Why do nincompoops say the Christians gassed the Jews?

Question

Was Hitler a christian? No, he wasn't. He did not even attend church.

What Hitler did is very similar to the muhammad of islam. He hated the Jews.

Answer 1

You are right torchbearer. Hitler was the devil incarnate. The Jews are God's chosen people. If you bless the Jews you will be blessed. If you curse the Jews you will be cursed. Don't take my word for it. Look at history.

Answer 2

He was raised with some church attendence but he turned satanic. The following are some quotes

After four years in Vienna, Hitler left and went to Munich. There he got involved with others who were dedicated to the pursuit of occult powers. That brings me to a little known fact. The original members of the Nazis (National Socialist Party) were hard-core satanists. It was the Nazis who led a willing Hitler into deeper levels of occult involvement. In fact, Dietrich Eckart, an occultist of the highest degree, and a practitioner of black magic, bragged before he died, "I have initiated him (Hitler) into the 'Secret Doctrine,' opened his centers in vision and given him the means of communication with the Powers...I shall have influenced history more than any other German." (Ravenscroft, p.91).

Here are some more Quotes

Actually, he rejected Christianity. Read the Book, "Hitler's Secret Conversations 1941-1944." Here are his quotes from the book:

Night of 11th-12th July, 1941:


National Socialism and religion cannot exist together.... The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. The deliberate lie in the matter of religion was introduced into the world by Christianity.... Let it not be said that Christianity brought man the life of the soul, for that evolution was in the natural order of things. (p 6 & 7)

10th October, 1941, midday:


Christianity is a rebellion against natural law, a protest against nature. Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the systematic cultivation of the human failure. (p 43)

14th October, 1941, midday:


The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death.... When understanding of the universe has become widespread... Christian doctrine will be convicted of absurdity.... Christianity has reached the peak of absurdity.... And that's why someday its structure will collapse.... ...the only way to get rid of Christianity is to allow it to die little by little.... Christianity the liar.... We'll see to it that the Churches cannot spread abroad teachings in conflict with the interests of the State. (p 49-52)

Answer 3

Hitler claimed to be Catholic, and the secular media will tell you that, but he's not. He was in direct conflict with Pope Pious XII, who Israel called a righteous gentile because he saved more Jews than just about anybody.
He also killed lots of priests and religious, such as Maximilian Kolbe. Pope John Paul II was know as uncle Karol at the time so he wouldn't be sent to a concentration camp.
Actually Hitler got his spiritual direction from a mufti named Amin Al Husseini.

Answer 4

Hitler, and at least some of his henchmen, were nominally Christians, even though what they practiced hardly comports with Christian teaching. Religion is responsible for much of the world's past and present ills, but it is a stretch to attribute Hitler's persecution of the Jews to religion -- it was much more similar to the sort of ethnic warfare that has been going in in Africa (Darfur, for instance).

Answer 5

Hello =)

Most of the people who ran the Concentration camps were German Lutheran, or German Catholic. They used gas. Hence, Christians gassed the Jews, and a lot of other people...

Muhammed (PBUH) did not hate jews....he venerated them at least 100 times in the Q'uran as "people of the book" and instructed that they should be protected.

Modern Muslims dislike the nation of Israel. Islam does not dislike Judaism.

Do some reading, my friend.....

Namaste,

Answer 6

who cares what religion hitler was? he was just one screwed up man. the real issue is the lack of a problem so many of the innocent, normal europeans had with what hitler was doing to the jews. hitler is not the one who turned their jewish neighbors who were in hiding over to the nazis, or who stoned them on the streets, or who actually led all the jews (and non-jews) into the gas chambers.

Answer 7

I vividly remember a high school conversation with a friend I'd known since we were eight. I'd pointed out that Hitler was essentially a pagan, not a Christian, but my friend absolutely refused to believe it. No matter how much evidence I presented, he kept insisting that Nazi Germany was an extension of Christianity, acting out its age-old vendetta against the Jews. Not that he spoke from any personal study of the subject; he just knew. He'd heard it so many times it'd become an article of faith - one of those things "everyone knows."... Well, sometimes myths die hard. But this one took a hit in early January, at the hands of one Julie Seltzer Mandel, a Jewish law student at Rutgers whose grandmother survived internment at Auschwitz.
A couple of years ago Mandel read through 148 bound volumes of papers gathered by the American OSS (the World War II-era predecessor of the CIA) to build the case against Nazi leaders on trial at Nuremberg. Now she and some fellow students are publishing what they found in the journal Law and Religion (www.lawandreligion.com)... The upshot: a ton of evidence that Hitler sought to wipe out Christianity just as surely as he sought to wipe out the Jews.

The first installment (the papers are being published in stages) includes a 108-page OSS outline, "The Persecution of the Christian Churches." ...how the Nazis - faced with a country where the overwhelming majority considered themselves Christians - built their power while plotting to undermine and eradicate the churches, and the people's faith... From the start of the Nazi movement, "the destruction of Christianity was explicitly recognized as a purpose of the National Socialist movement," said Baldur von Scvhirach, leader of the group that would come to be known as Hitler youth. But "explicitly" only within party ranks: as the OSS stated, "considerations of expedience made it impossible" for the movement to make this public until it consolidated power... By 1937, Pope Pius XI denounced the Nazis for waging "a war of extermination" against the church... Catholic priests found police snatching sermons out of their hands, often in mid-reading

...the notion that the church either gave birth to Hitler or walked hand-in-hand with him as a partner is, simply, slander. Hitler himself knew better. "One is either a Christian or a German," he said. "You can't be both."

Answer 8

well maybe hitler wasn't a hugely practicing catholic, but during a time called the spanish inquisition, they christians tortured and attatcked the jews to get them to convert, no religious group is as perfect as the follower would like it to be, the simple truth is that humans are horrible horrible creatures bent on their own destruction

Answer 9

In what way did Muhammad hate the Jews?

Answer 10

I thought Hitler just hated Jews and anyone who wasn't 'perfect' in his terms (blonde & blue eyed). I didn't really think religion had to do with anything, except if you were Jewish, then that just sucked.
