If you could go back to 1939 when Hitler was about to start his reign of sin?

Question

How would you react to his wrongful twisting of Christianty?
Would Hilter's words/ religious oppression be tolerated?
Could the World community have stopped Hitler?

Can we not learn from histories and apply to the present?

Answer 1

An interesting sidenote -- it was a democracy that elected Hitler! What does that say about man's inhumanity to man?

It's happening again, right now, TODAY, on our watch in Darfur, Sudan. What will you do???? Please call the President's comment line (202 456-1111) and ask him to pressure Sudan to admit the U.N. peacekeeping forces!!!!

Answer 2

How would I react? Probably the same way any person would have acted. Kick up a fuss and you'll find yourself looking out from the other side of barbed wire.
I have no doubt my outlook would differ from today however unless in those shoes it's difficult to say WHAT one would do.
The world probably could have stopped him very easily. Remember..no one wanted a war again. Especially since in alittle over 20 years from the last one all of Europe was bled white of it's male youth. The Brits wanted no trouble. The US...forget it...we wanted to remain an isolationist nation. France..well.....lets not even discuss those guys. So...the cards were all set up to fall just the right way. The topper was the American Depression. That trashed the entire German economy. So...with all the in fighting in the country and a man like Hitler comes along and tells you that he can employ you again and provide food for your family it's no wonder the Germans flocked to him. By the time they saw the light it was entirely too damn late.

Answer 3

I was there, but was too little to say much. Sad thing is that many people buy into whatever is repeated the most often in the loudest tone of voice. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Advertisers and heads of state all know and use this. "Kinder, kirk, and kuche" ( children, church, and cooking/stay at home mommies) was one of Hitler's rallying cries, and its still effective in 2006. " Other people" are the evil ones, and fear motivates folks to sometimes mindless action. We haven't learned a thing in the past 67 years. However the weapons have gotten much more deadly and the stakes have gotten a lot higher. Then it was Germany; now its the world.

Answer 4

Hitler didn't murder 20 million people a whole country did, Blaming Hitler is ridiculous an entire country of people listened to Hitler agreed with Hitler and did what Hitler asked them to do, blaming Hitler masks the real Evil. The real Evil is that they did it. You want to trace evil, trace it to WW 1 when a few rich people decided to kill millions and then after they won there war to opress more poor in the colonies the war was a about. they planted the seeds nurtured the seed of hopelessness created such poverty that an entire country turned into animals.
we didn't learn from history we made more in the middle east, make people cold damp hungry they will do anything and when someone comes along with someone to blame for the flies on there kids . they will strap bombs on themselves for that man.

Answer 5

There's more evidence in the Bible to support the idea that Hitler was doing the work of God than there is that he was having a "reign of sin".

I'm not going to write a long drawn out post about this, but there is more scripture in both the O.T. and the N.T. that suggest that Hitler was nothing more than a tool of your twisted, backwater diety than there is to support any other religious based commentary on his role in history.

If there is anything to be learned from the Holocaust, it is that religion itself is evil, and should not be tolerated.

Answer 6

Hitler was a follower of the occult and admitted to a dark presence in his room at night that he thought was Lucifer. He did not twist Christianity but attempted to replace it completely which he hoped would happen in a generation's time because he knew he could not remove it by force, so he replaced the Christian festivals with pagan rune /nature festivals, had orgies in his "temples" and freely conducted seances, tarot and psychic readings with Joseph Goebbels and company. He was particularly fascinated with the lance (head) that was used to spear the side of Jesus and coveted it for its great "power". The crowning of his efforts was to replace the Ten commandments with twelve of his own, among which respect for the Fuehrer was one of the commandment, designed in mind to elevate himself to god-status. He was in fact a forerunner of the antichrist in the Boook of Revelations (an indication on a world-wide scale of a greater antichrist in the near future)

Answer 7

Germany was in a rut, and Hitler promisted hope. The ground is no longer fertile for Hitler, so his plan would likely fail from the start.

Answer 8

If he's stopped, then nothing is learned, and you look like a crazy person.

It's real easy to say yes, but then it would have just happened somewhere else anyways, so what would have been the point.

Answer 9

One caveat though - it is easy to look back and speak brave and wise words about the past.

History is an altogether different event when you are stuck in the making of it!

Answer 10

i wouldnt change anything because it would alter the future, but i do think it was terribly terribly wrong..... and i think if we want to we can learn from the past and make the future a better place
