Did Pope Palpatine not get the memo about the fact that you know...Hitler was a Christian?

I was all disappoint because I was working and so couldn't go to the protest in Edinburgh. :(

Well..he was in the Hitler Youth when he was in his teens...

One of the people I work with took the day off to go see him, and the day before we were discussing religion etc and she was all 'it's basically because people don't want to believe in God now that's making this country fall apart'. I pointed out that the opposite was quite true too though - that people can take it the other way and just become fundementals about their religion.

I'm just annoyed that it's gonna cost us £10-12 million to have this troll visit us >_>

Technically Hitler Youth was a conscription group so kids didn't get a choice in the matter, but you'd think he'd at least have learnt his history.

Yeah, I read an article from an american newspaper that was outraged about the UK being so 'rude' to the pope.

Also, the idea that christianity is being marginalised is laughable. It's still the main religion in, oh, the world and people aren't ignoring it because they're being persecuting or oppressive, they're ignoring it because it's hateful and generally just wrong.

SIGH POPE

Yeah I know but you'd think seeing the effects of Nazism first hand would give the pope a bit more sense than to go compare atheists to a group who were incredibly open about the fact that they really hated anyone who wasn't blond and blue eyed.

Omg how dare you oppress the Christians' right to fight those evil gays and promote such ideas as safe sex! You heathen!
