[Alas]

Seems now the US congress, the US senate, the US administation, and the USSC are trying to do likewise through the public school system.

Papers Reveal Nazi Aim: End Christianity.

Same aim as Islam.

[Fish out of Water]

It sounds like the same plan that the Communist and Socialists have been doing with some of our American Churches for decades.

". . . They wanted to eliminate the Jews altogether, but they were also looking to eliminate Christianity."

Shhhh! Don't say that! The Holocaust industry is going to be very disappointed to hear this.

While we are all aware of the historical phenomenon of theocracies, religion is enemy No. 1 of any modern state, because religious people have inner freedom.

What a coincidence. Isn't this similar to what Islamic Fundamentalists aim to do?

[Ward Smythe]

Isn't this similar to what Islamic Fundamentalists aim to do?

Not to mention the World Council of Churches...

listing.

Will this finally put to rest the standard lie that Nazism was a "Christian" movement out to exterminate Jews and others in the name of "Christianity"?

Some atheists and others are going to be very disappointed.

Isn't this kind of old news?

From what I've read from several books about the Third Reich, the Nazis were strongly already heading away from Christianity anyway, especially with Adolf Hitler's strong obsession with the occult.

Why do you think there was considerable interest during the Nazi era to bring back the old Norse gods? Small wonder why Richard Wagner's Ring cycle of operas was so prominently publicized--and why Wagner's descendants are still trying to live it down.

As a very compassionate person and good comrade I can feel their pain already.
Ughhh :(

The existence of these papers is not surprising to anyone who has read the history of the Nazi movement before the revisionists, the Pius X haters, and the Catholic-bashers got hold of it.

When Bismark decided to modernize Germany into a great power in 1870, one of his first actions was to attack the Catholic Church, which he saw as an incurable impediment to his plans. He put the Lutheran Church on the back burner, to be dealt with later.

With Hitler it was basically the same. Catholicism had to be destroyed. Maybe half the German Lutherans would have to be destroyed as well, but the other half might be coopted and twisted to his purposes.

Naziism was esentially pagan. Like most modern movements which are obsessed with power and control, it wanted to rule over nature and human nature through magic and science. It refused what Christianity advocates: to submit to God and take one's proper place within the nature that God created.

"Important leaders of the National Socialist party would have liked to meet this situation [church influence] by complete extirpation of Christianity and the substitution of a purely racial religion...

Their names wouldn't happen to be Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, would they?

So are you saying that my new computer game "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" is historically acurate? /sarcasm

[crazykatz]

I can tell you this....MANY, MANY of hitler's targets were Orthodox Christians....he supported, aided and encouraged the nazis in Croatia and the muslims of Bosnia and the Albanian muslims in Kosovo to kill them, forcebly convert them or send them off to concentration camps all over the Balkans and Germany.

In fact, the Patriarch and hundreds of Serbian Orthodox Clergy were in concentration camps....many other clergy members including Nuns and Monks , were tortured, multilated and murdered.

[Gritty]

Gosh. A planned attack on Christianity by the Nazis!

It's a good thing we got rid of them. Such a thing never happened before and surely couldn't happen again!... could it?
