    It's not really a case of whether anyone believes if Hitler was a christian or not. It is a matter of historical fact that he was brought up catholic, was baptized and then confirmed in 1904 and later clearly declared himself as christian doing the Lord's work.

    “I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so” Adolph Hitler 1941

    Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.
    Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.
    The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!"
    "Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"

    If there were no internet, or libraries, the young might be forgiven for their ignorance.

    However . . .

  5. Good points.
    Actually Hitler was much more of an Anti-Christ,+ Nazi symbol is a broken cross. Just goes to show US; pay attention because a broken NAZI cross [national socialist] is NOT the same as a cross.

    Its true Martin Luther turned on the Jews in his old age, but he died shortly there after.He also called the Bible letter to James an ''epistle of straw ''[worthless]. As a Christian Jew I would simply say , don't believe all you read. Sure he may have called James an epistle of straw- but he is simply wrong, on that also.

  6. So, the Nazis were Christians. Who would have thought?

    Actually if you read your history you will find out the Nazi's persecuted Christian priests and ministers. Thousands of Catholic priests and Protestant ministers died in concentration camps. The Nazis killed anyone who objected to what they were doing.

    "Anyone who dares to lay hands on the highest image of the Lord commits sacrilege against the benevolent creator of this miracle and contributes to the expulsion from paradise." Adolf Hitler

    Yes indeed. Laying bare the duplicity and hypocrisy made available through all religious belief, including Christianity. Now there's no excuse.

    “The greatness of Christianity did not lie in attempted negotiations for compromise with any similar philosophical opinions in the ancient world, but in its inexorable fanaticism in preaching and fighting for its own doctrine.” Mein Kampf
