As a Catholic that makes him a heretic,

Very good. We now have a concession that he wasn't a Catholic. That's actually progress with some of you.

Now, the part about Jesus being an "Aryan" -- what particular branch of Christianity to which you would say that belongs? What part of the Bible would that come from?

Hitler was not a Christian. He hated Christianity. He did not want it taught in schools. He wanted to replace Christian holidays with pagan ones. He could have been a member of the NEA.

Here's some more intimate statements from der Fuhrer about Christianity:

Joseph Goebbels, for example, notes in a diary entry in 1939: "The Führer is deeply religious, but deeply anti-Christian. He regards Christianity as a symptom of decay." Albert Speer reports a similar statement: “You see, it’s been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn’t we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?"[11]

And I suspect they are giving Richard Carrier fits.

The puzzling thing is why do so many people on this board want to believe that Hitler was some kind of Christian when it is indisputable that he was an anti-Christian?

Nice references you have for the quotation.

But if you have read what I have said on these threads you would know that I am uninterested in Hitler's sincerity. The German people reacted to his public writings and statements, not to unrecorded private musings.

What the people who elected him and followed him saw were the trappings of Christianity, the clerics that saluted him in public, the mottos, the crosses. Are you asserting the German people were secret Muslims and they all just went along with the gag?

Very good. We now have a concession that he wasn't a Catholic.

By the way, are all people who make heretical comments in private conversations automatically not Catholics? Is there some kind of rule about automatic self excommunication?
