taking things in context isn't the same as taking some and leaving others. the case for a text as complex as the Bible to be either this way or that cannot be made with 3 referrenced verses. if the argument requires more effort to display, then i suggest that you either make the effort to state your case in its entirety or not expect that it be taken seriously in a forum such as this. not trying to be snobbish. i hope that sounds like a reasonable request.
hitler was a devout christian? quoting scriptures and using biblical references to manipulate a traditionally christian populace does not a devout christian make. let's not get silly here.
