Do liberals and atheists honestly think Hitler represents Christianity?

[mickt]

Nope.

The first edition of "Mein Kampf" suggests that Hitler may once have believed in a young earth: "this planet will, as it did thousands of years ago, move through the ether devoid of men" (p. 65; the second edition substitutes "millions" for "thousands," and chapter 11 refers to "hundreds of thousands of years" of life in another context.) Other passages further support his creationist leanings:

"The undermining of the existence of human culture by the destruction of its bearer seems in the eyes of a folkish philosophy the most execrable crime. Anyone who dares to lay hands on the highest image of the Lord commits sacrilege against the benevolent Creator of this miracle and contributes to the expulsion from paradise." (Hitler 1943, p. 383)

"What we must fight for is to safeguard the existence and reproduction of our race and our people, . . . so that our people may mature for the fulfillment of the mission allotted it by the creator of the universe." (Hitler 1943, p. 214)

Right: Naziism was constructed to be compatible with Christianity.


Except that it was. We've been over this: Hitler drew heavily from Luther's anti-Semitic religious writings.


... with Christianity permeating and informing all of it.


It's generally irrelevant. Pagan influences don't make a thing "not Christian." Look at all the various Pagan festivals that got repurposed as Christian holidays. Look at all the Pagan gods who got repackaged as Christian saints.

It's not a zero-sum game where "more Pagan" = "less Christian."


You argued that Rosenberg pushed for his own particular brand of Christianity. You underscored my own point.

As I've said several times now: promoting one version of Christianity and suppressing all others is part of the standard playbook for a Christian theocracy.

You are determined to see Nazism as Christian, no matter the mountain of evidence to the contrary or the consensus of historians on the matter. You honestly think planning to strip churches of the Bible, cross and saints is just another form of Christianity. That's just loony to me. I'm not wasting any more time on this.

who said this??.....
First, their synagogues or churches should be set on fire,...
Secondly, their homes should likewise be broken down and destroyed... They ought to be put under one roof or in a stable, like Gypsies.
Thirdly, they should be deprived of their prayer books and Talmuds in which such idolatry, lies, cursing and blasphemy are taught.
Fourthly, their rabbis must be forbidden under threat of death to teach any more...
Fifthly, passport and traveling privileges should be absolutely forbidden to the Jews...
Sixthly, they ought to be stopped from usury. All their cash and valuables of silver and gold ought to be taken from them and put aside for safe keeping...
Seventhly, let the young and strong Jews and Jewesses be given the flail, the axe, the hoe, the spade, the distaff, and spindle and let them earn their bread by the sweat of their noses as in enjoined upon Adam's children...
To sum up, dear princes and nobles who have Jews in your domains, if this advice of mine does not suit you, then find a better one so that you and we may all be free of this insufferable devilish burden - the Jews...................===================WAS THIS GUY CHRISTIAN?

You think the ravings of Martin Luther prove Hitler was a Christian?

They thought that the Bible - in the form we have it - was "corrupted" by Judaism.

And as for a lack of crosses and saints... go to any Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall, Quaker meeting house, or LDS church and tell me how many crosses or depictions of saints you see. Plenty of Christian denominations reject these things.

Lol, this post is too funny. You're comparing replacing those things with Mein Kampf, a swastika and a sword at the altar with JW Kingdom Halls. This is too ridiculous for me.

Hitler's mother was Catholic.. His father was an atheist. He was confirmed but never attended Mass. There is zero evidence that he was a Christian.. He used religion .. just like he used the ravings of Martin Luther to fire up the masses.

Trump claimed he was a member of the big Presbyterian Church in NYC.. The minister said he'd never set foot in the church..

You're misrepresenting my position. I haven't said that Naziism is a Christian movement.

It's informed by Christian teachings. It has aspects that were Christian movements, e.g. Positive Christianity. It was designed to be compatible with the Christianity of the German people. Naziism is representative of the views of many Christians, past and present.

... but this is different from the idea that Christianity was the main motivating force behind the Nazi movement. I have no doubt that many individual Nazis were motivated by their Christian faith, but Naziism as whole more stood alongside Christianity than was an outgrowth of it.

Trump might not be sincere in his Christianity, but the people who had him sign their Bibles almost certainly are.

Trump's - or Hitler's - personal beliefs really aren't that relevant to the question of whether he's the focus of a Christian movement.

1096: The First Crusade was launched in this year. Although the prime goal of the crusades was to liberate Jerusalem from the Muslims, Jews were a second target. As the soldiers passed through Europe on the way to the Holy Land, large numbers of Jews were challenged: "Christ-killers, embrace the Cross or die!" 12,000 Jews in the Rhine Valley alone were killed in the first Crusade. This behavior continued for 8 additional crusades until the 9th in 1272.

bullet 1099: The Crusaders forced all of the Jews of Jerusalem into a central synagogue and set it on fire. Those who tried to escape were forced back into the burning building.

