Why don't Atheists run amok?

The victory of the western allies exposed the abhorrence of, and put an end to, the social Darwinist branch of materialist fanaticism - practiced by the powers that were in Germany from 1933-1945 - that led to Auschwitz and the like.
Of course, the other materialist fanatics in the east were still there, and continued running their own amok for some decades.

In contrast, if there was any 'fanaticism' on the part of the western allies it was probably just your common or garden capitalism + oligarchy, which made little or no comment on the human condition / spirituality etc.
More a case (as now) of fat old guys wanting to be as rich as they can so they can **** as many beautiful young women as possible before they die.

News flash:

GERMANY WAS MOSTLY CHRISTIAN

Maybe you should be looking into the christian magic book for answers to their atrocities or maybe, just maybe, it wasn't that simple.

Did you ever attend school?

My car is mostly blue, but at the present moment its blueness is not in a position of power to direct it through the traffic.

Didn't Hilter think he was doing God's work? I seem to remember that from somewhere.

Yes. That's where I learned the way of the period. How about you?

Your blue car won't wiggle you out of this false assertion:

The first half of the 20th Century was a great experiment in living true to atheist, materialistic morality, and much amok was run. Finally the fanatics were beaten back on Omaha beach and elsewhere.

Ah, so the Christianity of Hitler had nothing to do with Germany's history during the twentieth century, but the atheism of Stalinist regimes had everything to do with their history?
 
So, atheists don't run amok because..something something Hitler, something something blue cars, something Russians, World War II, We Didn't Start the Fire, totally ripping off REO Speedwagon.

Yeah. Sure. Makes perfect sense.

The point being that, for example, it would be pretty stupid to try to exonerate a fraudulent company board by arguing that most of the ordinary employees of that company were not doing anything fraudulent.

Surprising that something so obvious has to be explained really.

Gott mitt uns (God with us) - inscription on belt buckles worn by the Wehrmacht: Gott mit uns (meaning God with us) is a phrase commonly associated with the German military from the German Empire to the end of the Third Reich...


And Stalin studied to be a priest until he decided there was more mileage in being a sociopathic tyrant.
 
Interesting how so many of you 'skeptics' are only too happy to take genocidal dictators at their word... when it suits your own belief system.

By their fruits you shall know them.
(Clue for the truly retarded: rather than believe everything a genocidal dictator says, simply look at their actions to discern their real worldview, motivations and inspiration)

One of the things it's interesting to ask theists is: "If you discovered for certain that there was no god or gods, would you run amok?"

Of course, it's hard to get an answer, since few are capable of envisioning such a possibility, but most of the honest ones will admit that they would not. It would be a very poor set of morals you have if you have no empathy and the only thing keeping you from running amok is fear of punishment.

LOL. Seeing where this was going, I knew it wouldn't be long until the "No True Scotsman" fallacy made a guest appearance!

Plumjam, is that you?

Even if what you say were true (it isn't), the fact remains that it took many thousands of people buying into Hitler's Christian rhetoric for his policies to be implemented. Or were they all just pretending to be Christians?
