    i don't believe in a heaven or a hell or a god of any sort. we were having a discussion at 2am on religion and one of us asked, the religious friend, is hitler in heaven?

    we think he quite possibly is because everything he did he did it for god.

    If you think that God tells you to nuke a city, or fly a plane into a building, would you do it?

    well... the guy who drove the plane against the building didn't do it for god. It did it for himself. because "tradition" says that if he kills people of other religions he will gain heaven.If a heaven exists.

    And I don't think Hitler did what he did for god.

    There are lots of theories surrounding Hitler's motivations. One theory for the holocaust is that Hitler caught Syphalis from a Jewish prostitute. So when he decided to pin the problems of Germany on a single group, he chose the Jews.

    Of course, using Deymos' logic there's no such thing as a selfless act (including 'doing it for God').
    Such has been the stuff of philosophical debate since debating began.
