Dissenting Opinions from Religious Folk

  • "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so"
    --Adolph Hitler

  • "I hope...to see the day when...in...our country we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!"
    --Rev. Jerry Falwell

  • "Let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good.... If a Christian voted for Clinton, he sinned against God. It's that simple.... Our goal is a Christian Nation... we have a biblical duty, we are called by God to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want Pluralism. We want theocracy. Theocracy means God rules. I've got a hot flash. God rules."
    --Randall Terry

  • "Loyalty and responsibility toward the people and the Fatherland are most deeply anchored in the Christian faith."
    --Adolph Hitler

  • "How can you have order in a state without religion? For, when one man is dying of hunger near another who is sick from overeating, he cannot resign himself to this difference unless there is an authority which declares "It is God's will." Religion is excellent stuff for keeping people quiet."
    --Napoleon Bonaparte

  • "I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator; by defending myself against the Jews, I am fighting for the Lord."
    --Adolph Hitler

  • "It is your god-given right to destroy any man or woman calling themselves doctors who willingly slaughter innocent children."
    --Keith Tucci

  • "Fascism is a religious concept."
    --Benito Mussolini

  • "People have immortal spirits with incredible power over elemental things. The way to deal with inanimate matter is to talk to it."
    --Pat Robertson

  • "I have followed the Church in giving our party program the character of unalterable finality, like the Creed. The Church has never allowed the Creed to be interfered with. It is fifteen hundred years since it was formulated, but every suggestion for its amendment, every logical criticism, or attack on it, has been rejected. The Church has realized that anything and everything can be built up on a document of that sort, no matter how contradictory or irreconcilable with it. The faithful will swallow it whole, so long as logical reasoning is never allowed to be brought to bear on it."
    --Adolph Hitler

  • "I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Saviour, for whose Kingdom it stands, one Saviour, crucified, risen, and coming again, with life and liberty for all who believe."
    --Dan Quayle

  • "My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter.... In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in his might and seized the scourge to drive out of the temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before that it was for this that he had to shed his blood on the Cross. As a Christian... I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice..."
    --Adolph Hitler

  • "I want to be invisible. I do guerrilla warfare. I paint my face and travel at night. You don't know it's over until you're in a body bag. You don't know until election night."
    --Ralph Reed

  • "I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator."
    --Adolph Hitler

  • "Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners... But for that very reason, I was shown mercy so that in me... Jesus Christ might display His unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the king eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever."
    --Jeffrey Dahmer

  • "We are not one nation, we are two nations entirely separate (Christian and non-Christian)."
    --Pat Robertson

  • "Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."
    --Napoleon Bonaparte

  • "It's very healthy for a young girl to be deterred from promiscuity by fear of contracting a painful, incurable disease, or cervical cancer, or sterility, or the likelihood of giving birth to a dead, blind, or brain-damage [sic] baby even ten years later when she may be happily married."
    --Phyllis Schlafly

  • "This human world of ours would be inconceivable without the practical existence of a religious belief."
    --Adolph Hitler

  • "I wake up every morning and I wish I were dead, and so does Jim."
    --Tammy Fae Bakker

  • "There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that sanctifies the separation of church and state."
    --Pat Robertson

  • "Catholics and Protestants are fighting with one another... while the enemy of Aryan humanity and all Christendom is laughing up his sleeve."
    --Adolph Hitler

  • "There is not one verse in the Bible inhibiting slavery, but many regulating it. It is not then, we conclude, immoral."
    --Rev. Alexander Campbell

  • "Every moment you disguise your position and your truth from the enemy."
    --Ralph Reed
