Are you still following the Hitler religion page? You should chime back in. Carrier is back in under "public statements". I fully support your position.Greengrounds (talk) 06:29, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
- I did take a look. The quote that was removed should not have been there at all, I think. Because it did not get into the peer-reviewed article because it is kind of silly (it is impossible to generalize religion for 'all' Nazis). Best is to focus on that the facts from the peer-reviewed article of Carrier don't get removed or babbled away with partisian pseudo-science (everybody knows which universities are suspectible) that try to distance Hitler's thoughts from Christianity. And that are parroting older research that already has been discredited, creating a false illusion of 'counting' of arguments. Mastah (talk) 15:42, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
128.187.97.25's beliefs
[edit]I am a convert to Christianity, or more specifically, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I believe in Christ, and state that He suffered, died, and then rose on the third day. I cannot deny the witness I've received for this truth. I believe God has set a path for me that will bring me and those I strive to help reach the same happiness He has. I have been made happier, safer, and saner because of religion, and so have millions of others. I have learned for myself that atheism is not true, and that and I will die for my beliefs.
- Good for you, make your own choices. If you feel comfortable with that belief and church that's your personal choice and that's fine.
I desire to I ask you a few questions: Do you believe I'm an idiot, or have become deranged, brainwashed, or stupid in anyway? Do you believe my views are dangerous to you or society? Will you lump me with the Nazis, whom you claim are religious?
- Let's split that question out, because you are asking multiple things. First of all ar you an idiot: no, not per se. Since I don't know you, I cannot tell. But that you are posting these questions at a wikipedia page of somebody you don't know is a bit weird though. The same applies for deranged, brainwashed or stupid, I cannot tell if you are, though I can't either know if you are *not*... I think a doctor might be able to tell you, if you really would want to know.
- Then the next question, if you are lumped together with the Nazis in my opinion? You know that's a silly question. There were millions of Nazis in Nazi-Germany (and other countries as well, actually). Important is to remember that Nazis were not Nazis because they were following a certain religion or so, they were this because of social context of their time and place. The people following the Nazi-regime in Nazi-Germany were all kinds of people, poor, rich, religious and non-religious. But a fact is that the most of those people in those time were religious, more than 90% or so were Christian in Germany. So in Nazi-Germany there were around this same percentage Christians member of the Nazi-party or sympathizing with it. Does that make a Christian a Nazi? *no*! Does that make an Atheist a Nazi? *also no*! Is a Nazi by definition a Christian or an Atheist? *nope*. It's just as silly asking the question if living in New York City makes you a woman... More than half of the people living in NYC are female, so statistically you would have more than 50% chance being one in that case, but it doesn't make you one... :-P So to go back to your question: do I claim that Nazis are religious? I don't *claim* that a specific Nazi or all Nazi's are religious, but it is a *fact* that around 90% of the Nazis were, but it just a meaningless number, like: how many Nazis were male? Does that make all men Nazis?
Finally, what exactly do you expect to gain out of this life?
- A happy life, just like anybody else?
Don't be afraid to answer me. My e-mail is ohsaywhatistruth@gmail.com. I look forward to your responses. May God (or whomever being or thing you worship) benefit you in ways that please you. 128.187.97.25 (talk) 08:59, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
- I answered you here, I won't e-mail you. I don't worship anything, but I love my family, is that ok? :-) Mastah (talk) 09:37, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
Your account will be renamed
[edit]Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mastah. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mastah~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
[edit]Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 10:05, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
