Sometimes I get the feeling that people aren't even trying to understand. More interested in making some perceived pithy point. Last I checked, Hitler's story hasn't made it into any version of the Bible as an example of how Christianity should be lived out. So yeah, I'd say Hitler definitely didn't get the message. I have no idea where this concept grew from that if God exists, only sunshine and flowers will exist on the earth. And because there is more than sunshine and flowers then God doesn't exist. I absolutely cannot follow the arguements in the previous post.
As to creation, I very much doubt it all happened in 6 litteral days. To me, it's more of a story that lets us know that this entire universe does have an element of control, and isn't just one huge random experience. But then, I've never had the opportunity to be God for a day so I don't really know how much I could get done in 1 day if I really set my mind to it. The Bible was written by men after all. And that is one of the areas where I part from hardline Christianity. Because many religions claim that their understanding is correct and the only true understanding; but for me it really isn't an all or nothing. Either every religion is totally wrong or totally right doesn't add up.
