Diest, Athiest, six of one or half dozen of the other. i'm just saying that true believers in christ, at least, with no reference to other religion's, try to love other people. hitler's and napoleon's actions cannot be reconciled with love and neither can the french revolution. since Europe had an oficial religeon with very little else in the way of religeon practiced at that time except the new one of science, napoleon and the french revolution where athiest. it's a person's actions that speak the loudest.

granted, there where other religeon's around when hitler was, but megalomaniacs are generally there own religeon. and on a happy coincidence, that goes for napoleon, to.

Did somebody say "the Spanish inquasition"?

If "non-belivers" aren't seen as people, you can be "loving to people" yet commit terrible acts against others.
There are numerous examples of christians commiting terrible acts, some in the name of religion.
Being cristhian doesn't mean you are a "saint".
You are just as human as the rest of humanity.

(Edit, shouldn't this discussion be moved to another thread, or maybe we can just dig up some old thread on the issue and re-use it )
