Well, I never watch Big Brother.
But anyone who thinks Hitler was 'a sweet kid' needs some serious re-education about history.

Hi Big Lin, I have heard that in a past life Hitler was that French leader Napoleon who also wanted to rule the world. He tried and failed, then tried and failed again as Hitler.

Napoleon was a nasty bit of work but compared to Hitler he was a heavenly angel.
And of course the main point is that if this stupid woman seriously thinks Hitler was a 'sweet kid' then she has the moral sensitivity of a serial killer.
You know, 27 January is Holocaust Memorial Day. I always get sad and introverted about that time.
Relatives of mine were murdered by Hitler's goons and my uncle was an Auschwitz survivor.
So I really don't appreciate your insensitivity in bringing your Eckist beliefs on to this particular thread.
Hitler, like Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao and a few other psychos, achieved the power to destroy.
So please don't come up with this sort of nonsense on that particular subject again.

Napoleonic history is particularly interesting. If you read it by an English author, Napoleon was the essence of evil. If you read it by a French author, Napoleon was one of the greatest leaders who ever lived.
My favorite version is by Will and Ariel Durant in their epic History of the World series. He came to power on the heels of the French Revolution, when life itself was very cheap in France. He excelled in military tactics establishing his reputation with a defeat of the English fleet in Toulon.
I don't see much in common between Hitler and Napoleon. Hitler really was the essence of evil. A megalomaniac, a racist, and a mass muderer of epic proportions. Napoleon was a great military leader who fed on the glory of victory. Both overreached and were knocked off their exalted perches by their own ambitions. Russian winter was the achilles heel for both.
Waterloo was little more than an encore for Napoleon. He lost most of his experienced army units during the Russian invasion. When he later returned from exile and recruited a new army, they were mostly untrained and raw. Nevertheless, they performed well against the British at Waterloo until the Prussians joined the battle and overwhelmed them.
There was much to respect about Napoleon. but nothing to respect about Hitler.

I totally agree, BA. Napoleon had faults and virtues; Hitler was a different kettle of fish.
Napoleon might have been ruthless but he was never a mass murderer.

May Hitler burn in Hell for all he did to innocent people! Hi Lady Di, God doesn't need any help to do the job. But we do have to have love in our hearts. It is written in the Bible: 'love your neighbour as yourself' and also 'love your enemy' if we don't then we really are not followers of Jesus.

May Hitler burn in Hell for all he did to innocent people! Hi LadyDi,There is no need for you to pollute your being with these kinds of thoughts. We are told to love our enemies, so shouldn't we be doing that. We will all be judged individually and if you have hate in your heart that is how you will also be judged. God will judge Hitler, our job is to be obedient to God, isn't that so? Think about it.!!! JESUS came to preach LOVE.!!!

Is this the same Jesus who said 'I am come not to bring peace but a sword?' Hi Big Lin, May I ask your interpretation of that? Mine is: that even in families not all will believe what Jesus has to say, and so will be divided in their loyalties. Which is the same as 'I am not come to bring peace, but a sword' Jesus knows human nature, so he knew that not everyone would believe him, so families could be at loggerheads or at each other's throats as the saying goes. This kind of behaviour still prevails even to day, as you very well know. We are always arguing over almost everything, it has become an ingrained habit by the looks of it. One thing I know for sure is: that we reap what we sow, so it pays to be peaceful individuals, and ofcourse loving our enemies. God will take care of everything else.

Hi Gibby, I love all Souls which is what we really are. It is the mind that commiits atrocities because of ignorance. We have been given freedom of choice because of the dual forces of positivity and negativity, you can choose either one. The mind makes the decisions and it is the mind that chooses whether it will be a decision for good or evil. I myself have chosen in this lifetime, to do good. In this world you can choose to love or choose to hate, it is up to everyone to make that choice.

See above So did that other person hear that from the voices in their head ? Hi Gibby, You evidently know very little about the workings of ECKANKAR. When you seek spiritual enlightenment, there is a process that takes place in order for a person to receive enlightenment, and when that happens, the person starts gravitating towards the Godhead. It says in the Bible that our understanding is as if we are looking through a glass darkly. In order to gain enlightenment we have to seek that enlightenment. It also says: ask and ye shall receive. If we follow these instructions then spiritual evolvement takes place. With each stage of development a person gains more spiritual understanding until you finally reach a stage that you are no longer in the dark about what life is all about. At the moment, the majority of people are blind and will remain like that until they start seeking spiritual enlightenment. That is about the gist of things, Seek and ye shall Find.!!!

Hi Big Lin, Creating war, turns you into a mass murderer. In war, people are killed and just because Napoleon sought power to control the world, just as Hitler did.

Hi Big Lin, Creating war, turns you into a mass murderer. In war, people are killed and just because Napoleon sought power to control the world, just as Hitler did. Napoleon came to power just as the bloody French Revolution was winding down. In fact, he was selected by the leaders of the revolutionaries who had beheaded King Louie the sixteenth. European governments were monarchies at that time. The big powers, England, Spain, Russia, Austria, and Prussia all had their kings. Those monarchs were immediately hostile toward France because they wanted no part of any revolution such as the one that had just murdered the French king. They were equally upset because Napoleon was a commoner with no royal bloodline. Getting rid of Napoleon and restoring the French monarchy was very high on their collective priority lists. In addition, France was a traditional enemy of Britain and Austria. They already viewed each other as enemies before the French Revolution. I doubt very much that Napoleon had ambitions to conquer most of Europe when he first took power. That probably came later when he had tasted the glory of his many victories on the battlefield. Napoleon was, after all, a great general and military tactician moreso than anything else. He was only 43 when he died having already been in exile for several years. He was an amazing man.
