    Flawed from the word Go. Hitler had nothing to do with Christianity except to co-opt it. He had no use for any submission to any authority except the state.

    Furthermore, had MLK not been shot dead at 39, today he’d be as much of a joke as Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. His speeches had a great ring to them, and he did put himself on the line – both admirable. But, he was fundamentally a Marxist, which is where his usefulness ends.

    so someones goodness or morals depend on facial hair.. wow

    funny, a lot of my fellow americans would argue with you about malcom x and dr. king
    no one is evil, people are doing what their circumstances and understanding dictates.
    we have to change the circumstances and the understanding of people to change their actions.
    dont forget one psychopath can only do so much damage, the question is why do all the other people believe / follow him???

  5. Eloi Carvalho says:

    Who the fuck defines what is good and evil? This post creeps me, it illustrates the pure american brainwash. Trying to defend an important issue of our society with a bad example, is like talking to nobody, because it contradicts the main argument itself….

  6. Reasonable says:

    There is no such thing as good or evil. They are ideas and relative to the circumstances prevented. Malcolm X could be considered good to some people, while Stalin could be a hero to others. It is all about who is observing and their response to their observations.

  7. Reasonable says:

    *presented

  8. kmac says:

    Malcolm X wasn’t a good Muslim, and he actually came to realize that when he visited Mecca shortly before he was killed.

    I’m calling ignorance or propaganda on this I’m afraid because Bill Gates is a complete Eugenicist from top to bottom. He’s closely linked to Monsanto (http://disinfo.com/2011/01/a-link-between-monsanto-blackwater-bill-gates/) who show a complete disregard for humanity and the environment with the mutant fish-crops they have spewed everywhere. His father William H. Gates Sr used to be the head of Planned Parenthood which is an organisation designed to help people NOT have children and has had many outspoken Eugenicists in and out of management. It’s also a racist organisation with over 3 out of every 4 clinics being in predominately black communities (http://blackgenocide.org/planned.html).
    “…human weeds, reckless breeders, spawning… human beings who never should have been born” Margaret Sanger (founder of Planned Parenthood)
    The vaccines he loves to give Africa so much have shown again and again to contain dangerous chemicals which cause many problems to human health such as hyper activity disorder and even autism.
    Bill Gates is and has been linked to many other Eugenicists and Eugenic organisations and to say he’s a good person means your information comes from sources that are within the same circles as Monsanto and Planned Parenthood or from the media conglomerates who rub shoulders with these very same Eugenicists at Bilderberg or the CFR and other criminals who seem to be above the law.
    I’ll stop there because it’s so easy to find out all this information if anyone just looks for it and connects the dots.

    So, all the good guys are American… Dumb good-vs-bad, black-vs-white point of view. Grow up.

  11. atomicmonkey says:

    i love how people try to say “there are evil atheists too so religion isn’t evil” that’s like saying “there are problems with capitalism too so communism doesn’t have problems”. or you might as well say “there are good atheists too so religion isn’t good”.

    the problem with religion that makes it so bad, that the nonreligious don’t suffer from, is that they ALL, evil or not, believe their beliefs and ideas are either directly from, or supported by, an all powerful, infallible being, who cannot be directly referenced. in other words, ANYTHING a religious person believes to be true, for religious reasons, will believe it to be objectively true no matter what it is, no matter what happens, and even at times, no matter how THEY THEMSELVES feel about it.

    an atheist can admit they are wrong. a theist cannot admit their god is wrong.

  12. Zechariah says:

    Yeah… I noticed most people already got that, but Hitler wasn’t a Christian. He was attempting to be at the top of the scale of “survival of the fittest”. And he assumed the fittest meant, the most violent.

  13. Dan says:

    I thought this was meant to show us not to argue over religion? Just let it be, believe what you believe. And

  14. Realist says:

    Bill Gates, the father of modern Eugenics is your example of good?

  15. SATAN'S ALIENS says:

    What about Jews?

  16. James Brooks says:

    There are those with imaginary friends telling them what to do, and those without who have to rely on reality. Can you really trust someone who has given up logic to faith in any other matter?

  17. GooDay says:

    Malcolm X was the best “good” Muslim you could come up with?
    Congrats, you defeated your own claim in one statement!
    Well done sir.

  18. Trevor says:

    This site is a joke on so many different levels. The only thing that I can imagine is some 15 year old kid came up with this whole thing. Pin Head…
