I have determined that any religious discussion will inevitibly turn to Adolf Hitler. As far as that goes, just about any other subject will eventually get there also. I will have to come up with some type of Hitler Law for that.
Oh...here's something interesting...
While looking up a pronuciation for the latin term "hoc est enim corpus meum", I ran across the latin pronunciation for Caesar, which is pronounced kaizer. I then decided to look up the meaning for soze. In Turkish, it means "verbalization".
That then got me thinking about Verbal Kint, so I looked up Kint, which in Turkish means King...so Verbal Kint (Verbal King ) is Keyser Soze (Caesar Verbalization). Those "Usual Suspects" dudes were very tricky.

Not an endorsment but here are some quotes from Hitler regarding the Church:
I soon realized that the correct use of propaganda is a true art which has remained practically unknown to the bourgeois parties. Only the Christian-Social movement, especially in Lüger's time, achieved a certain virtuosity on this instrument, to which it owed many of its success.
- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Chapter 6
The greatness of Christianity did not lie in attempted negotiations for compromise with any similar philosophical opinions in the ancient world, but in its inexorable fanaticism in preaching and fighting for its own doctrine.
- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf Vol. 1 Chapter 12
The greatness of every mighty organization embodying an idea in this world lies in the religious fanaticism and intolerance with which, fanatically convinced of its own right, it intolerantly imposes its will against all others.
- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf Vol. 1 Chapter 12
For how shall we fill people with blind faith in the correctness of a doctrine, if we ourselves spread uncertainty and doubt by constant changes in its outward structure? ...Here, too, we can learn by the example of the Catholic Church. Though its doctrinal edifice, and in part quite superfluously, comes into collision with exact science and research, it is none the less unwilling to sacrifice so much as one little syllable of its dogmas... it is only such dogmas which lend to the whole body the character of a faith.
- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf Vol. 2 Chapter 5
I have followed [the Church] in giving our party program the character of unalterable finality, like the Creed. The Church has never allowed the Creed to be interfered with. It is fifteen hundred years since it was formulated, but every suggestion for its amendment, every logical criticism, or attack on it, has been rejected. The Church has realized that anything and everything can be built up on a document of that sort, no matter how contradictory or irreconcilable with it. The faithful will swallow it whole, so long as logical reasoning is never allowed to be brought to bear on it.
- Adolf Hitler, from Rauschning, The Voice of Destruction, pp. 239-40
