Hitler Was A Christian? by Nobody: 2:17am On Jul 18, 2011
So hitler was a christian? if this is true then christian fundamentalism must have been the cause of the holocaust?

"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow my self to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows . For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people." –
Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed. The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford University Press, 1942)

No he wasn't, he had a personal relationship with Jesus.

You are one big doofus that deserves one big slap to your head grin

heres another quote by Hitler

“Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.” –Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

personally it is complicated, for the following reasons;
according to him he was avenging Jesus from the Jews who killed Jesus and i read that it was martin Luther king that gave him the strategies that he used because the Jews didn't support martin Luther against the catholic fathers, much more, Hitler was close to the catholic priest in the Vatican.
i think his believe in faith in god was a calculated attempt to becloud his thirst for blood. you can read 'IN DEFENSE OF ISRAEL BY JOHN HAGEE' for more on this

So we should mellow in sorrow, or what? Jesus Christ is the Author and Finisher of the christian faith, not any man good or bad. Look to Jesus not man.

This is silly. Are you seriously asking if Hitler was a Christian (i.e. follower of Christ)? Of course not. This is common sense. . . . really. That's like asking if former president Bush is a Christian. The answer should be so obvious.

The book Hitler's Secret Conversations (1941-1944 published by Farrar, Straus and Young, Inc. first edition, 1953) contains definitive proof of Hitler's real views. The book was published in Britain under the title, Hitler's Table Talk 1941-1944, which title was used for the Oxford University Press paperback edition in the United States.

All of these are quotes from Adolf Hitler:

Night of 11th-12th July, 1941: "National Socialism and religion cannot exist together,  The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. The deliberate lie in the matter of religion was introduced into the world by Christianity,  Let it not be said that Christianity brought man the life of the soul, for that evolution was in the natural order of things." (p 6 & 7)

10th October, 1941, midday: "Christianity is a rebellion against natural law, a protest against nature. Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the systematic cultivation of the human failure." (p 43)

14th October, 1941, midday: "The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death,  When understanding of the universe has become widespread,  Christian doctrine will be convicted of absurdity,  Christianity has reached the peak of absurdity,  And that's why someday its structure will collapse,  , the only way to get rid of Christianity is to allow it to die little by little,  Christianity the liar,  We'll see to it that the Churches cannot spread abroad teachings in conflict with the interests of the State." (p 49-52)

19th October, 1941, night: "The reason why the ancient world was so pure, light and serene was that it knew nothing of the two great scourges: the pox and Christianity."

13th December, 1941, midnight: "Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing more senseless, nor any more indecent way of turning the idea of the Godhead into a mockery,  ,  When all is said, we have no reason to wish that the Italians and Spaniards should free themselves from the drug of Christianity. Let's be the only people who are immunised against the disease." (p 118 & 119)

14th December, 1941, midday: "Kerrl, with noblest of intentions, wanted to attempt a synthesis between National Socialism and Christianity. I don't believe the thing's possible, and I see the obstacle in Christianity itself,  Pure Christianity-- the Christianity of the catacombs-- is concerned with translating Christian doctrine into facts. It leads quite simply to the annihilation of mankind. It is merely whole-hearted Bolshevism, under a tinsel of metaphysics." (p 119 & 120)

9th April, 1942, dinner: "There is something very unhealthy about Christianity" (p 339)

Like most politicians, Hitler ascribed to Christianity publicly, for the sake of gaining acceptance from the people. It's no different than Barack Obama claiming to be a Christian, when much of what he actually believes, says, and does goes directly against the teachings of Jesus Christ. A follower of Christ? Not.

Freeindeed thank you for that piece
Re: Hitler Was A Christian? by DamiKhojie(m): 12:40am On Jul 25, 2011
I think he identified as Christian but didn't actively participate it. He was a very convincing speaker so I'm positive he probably would've used it to his advantage in speeches when condemning Jews. It really doesn't matter what his religion was in the same way it doesn't matter that Radical/Fundamentalists Muslims practice Islam because at the end of the day they're all scum who killed innocent people and should be remembered as such.
