How many people realize that the real goal of the Nazis was to revive Teutonic Paganism?

Question

Karl Stern, a German Jew who became Catholic, who wrote Pillar of Fire,said he talked with a young Nazi in Germany before WWII. He said the Nazis wanted to get rid of the Jews as they felt they were a witness to Christianity. He said the Nazis felt that the strange desert religion, Christianity, that taught love and forgiveness had emasculated the Teutonic people.
Ludendorf, Hindenburg's adjutant during WWI, became a Nazi. He and his following lit fires and sacrificed to the Teutonic Gods.
The operas of Richard Wagner glorified Germany's Teutonic past and reveled in the sacrifice tothe Teutonic Gods. Wagner was a favorite of Nietzsch who rejected traditional morality and Christianity and was the one who espoused the theories of Nordic or Teutonic supremacy.
Nazi ceremonies had all the traces of the old Teutonic Pagan religion.
Why would anyone who consider themsevles Christian embrace hatred of the Jews?

Arysa, you got a BA in history and you don't know what World War centered on Hitler?????

Sorry Arysa, I misread, you said you didn't get a B. A. in History but in Spanish.

Answer 1

true Christians hate no one....these nazis and Nietzsche were God Haters & communists and the nazis behavior & actions were crimes against humanity & completely demonic.......anyone with an ounce of common sense can not deny that.....<><

Answer 2

That is a question isn't it? Fact is, whether or not christians should hate jewish people doesn't prevent the fact that years of history prove it. Hitler, while having some similarities to the Teutonic beliefs, also embraced several aspects of christianity into his belief structures. He was in fact monotheistic and did believe in the christian god (as he was quoted on several occasions noting this) however, not all of them. You could consider it a drastically fringe sect of christianity. And christianity of course is just an evolved, monotheistic pagan religion as they have cannibalized more traditions and myths from pagan religions than any other religion has (the names have been changed of course).

Answer 3

Unfortunately you fail to account for the inquisition through the holocaust and the long standing tradition of anti-semitism and pograms that thrived in all of Eurupe- just for starters- how do you explain French and Spanish history? - I don't know a great deal about pagan beliefs- as I see it as a huge area that cannot be generalized and simplified- but it is clear that the majority of the individuals were not by any means what we would currently consider followers of a Pagan religion.

You seem to desire to disavow any involvement whatsoever of any "Christian" persons involvement or assistance in the Holocaust- which is absolutely absurd- and cherry picking a few insignificant figures from German histroy- while ignoring the 99.9% of the rest, is all too convenient.

Condeming of Nazi's and their crimes- does not equal condeming christianity- those you see that do- are just using anti-nazi speek to push forward what is really their dislike for christians- you need to learn to recognize and seperate the two.

It's good that you want to defend your religion, but you should not slander other religions or defend something as sickening and evil as the Nazi's to do so-

Answer 4

Absolutely correct. That is why most of the Nazi leadership was so moral, and at the same time so evil. They were practicing pagans. They could not use a normal Swastika, by the laws of Black Magic it had to be reversed. The White Cross changed to Black. Sure not all Pagans practice Black Magic, but these Pagans obviously did. Good question.

Du hast

Answer 5

Oh,I've always known that. There was a book in the 70s called Spear of destiny or something. Yeah,the castle at Wewelsburg,etc. Military intelligence started up a group like that in the U.S. around the mid-70s,some guy who writes for Soldier of Fortune started the group,then back to Army intelligence. I don't know what the game is.

Answer 6

The fact is that Hitler was a Christian but his view of Christianity was a little distorted. Check out this short passage from his book, "Mein Kampf." Straight from Hitler's mouth:

"Worst of all, however, is the devastation wrought by the misuse of religious conviction for political ends. In truth, we cannot sharply enough attack those wretched crooks who would like to make religion an implement to perform political or rather business services for them. These insolent liars, it is true, proclaim their creed in a stentorian voice to the whole world for other sinners to hear; but their intention is not, if necessary, to die for it, but to live better. For a single political swindle, provided it brings in enough, they are willing to sell the heart of a whole religion; for ten parliamentary mandates they would ally themselves with the Marxistic enemies of all religions -- and for a minister's chair they would even enter into a marriage with the devil, unless the devil were deterred by a remnant of decency."

As you can see, there is nothing even remotely Pagan about this. Please don't make assumptions you can't back up with evidence.

Answer 7

Christianity is based on a lot of pagan customs, so paganism is alive and well in North American, and it really doesn't matter what one german wrote.

Answer 8

Ever hear of Catholics, Lutherans or Baptists?

Granted, they've gotten over it, but it took several centuries.

And there are still many of them who buy into it.

Answer 9

I knew they were bringing back old ways. They were into alot of weird stuff.

A true Christian wouldn't have a hatred of the Jews because we both basically have the same religion, Christians just have a new testament of it.

Answer 10

But Hitler was a christian.

Just because the Nazi symbol (the swastika) is the Symbol of Thunor (the anglo-saxon version of Thor) does not mean he worshiped thunor.
