Hostility Towards Guild Specificity?

Oh. Then you would be correct that some secular dictators/leaders/etc. commit heinous acts

No he wasn't. This is a historical myth.

In responce to one of the earlier posts that hitler was not religious...that is not the point who did he hate and wanted to destroy? Jews and Gays...and last i checked judaism(sp?) is a religion.

A person's beliefs are a large part of their identity, of who they are. In an online environment, where people don't meet face-to-face, they're a larger part of your identity than your race. Why should anyone feel compelled to hide themselves away, to leave themselves out? Instead, other people should be chastised for attacking someone based on their beliefs, just as surely as they should for attacking someone based on their race.

A Guild Wars guild, perhaps?

He certainly wasn't and atheist.

The religion of Hitler is a touchy subject imho.

Hitler strongly belived that his race was the pure one that ascended from Atlantis, This is very similar to a relgion of a sort.

Actually, he was perfectly happy obliterating all non-Aryans. Also, Judaism is a nation as much as it is a religion.

"Decended"

Though I don't belive I ever heard the "Atlantis" part. While to my knowledge Hitler didn't adhear to a certain Church or Dogma he did have a 'religion' or sorts. And wasn't scared in the least to invoke biblical justifications for his actions.

For those who don't know the meaning of Aryan: In Nazism and neo-Nazism, a non-Jewish Caucasian, especially one of Nordic type, supposed to be part of a master race

Hahah.. yep, have been playing to much GW
Hitler had archeologists looking for it endlessly and everything, thats where he belived his blue eyed blond haired race came from. Well the point i was making is that this was a very strong belief that is very similar to a religion.

An historical fact, actually, well documented by his public statements and his overtly Christian statements in Mein Kampf. There's a nice compilation of them here.

Yeah, but it sure as heck wasn't Christianity!

But, my point still stands: it was Hitler the man who was responsible for the Holocaust, not Hitler's religion, whatever it was.

In guildwars u play your character not yourself. Last i checked i did not see any Jesus statues in the game neither is he listed in the list of deities in the manual, so when i am in game i dont see a reason to be hearing about him. I am not attacking christianity or any other belief, if they want to recruit christians just recruit normally and then in tells ask if they are a christian and if not dont let em join.

Hitler listened to quacks too much. His astrologer told him to invade Russia in the damn winter, and you know what? He took the moronic advice. And now the world is a better place because of his stupidity

Actually he invaded in the Summer. Just not early enough to take Moscow before winter arrived in full force. Though it is questionable if the fall of Moscow would have precipitated the SU's fall.

yes but the original point was that RELIGION was responsible for Holocaust, and not christianity.

Hitler formed a religion through his actions, i never claimed it to be christianity.

Amen.

I wouldn't let it bother me, if I was you. Or at least, try not to let it bother you more than it would otherwise.

If any of your guild ever wants to join up, feel free to message me ingame. Shauna Wolfsclaw or any of my iterations.

Btw, I know of another Christian guild, lead by Christine Ossaran, I think they're called the Harbingers of Hope. Fine people all of them, you could see if you can get in touch with them and about merging / joining up or something

Creston

Most Slavic peoples were part of the slaughter. And before we rewrite Nazism to suit the philosophical beliefs that were formed alongside the practical need, please remember that Jews were targetted first and mainly because there were many large commercial and property interests held by prominent Jewish men that would serve Hitler's interests better in the hands of his cronies. It was pragmatically brilliant. But whole family trees of non-Jewish Romanians were completely wiped out as were families of gypsies and other Baltic groups.

Sorry, should have rephrased it. He was fighting in Russia during the winter...

History...meh
