Was Hitler A Christian? by OLAADEGBU(m): 8:46am On Apr 20, 2015 |
Skeptics and people from the other religion find it convenient to allege that Adolf Hitler was a Christian. The fact that Hitler mentioned Jesus or quoted from the Scriptures does not make him a Christian just as a Muslim referring to Jesus does not make him a Christian. It can be proved that Hitler was an atheist or at best an occultist. Below is an article by James Patrick Holding elucidating the reality of Hitler's belief system and how it can be classified as a pseudo-Christian heretical belief.

The religious views of Adolf Hitler are a matter of interest and debate. Hitler was raised by an increasingly anti-clerical father and devout Catholic mother. Baptized as an infant and confirmed at the age of fifteen, he ceased attending Mass and participating in the sacraments in later life. In adulthood Hitler became disdainful of Christianity, but in the pursuit and maintenance of power was prepared to delay clashes with the churches out of political considerations. Hitler's architect Albert Speer believed he had "no real attachment" to Catholicism, but that he had never formally left the Church. Unlike his comrade Joseph Goebbels , Hitler was not excommunicated prior to his suicide . |

hitler was more of an atheist than Christian.. How persuasive are these claims? My New York Times bestseller What's So Great About Christianity has the full story and the requisite citations but here's the condensed version. Hitler was born Catholic just as Stalin was born into the Russian Orthodox Church and Mao was raised as a Buddhist. These facts prove nothing as many people reject their religious upbringing, as these three men did. From an early age, historian Allan Bullock writes, Hitler "had no time at all for Catholic teaching, regarding it as a religion fit only for slaves and detesting its ethics." How then do we account for Hitler's claim that in carrying out his anti-Semitic program he was an instrument of divine providence? During his ascent to power, Hitler needed the support of the German people — both the Bavarian Catholics and the Prussian Lutherans — and to secure this he occasionally used rhetoric such as "I am doing the Lord's work." To claim that this rhetoric makes Hitler a Christian is to confuse political opportunism with personal conviction. Hitler himself says in Mein Kampf that his public statements should be understood as propaganda that bears no relation to the truth but is designed to sway the masses. The Nazi idea of an Aryan Christ who uses the sword to cleanse the earth of the Jews — what historians call "Aryan Christianity" — was obviously a radical departure from the traditional Christian understanding and was condemned as such by Pope Pius XI at the time. Moreover, Hitler's anti-Semitism was not religious, it was racial. Jews were targeted not because of their religion — indeed many German Jews were completely secular in their way of life — but because of their racial identity. This was an ethnic and not a religious designation. Hitler's anti-Semitism was secular. |

Olaadegbu...... Longest time. How are you doing? |
Re: Was Hitler A Christian? by Nobody: 12:49pm On Apr 20, 2015 |
johnydon22:I was of course limiting vituperative assaults to just verbal assaults. Hitler could care less about the catholic church in then Germany. |

Re: Was Hitler A Christian? by Nobody: 4:01pm On Apr 21, 2015 |
davien: We definitely don't hate Jesus. And Hitler was a Christian. But I don't judge an entire religion based on the actions of one lunatic |

johnydon22:hitler started with the jews but as he continued he managed to lay hand on any who opposed him Christians included, his persecution camps have the names of a some catholic priests and other ministers, a some of whom dies with the jews. |

Ubenedictus:Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Corrie Ten Boom come to mind. I read sometime ago that Hitler also used the antisemitic writings of the reformer Martin Luther to justify his pogrom. |

johnydon22: What makes one a Christian? Does being born in a bakery qualify one to be a loaf of bread? |

OLAADEGBU: Excellent question! What are the criteria? Being 'born' in a bakery, or to put it in other words, having your origin in a bakery makes you almost certainly a loaf of bread. Of course there is always the possibility that a pregnant woman came into labour while in the bakery and there was no time but to have the baby delivered there. It is possible, but unlikely. It is most highly like that if you started life in a bakery then you are loaf of bread. |

Chappie: This is just 2nd hand accounts from others. What were Hitler's own words on the subject? |
Re: Was Hitler A Christian? by udatso: 4:38pm On Apr 22, 2015 |
OLAADEGBU:I really didn't want to go into this deeply, but the evidence is in your posts and topics. Let's take for instance in www.nairaland.com/1908052/muslim-molests-2-year-old In your own way You were trying to defend the gospel by bringing up any meaningful post that can spread hatred for Islam even though a Christian tried to make you see the errors of your ways. My point is, after that thread, you didn't come up again to recycle the topic. Therefore even though you love to attack Islam/Muslims yiu know when to let go and move for the next available topic to attack Islam. This is just one out of many, there was this thread you created with a pic of a girl whose mouth was sewn with thread by Muslims..... After you were confronted by some Muslims including me and vedaxcool and the falsehood was debunked you never said anything about it again. On the other hand Ifeann would keep posting that topic in almost every new threads or topic she creates asking Muslims to respond to it. You can check her profile. By the way why have you stopped your attack on Islam? 2 Likes |
Re: Was Hitler A Christian? by OLAADEGBU(m): 4:48pm On Apr 22, 2015 |
PastorAIO: Wrong. Even if you were conceived, delivered and nurtured in a bakery that does not qualify you to be a loaf of bread, neither does being born by a pastor or into a Christian family make you a Christian. God only has children not grandchildren. |

udatso: I don't need to expose what Islam is all about If you listen to the news any sane person will not be in any doubt as to what Islam is all about and it is not about peace as this woman Ayaam Hirsi Ali eloquently states in the newsflash below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd1f67beuWI |
Re: Was Hitler A Christian? by udatso: 5:17pm On Apr 22, 2015 |
OLAADEGBU:But why did you stop? Or wasn't the media there at the time you used to.? Or sane people didn't have access to news? |
Re: Was Hitler A Christian? by OLAADEGBU(m): 5:29pm On Apr 22, 2015 |
udatso: I believe you are sane enough not to derail this thread. Was Hitler a Christian or not? Kindly drop your opinion. |
