Wild guesses time: Just how does a lunatic like A. Hitler win an election in a Christian nation?

Question

I'm putting this on R&S because I want _your_ wild guesses, not those of the Y!amsters on the Politics board. So sue me.

For the record, people: Germany was indeed a Christian nation. Still is, in fact. They call themselves Christian, they practice several flavors of Christianity, that makes them Christian. To those of you who question their Christianity, I would suggest that not being American does not disqualify them from being Christian. It's not their fault that a single label is used for some 30,000 diffrent denominations.

Answer 1

Maybe the same way George W Bush did, by using fear. Do you honestly think the labor states in this country would have elected him if he had not used the gay marriage card? People are sheep.

Answer 2

There are several systems to improve rapidly and naturally vision.
To know how to do that you can discover here a compelte technique focused around researches done by some researcher, for a shabby price: ( http://improve-vision.kyma.info )

I can provide for you simply a few tips however I recommend to give a look to the technique that i posted above...for illustration you can take more sustenance that holds vitamin A, for example, carrots may help to naturally improve your vision. We can likewise dependably do exercises. There are exercises, for example, rolling your eyeball to form an undetectable square that are constantly recommended by the doctors to improve one's vision. I don't think about rapidly as there is no quick approach to reach one's objective. Vegetarians can help to improve one's vision. I accept it in light of the fact that I am a vegetarian and my eye short-sightedness power remains the same without any increase after around 2 years. The doctor was stunned in light of the fact that teenagers at my years will normally have a most increase since we are continually staring at the TV, playing computers furthermore reading. I don't know whether it is completely true or not yet it does influence a bit on the result. At any rate i propose to check the connection that I posted.

Answer 3

Because Hitler was cut by Jews as a boy and developed a deep hatred for them and some Catholics who took up circumcision. Most Christians are for baptism instead of circumcision, so Hitler was chosen as a sign of defiance to eugenics by neonatal circumcision. Hitler developed circumcision induced paranoid delusional schizophrenia and took out his subconscious desire to stop circumcision the best way his mind could think of. An eye for an eye, a child for a child. What goes around, comes around. Holocausting, or culling out the offenders. I think it will happen again as the prepucectomists are at it again spreading false statements to urge circumcision of infants.
It was a sign from Mother Nature to stop neonatal circumcision. Too bad She has no voice of Her own like the men who claim to hear the voices of god the father.

Answer 4

he was not viewed as a lunatic at the time of election. germany was going through some tough times socially and economically and he made promises to the people to change these things. The same question will be asked about bush in 50 years too.

Answer 5

Beacuse the Christian churches in Germany openly supported the Nazi state! To this day, elderly Germans will tell you that when they were children during the '30's and '40's, they were told in Sunday school to pray for the fuhrer, and that the swastika flag was flown in front of the the churches and schools. Franz von Papen was in control of a religious/political agenda group called Catholic Action at the time; in exchange for his support of Hitler, he was appointed vice-chancellor. Von Papen took a delegation of Nazi envoys to the Vatican, and on July 20, 1933, they signed a concordat (peace alliance) with Pope Pius XI and Cardinal Pacelli, who later became Pope Pius XII. There are famous photographs of Hitler and Pius XII shaking hands, and of the Cardinals giving the Nazi salute. On Hitler's birthday in 1938, Cardinal Initzer ordered all Austrian churches to fly the swastika, ring their bells, and pray for ther fuhrer. On December 7, 1941, in celebration of their ally's attack on Pearl Harbor, the Conference of German Bishops assembled in Fulda to offer a special war prayer for the safety and success of the German armed forces.

Answer 6

Hitler was able to come to power because Germany was in a big depression and burdened by war debts. Religion doesn't put much food on the table.

Answer 7

Because he appealed to the middle classes who were suffering in a country with spiralling inflation. He blamed immigrants for Germany's financial problems. Blaming immigrants/incomers for a nation's problems is a common political tactic.

Answer 8

Germany may have claimed to be "a Christian" nation but not everyone or every nation who claims to be are. And I hope you're not insinuating that Pres. Bush is a Hitler.

Answer 9

1 Late 1930s Germany was not entirely Christian.
2 Not all Christians agreed with his policies (some of them ended up in the camps).
3 The elections were rigged, anyway.
4 The Nazi party officially un-Christianised itself and allowed nazis to believe or not believe in a Christian or pagan God. "Believer in God" was the official term.
5 Put your question anywhere you like as plenty of us are not confined to merely one area of knowledge.

Answer 10

Should we ask this, how lunatic were the people who believe in him. He was psychotic but a genius, As were David koresh, Jim Jones, Saddam Hussein and many others to have people bowing at their feet. Preach to a fallen nation/people what they want to hear, give them what they need (jobs, food, money, hope, faith) and you my friend will fall right in that category as well.

Answer 11

well hello ms. Christian-hater, so when did you stop kicking your dog in the chops every day after dinner?

what a presumptuous question...go read about the history of Germany and its feeling like a failure after WWI and needing to blame another group, Hitler fed into that
