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

The stuff he said would only be 'favorable' if he were pointing out what Christ actually said and did. Christ did not die 'fighting' to destroy the 'jews'. It's simply not true.

What I was after from you was ANY quote from Hitler where he reflected on what any of the 4 gospels actually have within them, and report favorably about Jesus. To say Hitler was a Christian implies he was advocating what Christ said. That is not true.

Now you're moving the goalposts. And you're indulging what's called the 'no true Scotsman' fallacy'.

'No true Scotsman doesn't like haggis'

'My brother in law's from Glasgow. He hates haggis.'

'He inna a true Scotsman then, because no true Scotsman doesn't like haggis.'

You've defined Christian in such a way that you can deny that anyone who embarrasses you is not a Christian. Thus, you can claim that no Christian is anything other than good.

Hitler was baptized Roman Catholic, brought up Catholic, made speeches invoking his Christianity and used Christian and biblical allusions and metaphors his whole life. In normal usage he would be counted as a Christian. He may have had plans to 'reform' Christianity, but then, so did Martin Luther, another notorious antisemite.