Canon 26 stated that "the testimony of Christians against Jews is to be preferred in all causes where they use their own witnesses against Christians." 7

bullet 1180: The French King of France, Philip Augustus, arbitrarily seized all Jewish property and expelled the Jews from the country. There was no legal justification for this action. They were allowed to sell all movable possessions, but their land and houses were stolen by the king.

bullet 1189: Jews were persecuted in England. The Crown claimed all Jewish possessions. Most of their houses were burned.

1205: Pope Innocent III wrote to the archbishops of Sens and Paris that "the Jews, by their own guilt, are consigned to perpetual servitude because they crucified the Lord...As slaves rejected by God, in whose death they wickedly conspire, they shall by the effect of this very action, recognize themselves as the slaves of those whom Christ's death set free..."

1215: The Fourth Lateran Council approved canon laws requiring that "Jews and Muslims shall wear a special dress." They also had to wear a badge in the form of a ring. This was to enable them to be easily distinguished from Christians. This practice later spread to other countries.

bullet 1227: The Synod of Narbonne required Jews to wear an oval badge. This requirement was reinstalled during the 1930's by Hitler, who changed the oval badge to a Star of David.

bullet 1338: The councilors of Freiburg banned the performance of anti-Jewish scenes from the town's passion play because of the lethal bloody reactions against Jews which followed the performances. 9

bullet 1347 +: The Black Death originated in the Far East. China, Mongolia, India, central Asia, and southern Russia have all been suggested as the source. 10 Mongol invaders brought it to Caffa in the Crimea (modern-day Fedodosiya). Defenders from the city later spread the disease throughout many Mediterranean ports. 11 Rats initially carried the Black Death; their fleas spread the disease from the rats to humans. As the plague worsened, the germs spread from human to human. In five years, the death toll had reached 25 million. In England, two centuries passed before its population levels recovered from the plague. People searched for someone to blame. They noted that a smaller percentage of Jews than Christians caught the disease. This was undoubtedly due to the Jewish sanitary and dietary laws, which had been preserved from Old Testament times. Rumors circulated that Satan was protecting the Jews and that they were paying back the Devil by poisoning wells used by Christians. The solution was to torture, murder and burn the Jews. "In Bavaria...12,000 Jews...perished; in the small town of Erfurt...3,000; Rue Brul©e...2,000 Jews; near Tours, an immense trench was dug, filled with blazing wood and in a single day 160 Jews were burned." 5 In Strausberg 2,000 Jews were burned. In Maintz 6,000 were killed...; in Worms 400..." 3

bullet 1354: 12,000 Jews were executed in Toledo.

bullet 1374: An epidemic of possession broke out in the lower Rhine region of what is now Germany. People were seen "dancing, jumping and [engaging in] wild raving." This was triggered by enthusiastic revels on St. John's Day - an Christianized version of an ancient Pagan seasonal day of celebration which was still observed by the populace. The epidemic spread throughout the Rhine and in much of the Netherlands and Germany. Crowds of 500 or more dancers would be overcome together. Exorcisms were tried, but failed. Pilgrimages to the shrine of St. Vitus were tried, but this only seemed to exacerbate the problem. Finally, the rumor spread that God was angry because Christians had been excessively tolerant towards the Jews. God had cursed Europe as He did Saul when he showed mercy towards God's enemies in the Old Testament. Jews "were plundered, tortured and murdered by tens of thousands." The epidemic finally burned itself out two centuries later, in the late 16th century. 4

bullet 1391 : Jewish persecutions begin in Seville and in 70 other Jewish communities throughout Spain.

bullet 1434: "Jewish men in Augsburg had to sew yellow buttons to their clothes. Across Europe, Jews were forced to wear a long undergarment, an overcoat with a yellow patch, bells and tall pointed yellow hats with a large button on them." 1

bullet 1453 : The Franciscan monk, Capistrano, persuaded the King of Poland to terminate all Jewish civil rights.

bullet 1478: Spanish Jews had been heavily persecuted from the 14th century. Many had converted to Christianity. The Spanish Inquisition was set up by the Church in order to detect insincere conversions. Laws were passed that prohibited the descendants of Jews or Muslims from attending university, joining religious orders, holding public office, or entering any of a long list of professions.

bullet 1492 : Jews were given the choice of being baptized as Christians or be banished from Spain. 300,000 left Spain penniless. Many migrated to Turkey, where they found tolerance among the Muslims. Others converted to Christianity but often continued to practice Judaism in secret.
