Dawkins -
When you said to Theland <<yet you are able to ignore the central message of the jesus story>> I pointed out that actually the central, first and foremost message of the Bible is God's love for men and salvation through Christ Jesus His Son, not as you assumed teachings such as 'turn the other cheek' etc ,(though of course they are important).
As for me, and all men, being evil let me introduce you to another core Christian belief.
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God"
"There is none righteous, no not one"
"For the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth"
"For I know that in me,(that is in my flesh), dwelleth no good thing".
We are all sinners, that's why God sent His Son, who sinned not, to die for us, seeing were unable to keep His law.
Each one of us, Christian and atheist alike is capable of the most atrocious crimes.
You think that Nazi anti-semitism was directly from the New Testament !!
The New Testament teaches love towards the Jews! They were the first ones the apostles were to evangalise. And today there is no other group that gives as much support and care toward Jews across the world than bible believing Christians.
Hitler was an atheist, his ethical viewpoint, (ie racism and genocide) had more to do with Darwin's 'The Origin of Species' and theories of eugenics than your ludicrous suggest of the Bible.
