Many people quote Hitler from the 1920-30's when he was trying to appease the Catholic Church for power but the truth is Hitler hated Religion & Christians. He said on December 13 1941 "Christianity is an invention of sick brains!
Who does that sound like? He also said on Oct 14 1941 "So it's not opportune to hurl ourselves nor into a struggle with the church. The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death..Love Adolf! The murderous Hitler was no Christian..in fact was very involved in the occult and it's whacky belief systems. Their are hundreds of quotes from Hilter in the early 1940's for his hate of Christians and the church.
What's your views on Hitler's

You may pick and choose Hitler's quotes, and disregard his quotes in the 1920's as trying to obtain power. That is not the point.
The point is he used religion to gain power - that is undenyable. Do you honestly think Mr. George Bush is a sincere Christian? Jack Abremoff a sincere Jew? Osama Bin Ladin a sincere Muslim? If so, then you are disregarding your own methodology - that people use religion to manipulate and gain power for other agenda's - their true beliefs are irrelevant. It's what they articulate, and how the use religion that most disgusting - and this is most certainly what Hitler did, as well as Bush, Abremoff, and Bin Ladin, and pretty much most outspoken advocates of organized religion. Key word: organize. Not just in structure and canonization, but to organize a group of people together, for specific purposes and agendas.

Jim Jones (of the Jonestown mass suicide fame) was made out to be a Christian too.
But to answer your ??, I think Hitler was a genius. Yes, a sick and twisted one with an evil heart. But a genius nonetheless. He had very deep thoughts and strong leadership qualities. The world may have been a very different place had he used his genius in a better way.

He wasn't occult and probably not Christian, but he was part of some form of theism (I forget which). It's not just the quotes that lead people to think of him as Christian. The Vatican was aware of his actions and didn't do anything about it. He was never excommunicated from the church. The Vatican also gave him some power over decisions made in the church.

Just because you are christian doesnt mean you are a good person. So what if he was or was not christian, it means nothing because he did not follow the bible.

Did you just say he should be burned alive scorpio? lol. You are just as sick as him if you think that. That is the exact type of thing he did and stems from a lack of compassion.

Yeah its so funny that his book "Mein kampf", contains the quote:
“The folkish-minded man, in particular, has the sacred duty, each in his own denomination, of making people stop just talking superficially of God's will, and actually fulfill God's will, and not let God's word be desecrated. For God's will gave men their form, their essence and their abilities. Anyone who destroys His work is declaring war on the Lord's creation, the divine will.”
( Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Ralph Mannheim, ed., New York: Mariner Books, 1999, p. 562. )
I'm sure he was just joking around when Hitler wrote:
"“Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.”
( Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Ralph Mannheim, ed., New York: Mariner Books, 1999, p. 65. )"
He was SUCH a practical joker that in his Munich speech he said:
"“My feeling 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 against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before 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 as a man I have the duty to see to it that human society does not suffer the same catastrophic collapse as did the civilization of the ancient world some two thousand years ago — a civilization which was driven to its ruin through this same Jewish people.
“Then indeed when Rome collapsed there were endless streams of new German bands flowing into the Empire from the North; but, if Germany collapses today, who is there to come after us? German blood upon this earth is on the way to gradual exhaustion unless we pull ourselves together and make ourselves free!
“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. And when I look on my people I see them work and work and toil and labor, and at the end of the week they have only for their wages wretchedness and misery. 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 today this poor people are plundered and exploited.”
( Adolf Hitler, in a speech delivered at Munich, April 12, 1922; from Norman H. Baynes, ed., The Speeches of Adolf Hitler: April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1, New York: Oxford University Press, 1942, pp. 19-20. )

You could say the same thing about Bush! That's your point right? Because Bush says he's a Christain, but his policies go against the teachings of Christ. Wow, Indiana Jones I think that today you really have taught us all something. Thanks!
