McGrath - Hitler didn't think so because Hitler was a paranoid fanatic with a gigantic persecution complex. Such people are dangerous. Had Germany not lost the First World War and had the young Hitler never been a disgruntled and bitter German veteran at the end of that war...you would never have had the rise of the Nazis. He was a product of his own negative experiences and his reaction to those....as is the case with most people. Whatever they suffer in youth tends to haunt them for the rest of their lives.

freda - Thanks for the great post on Mithras! Bravo. People really need to learn about stuff like that in order to get a bit more insight into the ancient origins of the religions they take for granted.
