This all sounds very silly to me. Isn't this just a case of whataboutery?I'm trying to get through the Mao and Pol Pot thread but the notion that Hitler represents over 2 billion people is stupid.

No, they strike me as equivalent because in both cases theBoth the insistence that Hitler is to Christianity as Pol Pot or Mao is to atheism are false equivalencies.
No I mean the false equivalency beingNo, they strike me as equivalent because in both cases the
religious orientation doesn't determine their governing style.
"False equivalency" is so over-mis-used.
No I mean the false equivalency being
"Hitler/Mao/Pol Pot was Christian/Atheist therefore other Christians/Atheists are like Hitler/Mao/Pol Pot."
OKNo I mean the false equivalency being
"Hitler/Mao/Pol Pot was Christian/Atheist therefore other Christians/Atheists are like Hitler/Mao/Pol Pot."
... and both Hitler and Stalin had heavy formal doses of establishment Christianity. What that has to do with facial hair is unclear.
Hitler was a catholic leader of a mainly protestant country. His actions, writing and speeches indicate he was a religious person who believed he had god on his side. But the guy was a total nut job with outward signs of psychosis or schizophrenia, paranoia and probably pathological narcissism, who would believe a anything that made him feel superior.
Whether he represents christianity, his actions were more akin to old testament rather than the christian new testament
The people he murdered followed the Old Testament...
Yup many did, but he did not only murder Jews.
I dont see any genocides or mass murders or land grabs and war in the NT
Hitler suffered from PTSD and was on both cocaine and opiods
You can't blame the Old Testament on Hitler killing Jews when they also believe in the Old Testament and not the New Testament.
Hitler was literally inbred and suffered from PTSD. He also took cocaine and heroin.

Are you implying that he wasn't a celebrity among the Protestants? Fact is, Christianity in Germany during the Third Reich was predominantly Protestant. Typically its membership was twice that of Catholics.I would have to agree with you.
Hitler was certainly a celebrity with the Catholics of his time, but by no means was he a representative of the entire church (let alone all of Christianity).
