"Evil MEN praise God to gain power. Hitler was a friend of the Pope and a good catholic"
Garbage. Hitler called Christianity the "Jewish mistake".
Yes, and there have been some recent histories based upon his writings that clearly show that he was a neo-Pagan. He used Christianity as a veil so that the German people would not know that he intended to replace the Church with resurrected Norse paganism. He hoped to eliminate all vestiges of Judeo-Christian beliefs from Germany.
These are quotes:
I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so.
( Adolf Hitler, from John Toland [Pulitzer Prize winner], Adolf Hitler, New York: Anchor Publishing, 1992, p. 507. )
I say: my Christian feeling tells me that my lord and savior is a warrior. It calls my attention to the man who, lonely and surrounded by only a few supporters, recognized what they [the Jews] were, and called for a battle against them, and who, by God, was not the greatest sufferer, but the greatest warrior. .
( Adolf Hitler, in a speech delivered on April 12, 1922; from Charles Bracelen Flood, Hitler: The Path to Power, Boston, Mass: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1989, pp. 261-262. )
So do you believe everything Hitler said or just what you need to believe?
Loon.
And a non religious system creates what? Peace love and harmony?
This post was an exorcise in futility.
Religious dogma's what? Here's a concept: learn English grammar before you bash religious faith. Then, perhaps, your thesis will be comprehensible even if it still is invalid and baseless.
I dont believe anything he said. I do, however, believe he said these things. There are several books on Hitler's Christianity. I believe he used religion to further his evil. I think that is the nature of religion. That it is used by evil men to manipulate good (or indifferent or ignorant) people.
That and material from the Bundesarchiv further demonstrates this. Many of Hitler's cronies were working hard to erode basic Judeo-Christian principles. Correspondece between Hitler and his inner circle provide their roadmap for the removal of Judeo-Christian belief and principles from the Reich.
How bizarre are you? Why then did Hitler have plans to kidnap the Pope? Hitler feared that the Pope would get in the way of his plans for global domination. Actually, Hitler wanted to abolish Christianity and impose socialism as the global religion. Your facts are turned upside down.
When one makes plans to kidnap the Pope I think one has to turn in one's "Good Catholic" card.
That's hilarious.
