WHAT IF HITLER WAS GOD?
To The Point ^ | July 22, 2005 | Dr. Jack Wheeler

Posted on 07/25/2005 7:45:42 PM PDT by 26lemoncharlie

The scene: It is November, 1943. We’re in Camp Shelby, just outside of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where 5,300 German prisoners of war are interned. The Geneva Conventions are being strictly adhered to, with food (prepared by German cooks), clothing, and medical care equal to their captors. The German POWs have formed soccer and volleyball teams, with descriptions and results of the tournaments between them reported in the camp newspaper, The Mississippi Post.

A Nazi church has been erected in the camp, where Nazi worshippers attend services held by Nazi chaplains. In their sermons, the chaplains instruct that “Nazism is the true religion, the Aryan Soul the only true God, our understanding of Whom has been brought to us by His Holiness, Adolph Hitler. Our Führer, Adolph Hitler is the true Holy Ghost. He is the human form of the Aryan Soul instantiated here on earth. We believe on this earth solely in Adolph Hitler and his sacred teachings.”

The Nazi Bible, Mein Kampf, is treated with careful reverence by the American camp guards. “The Holy Mein Kampf must never be placed in offensive areas such as the floor, near the toilet or sink, near the feet, or dirty/wet areas,” state the detailed rules issued by the Pentagon. “Only Nazi chaplains may handle the Holy Nazi Book, or by guards only after putting on clean white gloves in full view of the POWs.”

“The Holy Mein Kampf,” states the Pentagon’s directive, “should be treated like a ‘fragile piece of delicate art.’”

Duh! I am too stoopid to understand this analogy. (Summarizing a number of previous posts)

I often thought that what if Hitler was a good man instead of a monster, and did good instead of evil. He would be the greatest man in history but for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Claiming 'WWII POW camps ARE just like Gitmo' is particularly silly, since the Germans captured in WWII who were fighting without uniforms and without regard for the requirements of the Geneva Convention were hung quickly so they didn't have months to pray to their God and toss their Scriptures in the toilet. They were more concerned about meeting their Maker than about flushing His Word down the john for p.r. purposes.

I'm not sure that Hitler could have accomplished much good. At most he could have been credited with resurrecting the German economy. I'm not sure what else he had the talent to accomplish other than being an insane dictator.

You are most likely right but I really did think these thoughts over the years.

quite an accurate analogy.
take the Koran.
strip it of all the arabesque figures of speech.
replace all iterations and variations of "Muhammed" "Prophet" "Allah" etc... with the words "the Leader"
Compare results with a transcript of the Nurnburg Rally.

What if Superman worked for the Nazis.

By 26 I mean 47

Hmmm..

Hitler = God.
26 = 47.

I'm getting closer to cracking this code!

It might be that the point fell way short.

Sorry Chief, but the crew got it. The article didn't intent to promote the notion that Hitler was a god, but if he had claimed that status, we would have looked mighty stupid to provide the material that we do for Muslims.

Hitler was the anti-Christ, but since no one but God knows when Jesus will return, Satan send an anti-Christ every generation just in case its time.

The crew got what? A horrid stretch of the imagination?

Bottom line is that we are providing the prisoners in GITMO the exact same thing we did the prisoners in WWII...the materials for them to practise their religion...not their politics.

Well in case you haven't noticed, in the case of Islam, they are the same thing.

The only real barrier to the truth, is believing you already have it. Any idea how we treated the Japanese, concerning their religion? Remember they worshipped the Emperor.

What do you think would happen if a Christian cult decided they needed a prayer call 5 times a day, and asked the army to provide notice and all the materials to observer that? If you think that would actually happen then there is no need for further discussion, you already know everything.

I'd treat Mein Kampf like it was a box of magically delicious chocolates while they were around

Of course you would. You're an appeaser, for one thing. And since you don't believe in anything very strongly, you naturally bend to the slightest whiff of prevailing winds that rattle your rickety, frightened, pathetic little boat.

Amazing, really: a person admits they'd treat the Nazis, and all their attendant horrors, with the exquisite tenderness of a "box of magically delicious chocolates" through the numerous outrages against human decency they committed for all the time "they were around."

Very telling, and quite disgusting.
