How can slaughtering millions of people be natural?

Question

This a statement made by Adolf Hitler: 14th October, 1941, midday:


The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death
can someone PLEASE tell me why anyone would think slaughtering millions of people be natural?

Answer 1

God is All-That-Is. How can one judge God? Only the ego judges something to be "good" or "bad."

Answer 2

I'm confused. You are saying that Hitler said, "The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death"

Then you speak of the slaughter of millions. Hitler did that, O.K., but not with Christians as a specified target. Most Germans were Christian, and his best ally was Christian Italy. In religious terms, Hitler targeted Jews

Of course Christians died in the millions, but as a part of his aggression against other nations rather than as a part of any specifically anti-Christian pogrom.

To say that Hitler was a Christian because he was born a Christian is utter nonsense. If he had any religion at all, it was Teutonic paganism. He loved the symbols (one of which was the swastica) of the Teutonic gods, and he modified Teutonic rituals into SS ceremonies. He avoided churches and church leaders like the plague; and he surrounded himself with soothsayers and astrologers.

And finally, he employed every science (like Darwin) that he thought provided some basis for him to prove the superiorty of the Aryan race.

Would the Hitler Youth offend the Fuerher? Then listen to one of the marching songs often used when putting on a demonstration for their leader:

We follow not Christ, but Horst Wessel,
Away with incense and Holy Water,
The Church can go hang for all we care,
The Swastika brings salvation on Earth.

Answer 3

Adolf Hitler was an evil man. He said many evil things in order to carry out his mission. Very little of what his said was true or right.

There is nothing natural about what he did. Death is natural, murder is not.

Hitler was also a very sick man. He hated Jews because his grandmother was either raped by a Jewish man, or had an affair with one, resulting in pregnancy. He develped an obsession with Jews being evil. He then decided to punish ALL Jews for the supposed evil of one man.

As hard as it is to do, in reality we should all be praying for the soul of this evil, tortured man. He made the choice to do evil instead of good. Only through our prayers can he be retrieved from the fires of Hell.

Though the Germans during HItler's time hid their sins behind religion, convincing themselves that God was on their side, Hitler himself did not practice the faith of his childhood. (Obviously!) He had no respect for any religion, thinking religion to make people weak.

Some today have the nerve to say the Halocaust never happened. They are refusing to admit the truth. It happened. There are still those alive who lived through it. Their stories can turn your blood to ice.

Christianity will not die as long as this earth survives.

Answer 4

Hitler wasn't talking about slaughtering Christians; he was talking about Christianity destroying itself from within by means of discord and malcontent. He slaughtered millions of Jews for several maniacal reasons, but when he saw how the world was divided over the Holocaust as it pertained to human and religious rights, he figured that Christianity in time wouldn't be able to stand on it's own, that people would spend more time arguing than healing and therefore die out like the Old Roman Empire.

Answer 5

Hitler did not target Christians. He targetted all non-christians.

You really can't put to much into Hitler's public statements, as he was a master propogandist. If he was talking to Christians, then Christianity was the greatest thing ever. If he was talking to atheists, then all religions sucked. If you want to know his real position, you have to look at what he actually did, read his private letters (more likely to be forthright than public speeches), and read what people who were close to him wrote about him.

Answer 6

Christians just don't want to accept Hitler as a Christan. He was.

The quote above is not talking about people by the way, although that is obvious.

Answer 7

What makes you think "natural death" means slaughter?

The vast majority of us will eventually meet our maker via "natural death."

I think that Hitler's intent was, rather than slaughter everyone as he was doing the Jews, to let Christianity burn out. He figured as his Athiest regime grew, that people would abandon their faith to be part of his "religion" and thus Christianity would die out.

Answer 8

Its like the Frrech atheist who said in 100 years Christianity would be in the mourge... well... he was in the mourge and Chrisitantity goes on

Its natural in the sense of fallen human nature to deny the truth and so Adoph was given over to natural sin in denying truth, oposing God and unloving unmerciful bruthish acts

Answer 9

not natural at all they are seeds of ''prince of the darkeness '' responsible of all abominations and all that. i was still to come up with few verses in ''ezekiel 9:4-6 he saw what happend in spiritual view . '' . 2 chronicles 36:17 the writer saw the action of the spirits of war and death materialisticly.

Answer 10

Only Hitler could have answered this question.
Now I advise you to ask, GW Bush, is much worse than Hitler, he might star a nuclear war very soon

Answer 11

It is for Satan, and it would be for his followers. Hitler was a spiritualist, and they traffic in demons and devils, even if they themselves do not believe it, and think that they are talking to the dead. NO THEY ARE NOT Ecc 9:5, for starters.
