Actually, more people would have likely died if we hadn't dropped the bombs, given that Japan was so resistant to surrender that common citizens were being told to arm themselves however they could and fight back rather than surrender. It was estimated that a naval and carpet bombing tactic would extend the war 2-3 years, and more than double the casualties on both sides.

Why are you afraid to address the issue that we still have the exact same problem today? Would you have done something to help the Jewish people if you were alive. Or would you stand by and do nothing and allow Nazi Germany to carry through with the final solution?Off topic.
Open another thread.

The subject of this thread is not evolution. It is the final solution. We were just trying to determine if there was a link between the final solution and Darwin's theory. Some say yes, some say no.Whether or not we would has nothing to do with evolution.
Reminds me of Corrie Tan Boon. When her sister died in the Concentration camp the nurse called Corrie to give her final respects. Her sister looked beautiful, better then she had look in a long time. She was at peace and she had escaped the pain and the misery that filled their lives in the death camp. I have seen pictures of people who die like that. The believers look like beautiful porcelain dolls. They die in peace. Yet others have a look of terror on their face trying to avoid death.I would help others as much as I could to the extent that would not endanger myself or my family. So, I wouldn't be hiding people in my house, but I might direct them to someone who would, and tell them what places to avoid.

Less of a link than between the Inquisition and Christianity. People hurt each other, what excuses they use are more a matter of what they can use than what was intended to be used that way.The subject of this thread is not evolution. It is the final solution.

A refugee is a refugee. You say you would not support Hitler in his final solution, then what are you doing today about the refugee problem? What actions are you talking to alleviate the pain, misery and suffering of others? The world does not like the "final solution" but is the world all that different today then it was back during WW2? Are we doing anything different then the German people who did nothing to stop the Third Reich?It's not the same situation. It's nowhere near comparable. Stop posting non-sequiturs.

I think it is better to quickly give the opinion, and try to get the subject back on track in the same post.
Catholics call themselves Christians and that is fine. Still most Christians are reformed or protestant so that they are not in agreement with the Catholic church. That would make Christians the victims not the perpetrators. The Catholics do defend themselves, there is plenty of information on line about this.Less of a link than between the Inquisition and Christianity.
I dislike that you think you can count yourself as anything but a weed if you think you get to say what qualifies as a weed or a tare while you are at an allegorical plant's perspective. It isn't your place to say that anyone directly involved in or approving of the Inquisition was less of a Christian than you are.Catholics call themselves Christians and that is fine.

This is like a maid that gets raped and the wife comes along and beats her because she is to blame for allowing the male to having his way with her. There are Christian martyrs that rejoiced that they were counted as worthy to suffer shame for the name of Jesus. But I clearly represent the martyrs, so I do not appreciate the Inquisition being refereed to as Christian.
We are told the let the weeds and the tares grow together. So it is difficult to know who really is a Christian. We have the Holy Spirit to guide and lead us in the way of the truth. "For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." If it were possible even the elect would be deceived. It is not possible because we have the Holy Spirit of truth to keep us from being deceived.
So your position then is to do nothing to stop Hitler with his final solution. There is no laissez-faire attitude you are either for God and the people of God or you are against God and the people of God. If you are willing to do NOTHING to stop it then that is the same a supporting it.Red-herring. In your OP, you tried to link Hitler's view of the Final Solution to Darwin's theory of evolution via natural selection. You have CONTINUALLY tried to link evolution to racism, and the fact that you have tried to segue in the current refugee crisis (which is off-topic) in to the thread shows that you just panicking. I'm not going to give my opinion on the crisis since it would be off topic.
I am a descendant of one of Bloody Mary's "victoms", so I know where I stand. I am also a descendant of Pilgrims that came to this country to escape religious persecution. Now you want me to defend the people that were persecuting us?I dislike that you think you can count yourself as anything but a weed if you think you get to say what qualifies as a weed or a tare while you are at an allegorical plant's perspective. It isn't your place to say that anyone directly involved in or approving of the Inquisition was less of a Christian than you are.
No, his position is that he refuses to answer a question that derails the thread, in his opinion.So your position then is to do nothing to stop Hitler with his final solution. There is no laissez-faire attitude you are either for God and the people of God or you are against God and the people of God. If you are willing to do NOTHING to stop it then that is the same a supporting it.
What would that have to do with anything, evolution or religion-wise?I am a descendant of one of Bloody Mary's "victoms", so I know where I stand.
