That was no "ad hominem attack." It was simply a factual observation based upon your post.

You stated that the Nazis were Christian. That is absurd. The entire spiritual ediface of Nazism was the occult, especially Norse mythology and an odd mixture of old German earth cults.

The SS initiation cermony was occultic to the core. Nazism was based, more than anything, on the occult.

In 1935, the Nazis removed the Bible from all churches in the Reich and replaced them with copies of "Mein Campf."

Himmler lobbied to have the Pope publicly executed, but was overruled by Hitler who knew that such an act would be terrible PR. The Christians were next in line for extermination after the Jews were disposed of.

Anyone who denies that the Nazis were heavily involved in the occult and their own brand of neo-paganism is simply ignorant of history.

Comparing FR posters to liberals is considered bad form, btw.

I never said anything about Hitler or the Nazis. I said the "germans".

Regardless of what Hitler believed, or any other Nazi, for that matter, Hitler could not have done what he did without the consent of the German people. The Christian German people. Also, Hitler did use Christianity as a justification in his speeches, and the iron cross was a major symbol used by the Nazis.

I am aware of Hitler's experimentation with mysticism. His belief that "aryans" were the descendants of Atlantis. I am well aware of all of that, but I am also aware of his solid Christian background, and I am not about to believe that all or even a significant number of Nazis believed in such occultism.

My point was and remains that Germany was a Christian nation, and it happened there. Just as Christian nations launched the Inquisition and the Crusades.
My point being that religious belief does not deliver instant morality, and this goes for Christians as well. Just as lack of religious belief does not make one automatically immoral, or even more inclined towards immorality.
