[R]emember how Hitler demanded one are after another just prior to World War II. On the other hand, if she was open about her long-term goals all along, no one has any grounds to complain.
Hitler was pretty open about his long term goals in "Mein Kampf", so nobody had a reason to complain??
Christianity is often dumbed down into "if you're good, you'll go to heaven; if not, you'll burn in hell" (which is incorrect) or "if you believe in Christ, you'll go to heaven; if not, you'll burn in hell" (which is correct but incomprehensible since it doesn't explain the underlaying logic).
I don't think Jesus ever said "those who don't believe in me will go to hell" (I think he would have been boggled by the idea of people *believing* in him), did he even mention "hell" at all? If one would want to dumb down Christianity, I think "love your neighbourgs" would come closest - but this of course could never be to the benefit of the church or the politicians.
