Let’s play a game: (The sensitive and the religious may want to sit this one out).
Is it a quote from the Bible of Mein Kampf? Yeah that Mein Kampf — Hitler’s evil receipe for the world. I’m not praising that shit. I’m just showing the worst example I could think of to compare to what the deluded think is the “good book.”
Bet you can’t tell the difference…
Answers at the bottom.
Hitler or the Bible
- “Woman’s world is her husband, her family, her children and her home. We do not find it right when she presses into the world of men.”
- “I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, she must be silent.”
- “He who would live must fight. He who doesn’t wish to fight in this world, where permanent struggle is the law of life, has not the right to exist.”
- “Happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us / He who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.”
- “Obstacles do not exist to be surrendered to, but only to be broken.”
- “God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”
- “There is a better chance of seeing a camel pass through the eye of a needle than of seeing a really great man ‘discovered’ through an election.”
- “Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.”
What’s the purpose of this game? Just to show that quotes can be very misleading — and that the Bible is really no more moral than Mein Kampf.

How did you score?
You probably got about half right — the exact percentage you would get right if you flat out guessed. It’s a god damn coin flip.
Why did I make the answers so “simple” and just list every other one? Because after 5 minutes of copy/paste, I couldn’t tell the fucking difference anymore, and that’s the only way I could keep it straight.

My only problem is in knowing which translation of the Bible your are using. Otherwise, I would have had them all right. After all, Hitler considered himself a catholic.
Good point. I didn’t pick from any single translation.
