Look it up in any encyclopedia. Those Christian anti-Semites were guards in the concentration camps. The Christians fought in the Nazi army. Ministers and priests of the time supported Hitler in books and newspaper articles that exist to this day. Pope Benedict was a member ot the Hitler Youth. Because Germany lost, Christians have tried to distance themselves from what they did.

Yes it's true, from what I understand they killed the Jewish in retaliation for killing Christ. It goes back to when Pilot presented Jesus to the Jewish crowd and they all condemned him saying that his blood be on them and generations after (per the Bible). However, the Massacre was obviously not justifiable and most Christians regret it.

Not everybody who claims or is accorded the name of Christ is Christian. When Christianity was named the religion of the Roman Empire their was not one more Christian the day after the edict than there was the day before.
Demonic forces operate in the name of Christianity just like they do in all other religions; for the devil is a religious spirit.
The very hand of hatred against the Jews did not destroy them but actually opened their way back to the Holy Land.
The point you miss is that the spirit of the Third Reich was a sister to the spirit of Rome, not to Christianity. The spirit of Rome is always around Christianity and even operates under its name.
Religions and nations, along with their leaders are nothing but pawns in the end game that is underway now.

It was pagan.
All of the NAZI symbols and trappings were of pagan and superstitious origins.
Pope Benedict was a member of the Hitler Youth because he was a young boy in Nazi Germany. What choice did he have? His father was a policeman before the Nazis came to power and he had to move and change jobs a lot in Bavaria because they were a devout Catholic Family who did not agree with or participate in the Nazi Party.
There were Catholic Priests and nuns, as well as Jews, locked away in concentration camps. Father Maximilion Kolby volunteered to take the place of a young man with a family who had been chosen as one of a group to be executed in response to a prison break. The Nazis accepted his offer to take the place of another, and was killed.
To be a Christian organization, they showed little pity and mercy on other Christians.
Maybe I misunderstood what you are saying. Are you implying that 97% of the ruling Nazi Party was Christian....or that 97% of the average citizenry, such as Josef Ratzinger's modest middle class family? There may have been a fair number of Christians in Germany during WWII, also with no power to do anything. Did you ever see Schindler's List?

hmmmm, what a silly argument, 97% Germany were not guards in the camps. The SS men generally didn't have a religion or had a neo pagan one, or just a generalized one. The camps were a secret because Hitler knew that it would be too much for the German people to accept. You need tyo lookk how many chritian priests and minister were exterminated becuse they opposed hitler.
of course he was a member , you seem to infer he had a choice, the Hitler youth was not like the boy scouts , it was compulsory
you are weak in history and logic, you seem to be slandering chritians by selecting facts and not doing any research to understand what happened

Perhaps you refer to the fact that all Germans, regardless of personal belief, were officially members of the state church of Germany? A person had to go through a lot of red tape to be taken off this list and most people didn't want the hassle.

Mao killed about 60 million people.
And Mao was?
That's right, an anti-religious atheist.
We are *all* capable of brutality. And the clearest way toward brutality is to alienate a group of people.
Just like you try to do.

You mean they called themselves Christians. Many people call themselves this just because they believe in God and Jesus. It takes more than that to be a TRUE Christian, remember Jesus said that many will say they did things in His name and He will say to some, "I never knew you."
