Where does all this Hilter was a Christian stuff come from.?

Question

Hitler was trying to found his own religion based in no small part on the Nordic gods. Most clearly not a Christian. So where are you getting your facts when you call Hitler a right wing Christian, or in fact a Christian of any stripe?

Answer 1

Just because you were born to Christian parents, and raised Christian does not mean that you are automatically christian. Christianity is not something that you are born with and never goes away. you must practice it. he did a million things that are the complete opposite of christian beliefs. He used Gods name in his speeches to manipulate people.

hmmmmm, doesnt that sound kind of like our redneck President??

Answer 2

I once found an encyclopedia that was published in the 1930's. About Germany's religion it said that 51% were Lutheran, and 45% Roman Catholic. Hitler himself was raised Christian. Hundreds of thousands of people showed up at his rallies. These people were Christians...just like those in his army and those who ran the concentration camps. Today's Pope Benedict was a member of the Hitler Youth. You can read old newspapers wherein the Christian preachers of the time supported Hitler. After WW2, the Church helped Nazis flee Germany. Now Christians try to distance themselves from Germany and the Holocaust, and re-write history.

Answer 3

Hitler was a Roman Catholic which is the first established Christian religion. St Peter was the first pope and was designated by Jesus. Many other christian denomination try to deny that Catholics are Christians but they believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and the salvation of humanity thus they are Christians. Having said that, Hitler and his closest followers were real weirdos (to say the least) and dabbled in all kind of weird occult matters.

Answer 4

According to Wikipedia, he was a Christian... just not a very good one.

Childhood and youth
Adolf Hitler was brought up in his family's religion by his Roman Catholic parents. According to historian Bradley F. Smith, Hitler's father, though nominally a Catholic, was a freethinker,[1] while his mother was a practising Catholic.[2] According to historian Michael Rissmann young Adolf was influenced in school by Pan-Germanism and Darwinism and began to reject the Church and Catholicism, receiving Confirmation only unwillingly. A boyhood friend reports that after Hitler had left home, he never attended Mass or received the Sacraments.[3] Georg Ritter von Schönerer's writings and the written legacy of his Pan-German Away from Rome! movement, which agitated against the Roman Catholic Church at the end of the 19th century, may have influenced the young Adolf Hitler.[4]

[edit]
Views as an adult

Hitler in a prayer-like position, which he used often, probably to boost his influence with the Christian population of Germany.Hitler's religious beliefs can be gathered from his public and private statements; they present a discrepant picture and some attributed private statements remain disputed.

[edit]
Public statements
In public statements, especially at the beginning of his rule, Hitler frequently spoke positively about the Christian heritage of German culture and his belief in the "Aryan" Christ. In doing so, he used his "ability to simulate, even to potentially critical Church leaders, an image of a leader keen to uphold and protect Christianity.", according to Ian Kershaw. [5] For example, on March 23, 1933, he addressed the Reichstag: "The National Government regards the two Christian confessions (i.e. Catholicism and Protestantism) as factors essential to the soul of the German people. ... We hold the spiritual forces of Christianity to be indispensable elements in the moral uplift of the German people."[6] At one point he described his religious status: "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so."[7] Hitler never ended his church membership, but according to Albert Speer, "he had no real attachment to it."[8]

Mein Kampf displays a more ambivalent attitude. In an attempt to justify Nazi intolerance he recommends Christian militantism and its road to political power as a model for the Nazis in their pursuit of power, while simultaneously lamenting the demise of Paganism,

"The individual may establish with pain today that with the appearance of Christianity the first spiritual terror entered into the far freer ancient world, but he will not be able to contest the fact that since then the world has been afflicted and dominated by this coercion, and that coercion is broken only by coercion, and terror only by terror. Only then can a new state of affairs be constructively created. Political parties are inclined to compromises; philosophies never. Political parties even reckon with opponents; philosophies proclaim their infallibility. "

Answer 5

A few quotes from der Furher:

"I believe today that my conduct is in accordance
with the will of the Almighty Creator."

"The Party, as such, stands for positive Christianity, but does not bind itself in the matter of creed to any particular confession. It combats the Jewish-materialist spirit within and without us, and is convinced that our nation can achieve permanent health from within only on the principle: the common interest before self-interest."

My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter.

For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people....

Answer 6

Well, that stuff comes from history books on the practice of religion in Germany during the rise and fall of Hitler. Hitler and his henchfolks wanted to co opt religion and make him a Christianoid demigod. Kinda like our current trinity: George W, Jerry Fallwell and Pat "killem and steal their oil" Robertson.

But hey guess what i dont see nuthin int the bible bout that kinda work cept bad stuff, JC say to love

Answer 8

The Nazi's wore "God with Us" on their belts.

Hitler's own words..like..

"I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator. By warding off the Jews I am fighting for the Lord's work." [Adolph Hitler, Speech, Reichstag, 1936 - also in Mein Kampf pg.56 1999 edition]


"I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator." [Adolph Hitler, _Mein Kampf_, pp. 46].


"I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so" [Adolph Hitler, to Gen. Gerhard Engel, 1941].


"In nearly all the matters in which the Pan-German movement was wanting, the attitude of the Christian Social Party was correct and well-planned." [Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 3].

"The anti-Semitism of the new movement (Christian Social movement) was based on religious ideas instead of racial knowledge." [Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 3].


Hitler was influenced by the teachings of Martin Luther.

"....the personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew." [Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 11, precisely echoing Martin Luther's teachings].


"I brief, dear princes and lords, those of you who have Jews under your rule-- if my counsel does not please your, find better advice, so that you and we all can be rid of the unbearable, devilish burden of the Jews, lest we become guilty sharers before God in the lies, blasphemy, the defamation, and the curses which the mad Jews indulge in so freely and wantonly against the person of our Lord Jesus Christ, this dear mother, all Christians, all authority, and ourselves. Do not grant them protection, safe-conduct, or communion with us.... With this faithful counsel and warning I wish to cleanse and exonerate my conscience." [Martin Luther,"On the Jews and Their Lies",1543].

"He who hears this name [God] from a Jew must inform the authorities, or else throw sow dung at him when he sees him and chase him away." [Martin Luther,"On the Jews and Their Lies",1543].

The German Freethinkers League, which was swept away by the national revolution, was the largest of such organizations in Germany. It had about 500,000 members ..." [New York Times, May 14, 1993, page 2, on Hitler's outlawing of atheistic and freethinking groups in Germany in the Spring of 1933, after the Enabling Act authorizing Hitler to rule by decree].


I could go on forever with the evidence that Hitler was a Christian.

Answer 9

Try listening to his speeches, where he invokes God regularly. Or try looking at the crosses on Nazi tanks, planes, and uniforms.

BTW, Spot's Fox is an idiot. Catholics are Christians, and have been since about 200 AD. Protestants started splitting from the Church over a thousand years later.

Answer 10

Hitler was born a christian. He also was a meth addict and were most of his army. If you watch the films of him you will begin to notice that he was high during his speeches. His solders marched all night to attack the allied forces, on meth. While on meth he discovered or invented his own religion.
