How can one say Hitler was a Christian?

Question

He was raised Catholic, yes, but abandoned the faith like many Western atheists. Listen to these quotes from Secret Conversation with Hitler.
"One can be a German or a Christian not both"
"Christianity is an invention of the Jew" (probably not a compliment)
"THe ultimate goal is to replace every cross with a swastika and every Bible with a Mein Kampf"
He had an odd way of showing his faith i guess. Not to mention slaughtering the Christian God's chosen people (Jews) and oppressing the devout Christians.

Answer 1

He wasnt, and I hate when people say that he killed people in the name of christianity, because he didnt. He was a freak, yes, but not because he believed GOd wanted him too.

Answer 2

I'd like to have the pleasure of saying you are a complete moron. These "Secret Conversations" have been proven to contradict just about everything Hitler has ever truly stood for, and are merely pieces of war propaganda. Hitler promoted Christianity in the Third Reich, however many of his followers, including him took up a little something called Positive Christianity, which is, in it's entirety, an altered form of Christianity which just doesn't have quite enough alterations to make it a different religion. Just go to bed, wake up later on, and take a long walk. Once you come back try not to bring up ridiculous questions like this. Please? We have enough revisionists as it is.

Answer 3

Whether he was raised a Catholic or not does not make him a Christian, any more than being born in a stable makes you a horse. This is a vast misunderstanding many people have about Christianity.

Many people who are born in a Christian country, attend a Christian church, do things Christians do yet they are not Christian, they are not saved, born again believers, just possibly religious people, or not at all as the case may be, but because of the thought process of the world they are labelled Christian.

The Bible tells us 'by their fruits shall you know them' no matter what anyone may or may not call themselves ultimately their actions will show forth their true nature.

As Christians we are warned against judging people, but we are also told to watch out for false Christians and so on using scripture as our guide, so if I had to express an opinion based on what I know of Hitler, according to scripture he was not a Christian.

Answer 4

Your fabricate quotes do not change the truth. Hitler was a Christian (who believed Christ was Aryan).

1. He believed in Heaven, Hell, a supreme being who created the universe, Jesus Christ, life after death, special creation, original sin, expulsion from paradise, and divine judgement.
2. He drew his inspiration from the Viennese Christian Social movement, and he expressed nothing but admiration for its founder.
3. He believed that Jesus Christ was an Aryan, not a Jew. In fact, he claimed that Jesus "made no secret of his attitude toward the Jewish people, and when necessary he even took the whip to drive from the temple of the Lord this adversary of all humanity".
4. He used the term "human" to describe only Aryans. He described blacks, Jews, and (presumably) other non-Aryan races as a disease, or as lower animals (notice that he described Jews as an "adversary of all humanity", thus clearly describing them as something other than humans).
5. He thought that interracial marriage would produce "monstrosities halfway between man and ape" and should be fought with religious fervor. This makes his beliefs on evolution and creation very clear; he thought that Aryans were created in God's own image, while all other races evolved from apes. This should come as no surprise; not only was this an overwhelmingly common belief during the age of European imperialism which lasted right up to the end of the 19th century, but it persists to this day (a lot of white supremacists still refer to blacks as "monkeys"). In his view, it was therefore an unnatural and unholy dilution of God's image for Aryans and non-Aryans to mate.
6. He believed that Germany lost World War I because it turned its back on God, much as Israel was repeatedly humiliated and defeated whenever it turned away from God in the Old Testament.

Answer 5

I agree with you I think Hitler like so many people distorted the bible to suit there own needs.

Go to www.rotten.com to read a little more on Hitler, you might just find something very insightful. Go to the rotten history Library. If you don't like gross things don't look at the pictures.

You don't have to worry as to how much he is suffering in hell because the Catholic faith condemns suicide and says that you will go to hell if you commit suicide.

Answer 6

There is no question that Hitler was a Nazi. Nazism was clearly his most important religious affiliation, not in the positive way the word "religion" is often defined, but in the general sense that any philosophy or belief system which is most important in a person's life is that person's "religion," regardless of whether or not it is universally labelled as a "religion." Hitler was also born into a Catholic family, but he specifically rejected Catholicism and he rejected Christianity in general.

Answer 7

Hitler was not a Christian. He threw Christians in jail. He believed in evolution, which he felt justified his theories of the master race.

Answer 8

being Catholic doesn't automaically make one a Christian. His behavior makes it quite obvious that he was not a Christian.

Answer 9

There is no way Hitler was a Christian. Like the jewish elite, he did not own his shadow side and saw the evil in others. When you do not own your own shadow, and see yourself as a sinner, you will see others as inferior and ugly. Hitler hated himself and others. But he came from an unfortunate background. His father used to beat his mother and little hitler would defend his mother. He needed serious psychotherapy, but the problem is, one can only really heal if one is willing. i feel compassion for hitler though, but if i were in the position of power, i would have locked him away for life. War is never right.

Answer 10

It's a fallacy to claim that because X evil person held Y ideology, Y ideology is therefore evil.

It works both ways.

Answer 11

nazism was a way of life in itself....it had certain beliefs that you had 2 conform to in order to follow their system......this is also the same nowadays with democracy....it is a man made system that is taking over religion
