Padre35 - Why are you twisting things to make your argument? China is communist or buddhist? Cambodia is communist or buddhist? Was it the communist who killed the people or the buddhist? Was it the commie atheist who did the killing or the commie buddhist? I do not understand. BTW: Communism is not a religion and Atheism is not a religion.
Hitler and the people of Deutschland are Christians. Hitler’s German Worker’s Party program states: “We demand liberty for all religious denominations in the State, so far as they are not a danger to it and do not militate against the morality and moral sense of the German race. The Party, as such, stands for positive Christianity, but does not bind itself in the matter of creed to any particular confession. It combats the Jewish-materialist spirit within and without us, and is convinced that our nation can achieve permanent health from within only on the principle: the common interest before self-interest.”
Adolf Hitler, in his speech in Munich said “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.”
Clearly Hitler was a Christian. Why do you not accept the truth? Why do you twist the facts? Denial is not a river in Eygpt.
IMHO - I beleive it is pursuit of power and self-righteous that kill people.
And Hitler said “The nordic gods will awake from a thousand year slumber and shake the dust from their eyes” Hitler was a big fan of Wagner and his “Nordic operas”.
Hmm Hitler the Christian?
“All of these are quotes from Adolf Hitler:
Night of 11th-12th July, 1941:
National Socialism and religion cannot exist together.... The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity’s illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. The deliberate lie in the matter of religion was introduced into the world by Christianity.... Let it not be said that Christianity brought man the life of the soul, for that evolution was in the natural order of things. (p 6 & 7)
10th October, 1941, midday:
Christianity is a rebellion against natural law, a protest against nature. Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the systematic cultivation of the human failure. (p 43)
14th October, 1941, midday:
The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death.... When understanding of the universe has become widespread... Christian doctrine will be convicted of absurdity.... Christianity has reached the peak of absurdity.... And that’s why someday its structure will collapse.... ...the only way to get rid of Christianity is to allow it to die little by little.... Christianity the liar.... We’ll see to it that the Churches cannot spread abroad teachings in conflict with the interests of the State. (p 49-52) “
Not quite. Hitler used Christianity to gain power then he saw the Church as a threat to his state power, no more no less.
“...China is communist or buddhist...”
Really? So China isn’t a buddhist nation suffering under communism? Tsk tsk, you are entitled to your own opinion, but not to your own facts, the facts are Atheism has put more people in cemeteries then any other philosophy known to man, with very little in return for the good of all of mankind.
