^ why you trying to say hitler wasn't insane? He had people make lamps and stuff out of human parts at one point, that isn't something a sane person makes people do.

I dunno. Perhaps there's a fine line between aesthetics and insanity? :p

(personally, I like the "macabre" aesthetic. But, I'm a weirdo, so..)

Incidentally, why would god allow people to become demon possessed, and then commit the atrocities that Hitler committed?
The same reason He lets doctors in America commit worse atrocities.

(Worse in numbers, anyway.)

Don't even, I studied the atrocities of the concentration camps for my bioethics class, trust me, hitler was doing stuff related to abortion. He also attempted to make people infertile effectively and quickly, maimed reproductive parts, removed fetuses from people against their will for study, removed children's eyes...

Compared to that, voluntary abortions are nothing.

Active demon possession and active insanity are so close to one another, scientists couldn't tell them apart.

It would take Something more than lab tools to differentiate.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Either way, hitler wasn't in a normal state of mind.

This is correct.

We view Hitler as another Antiochus Epiphanes.

Sort of a trial run for the Antichrist.

As we're fond of saying:

THE WHEELS OF GOD GRIND SLOW, BUT THEY GRIND FINE

Dude, come on and give me a straight answer.

Why does god allow people to become demon possessed, and as a result, sometimes commit horrible atrocities?

My impression was that the antichrist was the literal son of satan, not possessed.
Hmmm ... I forgot about that one.

You may just have a point. :thumbsup:

John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Dude, how would I know?

God does all things in His time.

Read the book of Habakkuk, for crying out loud.

It's called sin. We are in the condition of a sin cursed earth because
of man's continued sin. It will continue for a set amount of time and
satan allowed to tempt people and such until God sets it right.

Right now we are in a time of the sifting of the wheat from the tares.
Which one will you be?

I will be barley. There are many more interesting things made from barley than wheat.
