really? Christians never kill each other?cue buzzer! Sorry... But the nazis were not athieists!so i'm going to assume your hatred includes the atheistic governments of the 20th century that murdered millions of people, including one notorious guy that thought he could help natural selection along by getting rid of everyone that wasn't blond haired and blue eyed?
"i'll take asshats for the win alex!"
myth:
Atheism is more dangerous than religion because atheists like adolf hitler killed millions in the name of their atheistic ideologies like nazism. That's far more than have been killed in the name of religion.
Response:
A popular image of the nazis is that they were fundamentally anti-christian while devout christians were anti-nazi. The truth is that german christians supported the nazis because they believed that adolf hitler was a gift to the german people from god.
hitler was an atheist who killed millions in the name of atheism, secularism? Was the nazi party based on an atheist, anti-christian ideology?
was adolf hitler an atheist?
Adolf hitler was baptized in a catholic church in 1889 and was never be excommunicated or in any other way officially censured by the catholic church. Hitler frequently referred to god and christianity in his various speeches and writings. In one 1933 speech, he said that "to do justice to god and our own conscience, we have turned once more to the german volk." in another he said: "we were convinced that the people need and require this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: We have stamped it out."
in a 1922 speech, he said: "my feeling as a christian points me to my lord and savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only 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 as a christian and as a man i read through the passage which tells us how the lord 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 against the jewish poison. Today, 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 his blood upon the cross. As a christian 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 as a christian i have also a duty to my own people. And when i look on my people i see them work and work and toil and labor, and at the end of the week they have only for their wages wretchedness and misery. When i go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then i believe i would be no christian, but a very devil, if i felt no pity for them, if i did not, as did our lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom today this poor people are plundered and exploited."
why did hitler murder fellow christians if he were a christian ?
