HITLER-a believer in god?

[c4ts]

The term "Jew" has various different meanings.

(a) It can mean Jewish in the religious sense -- a believer in Judaism.

(b) It can mean Jewish in the "racial" sense -- a person born of a Jewish mother.

(c) It can mean Jewish in the cultural sense -- a person raised in the Jewish community.

A person can be born of Jewish parents and be an active member of the Jewish community, but not believe in god. It is thus possible to refer to "agnostic Jews" or "atheistic Jews" without being insane.

That's not the way Hitler does it. Just read the damn thing.

Hitler was raised a Catholic, and apparently did believe in god when he was a child.

Later in life he appears to have grown hostile to Catholicism, although he continued to pay lip service to it.

Sounds like a typical Catholic to me...

Heard on PBS last night: the rate of birth control pill use in the US is no different between Catholics and non-Catholics.

Good point, Nova Land.

c4ts needs to rethink his definition.
