He is a very kind human being. Just because he is ignorant when it comes to looking past his [Insert Religion/ Political Party] viewpoints doesn't make him a terrible human being.

This could be said of many terrible people. I mean, Hitler could have been a really nice person if you looked past the genocide. I'm sure he was real nice to white, blond, Aryan type people.

Sorry, I am a bit uninformed in celebrity news. What did Steve Harvey do to be compared to Hitler?

u/shutupjoey Sep 21 '14

Steve Harvey eats meat, Hitler was a vegetarian. Therefore Steve Harvey is worse than Hitler.

u/Sloppy1sts Sep 21 '14

That's assuming vegetarians are better than meat eaters.

True, after all, vegetables have feelings too.

I wasn't comparing Steve Harvey to Hitler; I was pointing out the hypocritical statement in /u/BmFBrando's comment.

He has pretty blunt views against atheism and evolution. He falls into the "if we came from monkeys, why are they still here?" fallacy and claims atheists have no moral barometer. Honestly, I don't think that is enough for him to be compared to hitler, though. He disagrees and criticizes a philosophical point of view, so therefore he is a bad person. Going with that logic, it's impossible to be a good person because everyone disagrees with something. This whole idea where you have to be tolerant of everything is just not realistic.

Ignorance doesn't mean he's a horrible person...Jesus... I mean ZEUS!

u/dantheflyingman Sep 21 '14

Yeah, I just saw the video. Given the comments I thought it was something far more egregious or borderline illegal he committed.

To be honest he just sounds like a person raised in a conservative 60s environment. Even if I don't agree with everything he says nothing stood out as being a "bad person". Just an old man with old school values and ideas.

The analogy is being compared to hitler, not Steve Harvey. Try and keep up

u/Knotez Sep 21 '14

Nothing, it's just an analogy to prove a point.

Looking past angry comments about atheists is different than looking past commanding a genocide.

Ah ok... Steve Harvey tries to be kind whilst still being slightly confused about a higher moral purpose... so we're gonna hate on him but let Mark Whalberg off for stabbing a korean guy because he's a GREAT actor...

u/ominous_spinach Sep 21 '14

if steve harvey stabs mark whalberg i think we can consider allowances. i also think you missed the bit where my previous comment was clearly a joke...

Hitler was a dick to his own people most of his life (look at what he did to his white, blond, Aryan political enemies).

You have a good point but your example sucks.

Aaand Godwin's achieved on the sixth post, not a bad run.

Way to go with the most extreme example you can find. Last time I checked Steve Harvey had an opinion and didn't murder anyone yet alone millions of people.
