"LMAO! It was a revival of Christianity in Europe! It was "Family Values". It was "Law and Order". The Jews of Berlin voted for Hitler...He was a "Good Christian" who was going to restore "Family Values". It boggles my mind that anyone from this present era could follow in the goosesteps of that era! ."

You're in bad need of an education. Start small, read a short study The Twisted Cross by Lutzer. While Hitler was willing to use and abuse christian symbols (like Stalin's sudden temporary christianity in 1942 when he was worried he couldn't survive on the support of his fellow atheists alone), Hitler's religion was a mix of Germanic paganism, "Aryan" racism, and fascination with Hindu avatars. The Nazis even developed their own ritual replacements for the common practices of the christian backround.

Like all politicians, malevolent and benign, Hitler had no compunctions about using religion ( like how John Kerry has a sudden spiritual renewal that drives him, uncharacteristically, to church, and just happens to cycle every election year).

I thought such facts were well known!

Curious someone wants to mangle them all out of whack and then attack Pentecostals with such nonsense as to suggest a similarity!

Someone seems to need a new dictionary and a new history book.

Exactly my point!
Hitler was voted into office by God fearing Germans who followed him into hell. It always starts small. A morality law here, a morality law there...
