YOu need to go through the whole site, not just the link that Ichneumon gave, there is some fascinating information in there. And as to the fact that Hitler was a Christian? I personally, from what history I have read and rooted around for, would say that yes, he was a Christian, just not a good one.

Well. I have heard this rap before. Hitler used symbols from many different sources. He knew if he could co-opt Christianity for his own purposes – it would help him control the masses. There is nothing in Hitler’s life to make anybody with an open mind believe he was a Christian. Misuse of Christian symbols and concepts does not make one a Christian. Hitler followed Norse Mythology to a greater extent than Christianity – but I guess bringing that point out would ruin the anti-Christian spin.

He took the bible, interpreted it the way he wanted to, and then took that mess and turned it into a political goal.

I agree – except it was political from the getgo – Hitler started from the position of politics and twisted Christian symbols to help meet his political goals. That makes him NOT a Christian. (HINT: A Christian is one that follows the teachings of Jesus Christ. I have seen no evidence that Hitler followed the teachings of Jesus Christ)

He was a plagarer(spelling) and took from ANYWHERE that would help him, that included religion, science, philosophy, etc ad nauseum. He was a very intelligent and educated man, but he was also one of the nuttiest fruitcakes that ever lived.

I totally agree. That is what makes the man Hitler so intriguing.

Golly. Go to a thread that is even slight related to evolution and one can find the usual suspects. The only reason I stopped by the thread is I wanted to figure out how a thread about a new type of dinosaur could stay at the top of the list so long.
