[QUOTE=yaram;60215]To some extent, that is what even Hitler wanted to happen (by many accounts, he thought he is aryan). We all know what were the results.[/QUOTE]
Hitler was a Christian who, thanks to the pseudoscience of Christian historians making up the absurd “Aryan Invasion Theory” (which is totally based on a literal interpretation of the Bible, by the way…), thought that White [U]Christians[/U] were “Aryans.” Hitler had as much to do with Hinduism as
The myth that Hitler or the Nazis were not Christians, or hostile to Christianity in general, is based on two things:
-
That a [U]few[/U] Nazi party members and early intellectuals were interested in reviving ancient Germanic polytheist beliefs.
-
Alleged quotes from Hitler claiming that he, and the Nazi party, were antagonistic towards Christianity.
In regards to the first point, it is true that some Nazis were more interested in pre-Christian German religion. But this was largely kept secret from the public, and was not advocated through legislation.
[I]“The characteristic thing about these people [Germanic Pagans] is that they rave about old Germanic heroism, about dim prehistory, stone axes spear and shield,but in reality are the greatest cowards that can be imagined. For the samepeople who brandish scholarly imitations of old German tin swords, and wear a dressed bearskin with bull’s horns over their bearded heads, preach forthe present nothing but struggle with spiritual weapons, and run away asfast as they can from every Communist blackjack. Posterity will have little occasion to glorify their own heroic existence in a new epic.”[/I] (Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Part 1, Chapter 12)
Furthermore, Hitler often spoke derisively of such people, and promoted a very PRO-CHRISTIAN agenda. And furthermore, all of the alleged anti-Christian quotes from Hitler have come from faked versions of Bormann’s “Hitler’s Table Talk,” or from Hermann Rauschning. His book, titled either “Conversations With Hitler” or “The Voice of Destruction,” has been debunked for DECADES, and no serious historian uses it as a source. The book was written (during the Nazi era) on the orders of American and French intelligence services as a deliberate propaganda tool to make Hitler seem anti-Christian, and therefore lose him the support of German and American Christians. Here’s an interesting article on some of the [B]debunked fake quotes in regards to Hitler and Christianity[/B]: www(dot)ffrf(dot)org/legacy/fttoday/2002/nov02/carrier(dot)php
In fact, Hitler promoted Christianity, and had favorable relations with the Vatican. You can find many examples, all throughout “Mein Kampf” of Hitler identifying himself as a Christian, or saying pro-Christian things. They are collected here: nobeliefs(dot)com/hitler(dot)htm
Here’s an example of Hitler’s pro-Christian weltanschauung:
[I]“My feelings [B]as a Christian[/B] points me to my [B]Lord and Savior[/B] as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love[B] as a Christian [/B]and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how [B]the Lord[/B] at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed [B]His blood upon the Cross[/B]. [B]As a Christian[/B] I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For [B]as a Christian[/B] I have also a duty to my own people.”[/I]-Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed. The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford University Press, 1942)
