Did you know that the modern Olympic Torch ritual was created by the Nazis in 1936?

Question

Proving that the Nazis were quite the showmen and that contemporary western culture is essentially pagan.

Answer 1

Your a tool, the Olympics have been around for thousands of years. Carrying in a torch in Berlin doesn't prove that. They probably lit the torch from a concentration camp, how's that for showmanship.

Answer 2

You do know that the Olympics was based on the Greek gods don't you? It's origin was to bring glory to the gods. Therefore, quite pagan. What this guy did was REINTRODUCE the flame, which was originally part of the ceremony. I have no problem with that. Did you know that the Volkswagen was ordered by Hitler?

Adolf Hitler met with Ferdinand Porsche to discuss Hitler's idea of a volkswagen. Hitler proposed a people's car that could carry 5 people, cruise up to 62mph, return 33mpg, and cost only 1000 Reich Marks. This was an opportunity for Porsche to push his idea of a small car foward, as was it to help Hitler get a real people's car for the citizens of Germany.

I still like Volkswagens.

Answer 3

well.....actually Olympic games and everything related to it, as i know, were invented by the Greeks. The Olympic games started because of them many years ago, Even before Christ, and they are called Olympic because they were celebrated in the Olympus Mont

Answer 4

I've never heard that. Can you provide historical reference and documentation? Feel free to email it to me - I'd be interested in reading it.

If that sounded even a shade sarcastic, it wasn't meant to.
