Jane Fonda talks about how she is 'riveted' by faith and why feminism is what Jesus taught
From her longtime political activism to her Oscar-winning acting, Jane Fonda has never done anything halfheartedly, and she brings this characteristic intensity to her faith. When she talks about "feeling the presence of the Almighty," her view of Jesus, and the way she prays, her voice wells from deep within her chest. You may know this voice from her films (among dozens of others: Barbarella, Klute, On Golden Pond, and currently in theaters, Monster-in-Law), or from her aerobics videos ("feel the burn!"), or from film reels from the sixties, when she spoke out against the Vietnam War. Fonda, now 67, spoke with us recently about her spirituality.

This quote kinda says it all. She's immersed in Gnostic gospels, and a humanist gospel. God doesn't respect our humanity, He condemns our sin and offers us forgiveness. She's not a biblical Christian.
Puh-leeze! She is a celeb after all, wouldn't "Cuspidor Jane" be better?
Nevertheless, it seems to me that Jane -- and Ted Turner, several times! -- accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior at some point. So they're already locks for heaven. According to the "I'm saved!" crowd anyway.
Hey now, everybody loves a triple-breasted whore! Reminds me of the tribe in Africa that worshipped Salma Hayek's breasts....
However, I will have to see her reference "sin" in order for me to really believe she knows what she was saved from. The gnostic references make me think she still doesn't understand sin. But if she keeps searching...who knows?
I hope she comes to truth. She certainly has been an awful person.
Hitler as leader of the Third Reich did not claim to be a Christian, although early in his term as German Chancellor he made friendly statements about Christians, strictly for political purposes. Hitler expended huge amounts of time, along with Heinrich Himmler, crafting a new religion, based mainly on Old Norse folklore, German fairytales and their distorted understanding of Nietzchean philosophy, which he intended to impose on the German people (and conquered peoples) after the war was won.
You will not find a single quote from Hitler where he "calls himself a Christian." Never happened.

" And I was, utterly fascinated because they were smart people, President Jimmy Carter"
Jimmy Carter=Smart People!? LOL It took Reagan 8 years trying to undo the damage to this country and the world that Jimmy the bumbling idiot did in 4.
Ted Turner blames God for his sister's death. How sad, huh?
Jane Fonda obviously has been searching all her life for some kind of father figure; living life without boundaries or direction. Our Heavenly Father loves everyone. He accepts all who seek Him without "finding fault." If Jane seeks the Lord, then none of us could risk ourselves with the possibility of her success by casting our judgment upon her.

As I said in my first post, Hitler made statements throughout his early political career which were friendly to the Christian point of view, but he alway made them cynically and for political purposes. His own beliefs were in fact anti-Christian. He commissioned Heinrich Himmler to come up with foundational credos for a new religion, which Himmler set about doing with hundreds of SS men at Castle Wolfenstein.
Ear Ear..In Austrailyer that's 'veh join oz' vote...mate
"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before in the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice.... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people.... When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom to-day this poor people is plundered and exploited."
-Adolf Hitler, in his speech on 12 April 1922

She's one of those "leftist christians." The ones who are trying to say "Those right-wing Chritstians don't speak for all christians." That's a tack you should expect to see while these judicial nominations are in play.
