My son keeps on saying that Hitler is just like God by the amountof people that he had killed. How do I answer

Answer 1

Do you know of a "god"??????? When was he around?????
MAYBE you could START by explaining that Hitler was a human and god is not understood. I am sick of saying this: All we know of god is that it is a three letter word. How do you want to answer him? He is your son. What is with all the thumbs down? Either there is alot of dolly dimple nazis on line or a lot of people who blame god for all their woes. Get a grip.

Answer 2

By bringing this issue to the spiritual platform everything becomes clear.

First what is the difference between body and soul? Are we the body or the soul?

Here is a quote from a famous quantum physicist, Niels Bohr:

“We can admittedly find nothing in physics or chemistry that has even a remote bearing on consciousness. Yet all of us know that there is such a thing as consciousness, simply because we have it ourselves. Hence consciousness must be a part of nature, or more generally, of reality, which means that, quite apart from the law of physics and chemistry, as laid down by quantum theory, we must also consider laws of quite a different nature (ie. antimatter).”


The difference between matter and spiritual is that objects made of matter are temporarily manifest and transformable, whereas objects made of antimatter (spiritual energy) are eternal and indestructable.

When we understand that we are antimaterial spiritual beings (a soul within a body), and not these temporary material bodeis, then the entire question of "who killed XYZ" becomes moot (or irrelevant).

The plain fact is that no one has ever truly killed anyone, not Hitler or God. The soul can never be killed. We are truly eternal beings.

For the soul there is no birth or death. Never was there a time we did not exist and never will there be a time we will cease to be.

At the same time, we don't have the right to deprive anyone of their material body, no matter how temporal it is. The human form of life is a unique opportunity for spiritual development. That Hitler or anyone else would disrupt people from their spiritual development is proof that he was not God, but rather a social menace lacking mercy.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Remember that he is young, and young people only know war as it is fed to them on television. Playing with toy guns and tanks is fine, but I'd also suggest a more personal history lesson for your son. Have him read the diary of Anne Frank, or read it to him. There is also a new movie out that is extremely illuminating. In fact the movie is called 'Everything is illuminated'. It is about a young man who explores the past: his grandfather's time in the concentration camps.

Answer 4

That's completely untrue! Pretending for a moment that god is real, he has killed WAY more people than Hitler ever did. He created death, as a matter of fact. Making EVERY death, and all pain, and all suffering his responsibility. Luckily, this can all be reconciled by the fact that there is no god to blame.

Answer 5

By telling him that Hitler only wishes he were as successful as god at slaughter.

Remember God killed every single living thing on earth except that one boatload. Remember? Hitler never got close to that.

God killed every first-born male in Egypt "that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel". Hitler was a pansy!

Answer 6

Tell him well done for figuring out something the christians like to ignore. He is a bright child who has seen something very logical. I too came to a similar conclusion at a young age about things that made no sense about the church.

Answer 7

How arrogant we are to think that God is unjust for unmaking that which he created? actually, god condemned every human in existence to mortal death:

Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin are death..."

Hitler was human, producing sin just like you and me. unlike hitler, god produces fair judgement, and god's grace is so great that even though we are condemned to die by our sins, god provided us with a path for a second, everlasting life.

"...but the gift of god is eternal life through jesus christ our lord."

hitler tried to annhiliate an entire race. god gives us salvation throgh christ.

so, ask your son this: hitler died at the hands of his own sins, God condemned him to die, is this not just?

Answer 8

Sounds like you son equates murder with holiness, and you cannot tell him the difference.

How old is this kid, he sounds like either a child in which case I would give him a simple answer and ignore him, this question is a rathole of idiotic discussion which kids love to manipulate adults with.

If you son is not a kid, then you have someone with mental problems who sounds like they are warped and needs some help.

Answer 9

Tell him that God has killed know one. God does not force people to do things. He gave use the power of free will so we can choose what we want to do. God can offer use guidence but he will not force.

Also tell you son that you find this disrespecfull (that is if you do) and to please no say that in frong of you.


EDIT:

I have just receved a meggage from another yahoo user, and after reading it, I am afraid that God has killed people. The whole thing with Noahs ark....and some more things. God did have people best intenchions at heart (I think)...so I don't really know what to tell you..

Answer 10

Hitler was a nutter.
