Hitler was likely a textbook sociopath with a nice mix of paranoia and narcissism.
However, it may be important to remember that stress is a common cause to many psychological problems. Hitler, having the stress of ruling a nation and fighting in WW2, could have come of his disorders after having instituted many of the evil plans.
There is also the fact that anti-semitism was rampant in Europe at these times, and very likely if Hitler himself had not come to power, someone else who had similar anti-jew ideologies could have come in instead.
While it is nice to try and pass off the evil of Hitler's acts to psychological insanity, the fact remains that Hitler is likely more a product of hundreds of years of Jewish conspiracy theory and massive economic depression in Germany.

i agree with that, but he also had syphilis which can and will affect the brain, though if he hadn't had it I'm sure he still would have done all the things he had done, but if he didn't have it he probably would have stopped D-day from happening, but yes his past as well as the present just brought his sociopathic "outburst" to happen, and this sparked a war that with the aid of syphilis would cause him to lose... but no i do not think he was evil, i think he was a sociopath with syphilis, as that is what he was.

Here's a whole post I made about religious intolerance.I don't soley place all the worlds woes upon the Christians.Thats when religion can get violent and scary.That very same kind of unswaying alligiance is why fundamentalist Christians persecuted many Muslims in the Crusades.Why the Pagans sought to kill out early Christians for their 'evil' belifes.Why Christians then administered gruesome tortures onto the Pagans once they came into power.Why fundamentalist Muslims crashed two plains into the world trade center on 9/11.
Now i'm in no way trying to put down your belief in Christ.I'm not trying to say all Christians are going to commit mass suicide or that all muslims are crazy martyrs.But when any system of belief claims their god,or whatever it is they worship,is supreme and above all other religious systems,that's when the world gets ugly and thats what causes intolerance in religion.
So you asked us if we can handle the truth.Well,the truth is very many different things to very many different people.No two people will answer this question exactly the same and that's a good thing.We don't need mindless zombies all conforming to one belife system.We need diversity in religion,and tolerance for the beliefs of others.So now I will ask you this.
Can you handle the consequence's of what you consider to be the truth?
I consider the truth being that dispite everyone always being against the christens (for no good reason at all)that they should stop putting them down.
Like other religion they are not the only ones who had made mistakes in the past.So why is it always pointed to them when something bad happens?
Why not the others as well?jm 😕
I hardly think anyone born is inheritantly evil. Nor are paths evil, nor are choices evil, or for that matter...our actions. None of it is evil, or good. It just is. A choice. His right to do what he wanted to do, without regard to anyone else's benefit or lack thereof.
We do what we do because it's our choice to do them, or not.

That is only true if you do not live in a society.
