Debate Tips: Was Hitler a Christain?

So you're on a forum or a social network, minding your own business, when the unthinkable happens.  A religious discussion breaks out.

Before long, somebody just has to mention the Crusades.  It always happens.  But then, right after the old and worn-out "Crusades-were-bad-so-religion-is-bad" argument, comes a different argument.  One you may or may not be familiar with.  An argument that some people (including me) have a hard time believing exists.

"Oh yeah?  Well, Hitler was a Christian!"

What?  Are you kidding me?

Development Update: Contact Forms Added!

Today I added two contact forms to this blog.  One for Prayer Requests (a new page on the blog), and one for the About/Contact page.  Hopefully they will come in handy.

Installing the contact forms was easier than installing Reftagger or the forums, and those were pretty easy to install.  If you want, I can give you the info on how to install all of this cool stuff on your own blog.  I highly recommend all of them, and I've checked them all out to make sure they're 100% safe.

I might end up customizing them a little bit, because currently they're only black and white.  For now though, I'm just gonna leave 'em the way they are.

So, why do you need contact forms on this blog?

So that people can send me prayer requests, so that I can pray for them.  Or if someone just wants to have  heart-to-heart talk about Christianity, Calvinism, Creationism, etc.  You know, if they don't want it to be public, like it would be in the forums or in a comment.

So yeah.  You can go check out the contact forms on the "Prayer Requests" page or the "About/Contact page.  Just please... don't abuse them.

Development Update: Reftagger Installed!

I've just finished installing a very useful tool on this blog, called Reftagger.

Reftagger automatically turns each Bible reference I make into a link to Biblia.com, an online Bible.  So let's say I reference John 3:16.  Whoa, you see that?  I didn't have to do anything but type out the verse, and Reftagger turned it into a link.

But what if you don't want to open up a link to each verse?  Easy.  Hover over this, without clicking on it: Ephesians 2:8.  See that?  Isn't that awesome?  Personally, I think it is.  You can just read the verse right there!

The link will, if you decide to click on it, take you to the Biblia.com online study Bible.  I have it automatically set to display the NKJV, but you can change between over 50 or so different versions from the Biblia.com website.

If you're interested in using Reftagger for your website, you can get it here.  I recommend it highly, as I have found it to be very helpful on some of the websites that use it.

Now all I really have to do is set up the About/Contact and the Statement of Faith pages, and then this blog will be ready to go.
