no snyde.. even Jesus said to Peter when in the last supper " I'll tell you the truth Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." and Peter was so dear to his heart..
It's pretty normal routine for Dictators to use Religion to control the mass but you have the bible as your reference not what some human priest says.. u have to consider the difference between education and knowledge for people in medieval times and now .
There are actually parralels between Eugenics and Religious fundamentalism when you look into it. Both are warped ideas created by certain men that spit on the actual documentation. Darwin would of turned in his grave if he'd seen one of his own family using a theory that was never meant to be harmful in anyway as an excuse for racism.
Hitler imparticular was great at twisting things. So much so that even today people disagree about them. Some say Hitler was an Atheist, others that he was a Christian. But he said what he needed to say to different people. He knew the demographics of each city. He knew sitting in a room of Scientists even then talking about God would provoke groans and opposition in the room. He knew talking about Science in a room full of Religious people would get the same response.
So what he did was he talked about how marvelous it would be for Science to create a superior Aryan master race but to do so he would need to make all the inferior peoples in his own mind extinct (Jews, Slavs). Then he went to the Religious and said how the Aryans are Gods true people and he loves them and it is time they ruled the world. Most of the Scientists didn't agree with it, and most of the Religious lot didn't agree. Those that could fled, and those that didn't stuck it out. Some agreed and went along with it.
Same with Stalin, people go on about him purging Christians, but he was purging everyone. He might of been an Atheist, but you could be an Atheist yourself but because you supported the wrong football team and end up being sent to Siberia. Religion was the propaganda and the excuse, in reality it didn't matter what you were. Hell, there is even some circumstantial evidence that Stalin secretly was still a practicing Christian. Truth is he was just a paranoid motherfucker and it didn't take much for him and his secret police to come round your house at night and send you off to Siberia by train.
Hitler and Stalin, too people who sure as hell knew how to stir people up. No one will ever know the truth about what they believed to be honest. They just knew and used well the old adage of divide and conquer. Whilst the non believers pointed to the believers and the believers pointed at the non believers the true enemy just waltzed on into power without opposition.
