transcendent ending too. Certainly when the faithful are praying they are not out robbing a bank, or launching a cultural revolution, or executing those with college degrees, or bustin’ a cap into those wearing reading glasses.</p>

<p>Hitler? I’m sorry, what religion was Hitler a congregant to? I’m unfamiliar with him belonging to any traditional faith. Do you mean that he liked the trappings of the occult? How clever of you to think of that as being religious; there are those who would say that only through submission and self sacrifice can anyone be a person of faith (those that are referred to as being “poor in spirit” in Christianity, or those seeking ‘nirvana’ in Buddhism, or those seeking ‘fana’ in Islam) it’s pretty much all the same in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. The Nazi leader did not seem to be humbly submissive to anything we could reasonably call transcendent. </p>

<p>Then, that leaves the greatest butchers of all, Stalin and Mao. Any chance they were secret converts to the faith too? Or at least some way we could shoe-horn them into a church, temple, mosque or synagogue? That would be very clever indeed.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Speak of the Devil:</p>

<p>“It is through the peasantry that we shall really be able to destroy Christianity,” he said in 1933, “because there is in them a true religion rooted in nature and blood.” His countrymen would have to choose”</p>

<p>“Pure Christianity — the Christianity of the catacombs — is concerned with translating the Christian doctrine into fact. It leads simply to the annihilation of mankind. It is merely wholehearted Bolshevism, under a tinsel of metaphysics.”</p>

<p>“Do you really believe the masses will ever be Christian again? Nonsense. Never again. The tale is finished… but we can hasten matters. The parsons will be made to dig their own graves.”</p>

<p>“a group of students at Rutgers University School of Law at Camden, who have posted papers on a website detailing Hitler’s desire to eradicate Christianity. The documents are from the archives of Gen. William J. Donovan and were originally prepared for the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, so we can safely assume they are authentic.”</p>
