Hitler hated Christianity to...

* "It is through the peasantry that we shall really be able to destroy Christianity, because there is in them a true religion rooted in nature and blood"

* "Christianity is a rebellion against natural law, a protest against nature. Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the systematic cultivation of human failure."

* "Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing more senseless— A negro with his taboos is crushingly superior to the human being who seriously believes in transubstantiation."

* "Christianity is the worst of the regressions that mankind can ever have undergone, and it is the Jew who, thanks to this diabolic invention, has thrown him back fifteen centuries. The only thing that would be still worse would be victory for the Jew through Bolshevism. If Bolshevism triumphed, mankind would lose the gift of laughter and joy. It would become merely a shapeless mass, doomed to grayness and despair."

* "Christianity was the first creed in the world to exterminate its adversaries in the name of love."

* "It is Christianity that is the liar. It is in perpetual conflict with itself."

* "It is not opportune to hurl ourselves now into a struggle with the churches. The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death. A slow death has something comforting about it. The dogma of Christianity gets worn away before the advances of science. Religion will have to make more and more concessions. Gradually the myths crumble. All that is left is to prove that in nature there is no frontier between the organic and the inorganic. When understanding of the universe has become widespread, when the majority of men know that the stars are not sources of light but worlds, perhaps inhabited worlds like ours, then the Christian doctrine will be convicted of absurdity."

* "It seems to me that nothing would be more foolish than to reestablish the worship of Wotan. Our old mythology had ceased to be viable when Christianity implanted itself. Nothing dies unless it is moribund. At that period the ancient world was divided between the systems of philosophy and the worship of idols. It is not desirable that the whole of humanity should be stultified— and the only way of getting rid of Christianity is to allow it to die little by little."

* "Pure Christianity— the Christianity of the catacombs— is concerned with translating the Christian doctrine into facts. It leads quite simply to the annihilation of mankind. It is merely whole-hearted Bolshevism, under a tinsel of metaphysics."

* "The Christian religion tries to get out of it by explaining that one must attach a symbolic value to the images of Holy Writ. Any man who made the same claim four hundred years ago would have ended his career at the stake, with an accompaniment of Hosannas. By joining in the game of tolerance, religion has won back ground by comparison with bygone centuries."

* "The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. The deliberate lie in the matter of religion was introduced into the world by Christianity. Bolshevism practices a lie of the same nature, when it claims to bring liberty to men, whereas in reality it seeks only to enslave them. In the ancient world, the relations between men and gods were founded on an instinctive respect."

* "The man who lives in communion with nature necessarily finds himself in opposition to the Churches. And that is why they are heading for ruin - for science is bound to win."

* "The priests of antiquity were closer to nature, and they sought modestly for the meaning of things. Instead of that, Christianity promulgates its inconsistent dogmas and imposes them by force."

* "What is this God Who takes pleasure only in seeing men grovel before Him? Try to picture to yourselves the meaning of the following, quite simple story: God creates the conditions for sin. Later on He succeeds, with the help of the Devil, in causing man to sin. Then He employs a virgin to bring into the world a Son who, by His death, will redeem humanity!"

* "When all is said, we have no reason to wish that the Italians and Spaniards should free themselves from the drug of Christianity. Let us be the only Folk who are immunized against the disease."


Sounds awfully like some of the people on the board who claim that "Religion is the disease of the world and must be destroyed."

Hitler coopted a lot of Nietzche's rhetoric, mostly because his daughter was a Nazi and translated it to Naziese for him. He happened to use the other concepts too. That doesn't mean they're in any way a product of his mindset, just the stuff he was listening to. Like kids who listen to heavy metal and go out and do school shootings.

Talk about a fallacy. What if Hitler enjoyed Coca Cola. Would you create a post that says "Hitler liked Coca Cola too"?

I would. It'd be funny. For that matter someone should make a post saying "Hitler wanted to be an artist too".

"Hitler hated Christianity too..."

And Hitler also breathed. What's your point?

Hitler was a catholic and there are many quotes out there where he supports christianity...

Is it possible that the guy was just a liar and a hypocrite as well as an all-around prick?

Yeah, but we could've done a lot more to stop him. Probably would have, if not for fear of Communism (which was much more open about eliminating religion).

Hitler was a catholic.

Apparently an awfully irreverant one, according to those quotes. He probably started out as one, and he professed his faith to broker alliances, but he wasn't exactly very devout.

From what I could understand (I may be wrong, and I know I'll get an ear-full if I am), Hitler was more deeply associated with the occult, which would explain why he would use an inverted version of the Indian sign for good luck. Furthermore, I also thought him to be superstitious and (obviously) paranoid. As to the post that started this thread, it sounds like there are some unhappy campers out there that need a good nap time. ^_~

FLASH!!! Mr. and Mrs. NationStates, this just in, Mr. Adolph Hitler spinning in his hellish grave has been allow to release a message stating that the entire german nazi population misread his decree that the final solution to the Jewish problem was in fact meant to be read as SHOES. "I Hate the SHOES Jeeze my accent, hope it wasn't too much of inconvience for you all. Thanks and god bless. -A.Hitler"


He also said that he was gay and enjoyed Italian men.

Duh.

Christianity appeals were part of Hilter's attempts to look like a sane, nice human being.

Hitler was a genious. I don't agree with his point of view but I can't deny that he was a genious. He manipulated Germany briliantly, a shame that power whent to his head and he let his pride stand in the way of tactics. If he'd just used Einstein's 'Jewish' yet correct ideas, Germany would've been the first country with the atomic bomb.

You say this as if it is news. This has been common knowledge for quite some time. The only reason he wasn't more vocal about hatred of religion was so that he didn't alienate everyone in Germany.

Just like you believe that sin is the disease of the world and must be destroyed? And various things like abortion, sex before marriage, and disbelief in God are sins? Who's the Hitler now?

You can't Godwin a thread that was started specifically about Hitler or Nazi Germany.
