"Four in 10 of the migrants who came to the UK last year came with no job waiting for them, said May, and this “search for a better life” has had huge economic costs for the countries they’ve left behind. Advertisement
“A third of Portugal’s qualified nurses have migrated; 20% of the Czech Republic’s medical graduates leave as soon as they qualify; nearly 500 doctors are leaving Bulgaria every year.”

Well you shouldn't. Nazi Germany was nominally Christian and you can't change that just because it wasn't a particularly strong component of its identity.
Yes I should. Hitler didn't come to power by revolution - he kissed a lot of babies and spoke before a lot of Catholic women's groups on the way up. The fact that he didn't close the Churches and shoot the clergy has no bearing whatever on the atheistic philosophy behind his regime and its actions.
By 'atheistic philosophy' do you mean a philosophy that doesn't focus on the primacy of a god or a philosophy that actively rejects the existence of a god? You can promote the former without being an atheist.
I believe Nazism was the latter. One of the hymns of the Hitler Youth had this stanza:
"NO EVIL PRIEST CAN PREVENT US FROM FEELING
THAT WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF ADOLPH HITLER
AWAY WITH THE INCENSE AND HOLY WATER
THE SWASTIKA BRINGS SALVATION ON EARTH"
Through organisations like the Hitler Youth, they were deliberately killing the Church slowly by demography. To have done so immediately by having clergy shot, Bibles burned etc. would have been utterly politically impossible.
The Nazi philosophy was that the leader was effectively Godlike.
so a bit like the SNP ?
Yes Alan as in no contest for leadership or Brown like.
One of the most disturbing parts of Islam is how the scholars divide the world into the "Land of Islam" and the "Land of War".
What's hilarious as an atheist is that I see far more similarities (both good and bad) between Islam and the other Abrahamic religions it has evolved from. Many of the quotes both the "Islam is good" and "Islam is bad" crowd selectively quote are really translations of passages from the Old Testament.
Islam shares more with Christianity than either side is willing to admit. Both for good and ill.
Right.
So why are so many muslims heading for rich Christian countries rather than the rich muslim ones on their doorsteps ?
Because economics has bugger all to do with religion?
What an incredibly stupid remark. There is a reason Protestant Europe is richer than Catholic Europe. For an apparently clever person you are seriously dim.
Although catholic Bavaria is the richest part of Germany
Was that always the case? Perhaps the protestant north was wealthier before the first and second world wars which I think took a greater toll on the north than Bavaria.

No, Bavaria always used to be thought of as poor and rural. It could be argued that Bavaria surpassed the north when the north became less religious, and thus less Protestant! Whether or not that's true, it's certainly clear that Bavaria and Austria were shaped by the broader Protestant culture that affected German culture overall.

Let's face it, the Nazi "philosophy" on religion was as self-serving a fucked-up mish-mash of ideas as everything else they spouted forth about. You just can't fit the Nazi fascination with the Occult, Ariosophy and the Spear of Destiny into any coherent religious doctrine. It probably taps into a deep-seated ancient paganism that still sat alongside the more recent Christian beliefs.

The election is a combination of a postal vote and an electronic vote (for supporters). In these types of vote most people who are going to vote do so when they receive the letter in the post or the email. Most of those who are going to vote will have already done so.

Well that's idiotic as the Nazi's were Christians. Moron.
Sorry you feel the need to resort to personal insults, but I'll address your point.
There is not a single reputable scholar in the field of history who will say that the Nazis were Christians. I've studied the inter-war period at degree level, so I know a little about it. Hitler was a militant atheist; who tolerated the Church (albeit subverting with the Nazi idoelogy) merely because his regime depended on maintaining the social fabric of Germany - indeed being seen to be a bulwark against it's disintegration.
I'd say that's a very fair and lucid summation.
Don't think I'd call Hitler a Militant Atheist - militant anti-Catholic might fit, given what he did to the churech-based youth organisations.
Certainly Richard DFabiansand his Disciples gibberish about "Hitler was a Roman Catholic" are the usual type of abusive Dawkins fairy stories.
I'd more call him a Homicidal Pagan - ie some sort of inchoate nonorthodox blood and soil nature religion.
There's a quite major difference between the different periods of Hitler too ... Say between 1926, 1932, 1939 and 1945.
If we want to stir the pot remember that our own multimillion strong Peace Pledge Union movement was pushing appeasement and for Hitler to be given the Sudetenland.
Mr. 1000, I believe Sikh is considered both a religious and ethnic term.
I don't think you can convert to Hinduism either.
It's a little hard to follow the thread of your conversation without previous quotes Mr Dancer, but I think you are following up on a comment about converting to Judaism.
It is possible to convert although it's not a simple or easy process. My brother is a dayanim of our local beth din (the rabbinical court) so I am very familiar with the procedure. Getting a Shtar geirut (a Certificate of Conversion) is not a trivial undertaking.
Well you shouldn't. Nazi Germany was nominally Christian and you can't change that just because it wasn't a particularly strong component of its identity.

Quite right: Hamburg is number one.
However, Hamburg is slightly anomolous of the German lander, in that (along with Bremen and Berlin), it is basically just a city. Of the non-city states, Bavaria is the richest. And I suspect if you compared Munich (the dominant city in Bavaria) with Hamburg, then Munich (home to Allianz, Siemens, Munich Re, etc. etc.) would be the richer. (In fact, I suspect Munich is the richest city in Germany.)

Calum S @CalumSPlath 4h4 hours ago Blair's interventions in the leader race are sounding increasingly like guys on Grindr who become more persistent the more they're ignored
Mr. Calum, what's the SNP approach to all-women shortlists, and the like?
As far as I can tell the SNP candidate selection process is a membership vote at the constituency and regional level, my MSP is Keith Brown who was returned as the candidate unopposed. Edinburgh South the only Edinburgh seat not held by the SNP attracted 10 candidates - they eventually selected an Edinburgh lawyer (male).

Completely asinine article. The idea that we need to be in the EU to attract talent like that from the Far East and India that this researcher has is kind of flawed by the fact that the Far East and India aren't part of the EU. I'm guessing he's not a researcher into Geography with this nonsense.

That probably is very much the case.. Blair is delusional as he thinks he has as much influence in UK politics as when he was PM.

How about being fair to the truth? Just because Blair lied doesn't make it OK to not be honest about what Blair has said now. Two wrongs don't make a right, even if one wrong is obviously worse and has infinitely more serious consequences.
