Naziism Paved the Way
American Thinker ^ | 23.Feb.2014 | Enza Ferreri

Posted on 02/23/2014 12:27:40 PM PST by Shery

Of all the myriad myths spread at light speed by the enemies of Christianity and astonishingly believed without much critical thought by vast numbers of people, one of the most surreal must be the idea that Nazism was Christian.

This is part of an email I received fromTony, a supporter of my party Liberty GB, who sent me a long list of sharp attacks against Christianity after watching my video: What Is Uniquely Good about Western Civilisation Derives from Christianity. For example Adolf Hitler was a Catholic and included proclamations of his beliefs in his writings, e.g. "We demand liberty for all religious denominations in the State, so far as they are not a danger to it and do not militate against the morality and moral sense of the German race. The Party, as such, stands for positive Christianity, but does not bind itself in the matter of creed to any particular confession." There are many more religious quotes from Hitler here: http://www.nobeliefs.com/speeches.htm What is totally missed by Tony and, unfortunately, many others is that "positive Christianity" is not Christianity at all, but a way...

I've encountered the same remarks, as well. People don't know history, and very little about Naziism or WWII, for that matter. This is a good article.

Most of the inner circle and certainly those behind Hitler were ardently anti-Christian. They did as much as they could to place pastors they approved of into churches (started by taking over the seminaries).

The more interesting part is the continuing thread of occultism through out the fascist regimes through out history.

There was nothing Christian about Hitler or naziism.

Hitler was inspired by Blavatsky’s The Secret Doctrine, which glorifies the same person Saul Alinsky dedicated his book to.

In other words, Hitler was the opposite of Christian.

How the Nazis reinvented Christmas and cast the Führer as the Messiah

A Yuletide fir tree decorated with sparkling swastikas, apple- cheeked children in uniform eager to bake SS insignia-shaped cakes for the whole family, and festive Germanic candlesticks hand-crafted in a concentration camp – such were the dubious delights of Christmas under Nazi rule.

The Nazification of Christmas did not end there. The Christmas tree crib was replaced by a Christmas garden containing wooden toy deer and rabbits. Mary and Jesus became the Germanic mother and child, while dozens of Christmas carols, including the famous German hymn “Silent Night”, were rewritten with all references to God, Christ and religion expunged. At the height of the anti-Christian campaign, an attempt was made to replace the coming of Christ the Saviour with the coming of Adolf Hitler – the “Saviour Führer.”

I agree that Hitler was the opposite of Christian.

This thread:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3125967/posts

Has people making the claim that Fascism is a right-wing phenomenon and as evidence, posters point to Hitler and Mussolini’s support for the Church as evidence of their right-wing philosophy.

Blows me away.

The Left owns university history departments and Hollywood. The history of the Communist and Nazi era was written by the Left.

I was born 13 yrs after the war ended. The takeaway by most people who lived thru the war seemed to me, even as a young boy, to be: Deep belief in God, family and country is intolerant and the beginning of Evil.

Hitler was no more a Christian than Obama is.

"positive Christianity" is not Christianity at all, but a way of "restoring the old pagan Nordic values and 'substitute the spirit of the hero for that of the Crucifixion'."

In the context that Hitler used it, yes, but you cannot make that generalization.

I was just looking at that thread and agree with your comments there.

Left wing, right wing, statism, individual vs collective, liberty vs its opposite—things sure do get all mixed up and distorted. And then to make things more confusing we have RINOs and CINOs.

A good way to clear the confusion is to see it as coercion vs persuasion. This mirrors the ultimate spiritual dichotomy to a small extent. As well as liars (which describes RINOs) vs truth tellers.

It seems to me there are potential links between each of the major political tyrants (including American Democrats) and God’s enemy, at least on the philosophical level. Lucifer was revered by Alinsky, who was Hillary’s mentor. I’m not aware of a Democrat leader who isn’t heavily influenced by Alinsky.

Marx, Hitler, Alinsky, and prominent political personas too numerous to name were either involved in the occult or made statements of allegiance to the enemy. Blavatsky, Crowley etc.

Easily the largest myth about nazism is that it is somehow right wing. Nazism is literally national socialism, a left wing dictatorship with national health care, old age pensions, compulsory education, free college, universal gun control and many other elements of the socialist state.

I own a book called THE NAZI PERSECUTION OF THE CHURCH. in one place, it talks about how Nazi soldiers, when first conquering a city, would first gather and kill all the pastors of the city.

The Nazis were Teutonic pagans, pre-Christian.

In 1914 German soldiers initiated the famous Christmas truce because they regarded the British as Christians like themselves.

There were no such truces in WWII.

I saved this to read later and to save for Christmas, when all the naysaying about the holiday starts. Thanks!

Even in those days the pastors, lawyers and doctors were the only educated people in those small towns. Killing them off probably made control easier.

The Hitler SA were homosexuals and anti-Christian. That is a well known and documented fact.
