Deutsche Christen was charismatic.
I'm not a Christian but if I were, I could do a better job defending Christianity than anyone on this thread has done.
Maybe you guys should think about stopping the excuses and try to point out how Christianity has overcome the mistakes of the past and how you'll ensure to the rest of us that this will never happen again.

"Charismatic" in what sense?
Not in the authentic, balanced current sense.
Christianity has overcome rather overwhelmingly in lots of arenas and groups the worst of it's past.
AND some groups will always . . . this side of Armageddon . . . pervert the best and holiest wherever and of whatever sort. That's the job of demons and demonized humans. No surprise there.
Blanket rage, outrage, wholesale distortions of fact etc. such that the biases seem exceedingly blinding and clueless is not very impressively persuasive, either.
I would put the word DECEIVED in place of charismatic. satan put a web of deception over all of Germany at this time because of the occultic practices of Hitler and the SS. It had nothing to do with Christ, Christianity or Charismatics.
