"Yeah, right. He was a baptized Catholic, he asked for and drew support from Christians, he made statements that he was doing God's work;"

He saw himself as a racial messiah, so indeed he saw himself doing God's work.

He did not say anything favorable about JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF in the post you chose. The entire quote reveals his twisting of the sacrifice was simply made in order to 'get' jews. "For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people." Here is the racial justification which is non existent in the N.T. - in other words, he wrote the word 'Christian' yes; he misused it.

"The anti-Semitism of the new movement [Christian Social movement] was based on religious ideas instead of racial knowledge."

RWP, I grant you found a quote where on the surface it appears he speaks of Christians. He doesn't speak favorably of Jesus himself, nor of any of Jesus's teachings. I don't think that is an accident.

Your quote that anti-semitism is based on religious ideas I agree with. But not in the sense I think you meant; did you read my post regarding the charges of antisemitism against the Passion?

((I find it incredible you attribute the primary motivator of Hitler to his Christian background. Someone in your Christian background is likely to have badly betrayed you for you to make these statements. Of course you'll never reveal that wound to me ... but I have heard this tone before from folks wounded in a similar manner. Their anti-Christian actions/feelings are often bottomless as a result, and that 'Hitler was a Christian' even becomes a rational statement. Whatever it was, this Christian tells you this: sometimes it is the Christians that are most attractive targets for the enemies of Christ.))

I say again: you are absolutely wrong to claim that Hitler promoted Christianity in Germany as a Christian. I'm guessing you'll see this as dishonorable of me.

My feelings as a Christian point 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... 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.

If you don't think that's favorable, you're delusional.
