It sure seems that he thought he was inspired by it. Of course, Hitler was nothing if not a liar. But it seems to me, if you're going to quote Hitler to claim that Nazi-ism was inspired by the Theory of Evolution, it's legitimate to quote Hitler very passionately claiming he was inspired by Christianity.

Actions speak louder than empty rhetoric, Professor...Extermination of the Jews and eugenicism were byproducts not of Christianity, on the contrary, they are direct intellectual byproducts of Marxism and Darwinism...For every quote you pull, suggesting Hitler was a Christian (which you know was a lie to manipulate) there are 100 others suggesting otherwise.

"I want a powerful, masterly, cruel and fearless youth... There must be nothing weak or tender about them. The freedom and dignity of the wild beast must shine from their eyes... That is how I will root out a thousand years of human domestication."

"It is through the peasantry that we shall really be able to destroy Christianity," he said in 1933, "because there is in them a true religion rooted in nature and blood." His countrymen would have to choose: "One is either a Christian or a German. You can't be both."

Indeed, he understood all too well that Christianity, in the long run, was his enemy. "Pure Christianity — the Christianity of the catacombs — is concerned with translating the Christian doctrine into fact. It leads simply to the annihilation of mankind. It is merely wholehearted Bolshevism, under a tinsel of metaphysics."

NationalReview - David Shiflett

Hitler was no Christian, to suggest otherwise only betrays your lack of information, intentional or otherwise.

So you keep asserting. Yet both Martin Luther and Adolf Hitler said they felt it was their duty as Christians. I'm not sure Hitler even understood the theory of evolution except in the most superficial, popular sense; but he was most definitely well versed in Christian doctrine, and he used Christian metaphors his whole life.

For every quote you pull, suggesting Hitler was a Christian (which you know was a lie to manipulate) there are 100 others suggesting otherwise.

Find me one with the passion or force equal to the one I quoted.
