What about Hitler?

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

Those who followed Christian teachings in Nazi Germany wound up in concentrations camps. In fact, during WWII, the largest community of Christian clerics in Europe was to be found in these death camps - surpassing even the Vatican in strength of numbers.

Although the strong Protestant and Catholic traditions in Germany limited the Fuehrer's public comments about religion (and also made necessary the elaborate measures taken to keep the existence of gas chambers concealed from the German public) he was quite candid in his personal observations. "It is through the peasantry that we will really be able to destroy Christianity, because there is in them a true religion rooted in nature and blood."

It's easy to isolate a few statements of political convenience made by Hitler, particularly if one has an ulterior agenda, but a man is revealed by what he does and Hitler's deeds prove that he was very much a pagan whose vision of the future did not include a role for token Christianity.

When the Nazis stormed Poland in 1939, the Christian clergy were hunted as relentlessly as the Jews. By 1940 only 3% remained in their parishes. Thousands were slaughtered, along with fellow church workers and nuns. Those who remained were strictly forbidden to evangelize, own property, or preach uncensored from the New Testament. In other words, they lived very much like dhimmis do under Islam.

The contempt that Nazis had for Christians was not softened by the fact that nearly all of those Europeans involved in sheltering Jews were strong believers, who acted according to Christian teachings. Jesus was a very gentle man who never hurt anyone and strongly disapproved of violence. (By contrast, Muhammad was a military leader who conducted raids on caravans, supervised mass slaughter and even advised his fighting men on how to rape women captured in battle).

Given that Christianity neither motivated Hitler, nor justified his actions, and Christians and Jews were amply represented among his victims, particularly those who lived consistently with the teachings of their faith, it is certainly puzzling that anyone should want to suppose otherwise. After all, what's really gained by believing a lie? When does false comfort become more appealing than existential truth?

Actually, his origin was dead-end unprovable.

• his father, Alois was born out-of-wedlock in 1837 to a servant girl named Anna Schicklgruber. A miller named Johann Hiedler married her and claimed paternity. Being semi-literate (Alois also only got that far), he spelled it "Hitler".
  
• The family that employed Anna Schicklgruber was Jewish (and she was in the employ at the time of Alois' birth), from a study done by Hans Frank (a Nazi official who Hitler appointed to govern occupied Poland).
  

Several opponents of (Adolf, born 1889) Hitler were executed for calling him "Schicklgruber"; also, Stauffenberg was rumoured to have stated that he "wanted to surrender reasonably to the West rather than ignominiously to the East, as continuation of 'Schicklgruber s life would bring".

Hitler actually followed some ceremonies/oaths which were supposedly of Teutonic ("Norse") origin--partly due to his resemblance to an 1889 Franz von Stuck painting of Odin; but basically, these were self-worship.
