Its not because you follow a belief or a religion, that you are conscious of it all the time...For this you must be a priest not a believer. Actually Hitler,was more concern about cleaning the world from evil, but his perception of evil, was well not really what we think it is today! All perceptions evolved, and it always depend on our level of knowledges. If we were knowing the same thing Hilter was aware of, maybe we would have done the same... Just because we were not aware of everything. It is why knowledge is VERY important when you are serious at backing a religions, or an ideology, if you stop learning, you stop thinking, and when this happen, humans can do anything!! Even the most evil deeds!!

Hitler wasnt a Christian. All sorts of people say they are Christian but you can tell if they are by what they do and say and how they live. Hitler tried to get rid of Jews. There is nothing Christlike in that. What verses was he following for those decisions?. None. Perhaps he was just trying to get votes of Christians or the trust of people to say that he was Christian. This happens even today. That is why Kerry didnt get the votes he needed. He said he was one thing and acted like he could care less about the teachings of Jesus and the morals of the bible.
"Christianity is an invention of sick brains," Adolf Hitler, 13 December 1941.
"So it's not opportune to hurl ourselves now into a struggle with the Churches. The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death," Adolf Hitler, 14 October 1941
By the way, most of us would prefer that you please say Christian and not xians ......and religion is not important. I do not consider myself religious. I consider it faith not religion. Being religious saves no one. Jesus saves.

Definition:
Chris·tian (krÄs'chÉn) pronunciation
adj.
1. Professing belief in Jesus as Christ or following the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus.
2. Relating to or derived from Jesus or Jesus's teachings.
3. Manifesting the qualities or spirit of Jesus; Christlike.
4. Relating to or characteristic of Christianity or its adherents.
5. Showing a loving concern for others; humane.
Show me how any of Hitler's actions imply he was a Christian. I didn't see anything about the mass murders of 12 million people ever being called Christ like behavior. Not everyone who say's "I'm a Christian" is one.
Hitler was not really religious, he was mentally insane and completely misinterpreted a few passages in the Bible and use them to justify the horrific things he did. If you just wanna go with "he said he's Christian, so he is one" logic, fine, but the actions of one crazy person to not speak for an entire group. I think you and most people are intelligent enough to realize that.

It takes more than saying you're a Christian to be a Christian-Christianity demands a certain level of behavior towards our fellow human beings to be an active and believing Christian. Surely you don't think Hitler was an example of Christian values! Being a Christian is more than just being baptized into a particular faith, it requires reading the Bible, going to church for the preachin' and the teachin' about what the Bible means, what the lessons are, what the moral obligations are, and applying these lessons to our everyday life.
We deny Hitler as a Christian because his behavior proves that he was not a Christian.

I do not consider Hitler a Christian. Anyone that can cause the deaths of millions of people cannot be a Christian. He was clearly under the influence of satan. Even the Bible says (I'm paraphrasing) that followers of satan can appear as angels of light.
On the other hand, I do not deny that Christians can do bad things. Look at the burning of witches at the stake; killing of native Americans as part of the effort to convert them to Christianity; the harm done to Black people by using the Bible to justify slavery. All we have to do is look right now in the US at the spiritual terrorism being used by some Christians to attack gay people which leads to prejudice, discrimination and violence against gay people. Anyone can misuse Christianity and to admit that does not make Christianity itself any less valid, valuable and life-changing.

They are commiting the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.
EX1: Triangles with more than 3 sides are not triangles.
This is true because of the definition of a Triangle.
EX2: Triangles that are blue are not real triangles.
This commits the fallacy because color has nothing to do with what a triangle is.

Wow are you misguided. Chistians realize that all humans do bad things, Christians and unbelievers both. We are all sinners. As for Hitler, He apparently didn't love and care for others, so he was no christian, even if he claimed to be. By his works, we can see that.

It's just what they do. They deny the "real" Christianity of anyone does anything they consider bad. By those standards probably only Mother Teresa was a real Christian.

well it is easy, because he was not. research him you will find out that he was an occultist. Hitler had songs, speeches, and banners all proclaiming him as God. that is not a Christian. Hitler owned the spear of destiny.and worshipped it. please do your own research.

Because he acted more like a nonbeliever than a true believer.
