Except the only evidence for Hitler's supposed atheism is a book called "Hitler's Table Talk", which has been largely discredited.
Hitler s Table Talk
The problem with these anti-Christian quotes is that the German text of the table-talk does not include them, they were made up by François Genoud, the translator of the French version, the very version that English translations rely on! (More on this below).
Even if you believed the table-talk included the anti-Christian quotes, nowhere in the talk does Hitler speak against Jesus or his own brand of Christianity. On the contrary, the table-talk has Hitler speaking admirably about Jesus. Hitler did, of course criticize organized religion in a political sense (as do many Christians today), but never in a religious sense. But the problems with using Hitler's table talk conversations as evidence for Hitler's apostasy are manyfold:
1) The reliability of the source (hearsay and editing by the anti-Catholic, Bormann)
2) The reliability of multiple translations, from German to French to English.
3) The bias of the translators (especially Genoud).
4) The table-talk reflects thoughts that do not occur in Hitler's other private or public conversations.
5) Nowhere does Hitler denounce Jesus or his own brand of Christianity.
6) The "anti-Christian" portions of Table-Talk does not concur with Hitler's actions for "positive" Christianity.
As usual, you're statement is not born out by fact. There are MANY sources that show Hitler to be an atheist. Here are just a very few....
“Hitler naturally wanted to bring the church into line with everything else in his scheme of things. He knew he dare not simply eradicate it: that would not have been possible with such an international organisation, and he would have lost many Christian supporters had he tried to. His principal aim was to unify the German Evangelical Church under a pro-Nazi banner, and to come to an accommodation with the Catholics.” – An Honourable Defeat: A History of German Resistance to Hitler, 1933-1945, by Anton Gil
“Adolf Hitler … was a disciple of Friedrich Nietzsche. … Hitler hated Christianity with a passion which rivaled Lenin’s. Shortly after assuming power in 1933, he told Hermann Rauschnig that he intended ‘to stamp out Christianity root and branch.’ ‘One is either a Christian or a German — you cannot be both,’ he added. … He said, ‘I want a powerful, masterly, cruel and fearless youth. … The freedom and dignity of the wild beast must shine from their eyes.’” – Historian Paul Johnson
"Amid his political associates in Berlin, Hitler made harsh pronouncements against the church, but in the presence of women he adopted a milder tone - one of the instances where he adapted his remarks to the surroundings."-Albert Speer, Inside the Third Reich, Phoenix, pp.148-149.
So, the Speer quote is meaningless.
Paul Johnson is an EXTREME Right-Wing author. Not surprisingly, he got the Presidential Medal of Honor from Bush in 2006. And even that quote of yours shows in no way that Hitler was an atheist or intended to destroy Christianity. Hell, Hitler couldn't even cancel KARNEVAL in Köln, the people of the city refused to let him do it. And Köln is a Catholic bastion within Germany, to this day.
You misspelled Anton Gill's name. He is mostly a FICTION writer. That being said, his book looks quite interesting, I may just read it, since it is about the resistance. I assume that the White Rose and Goerdeler are in the book. I find the Gill quote to be not bad. But it also shows in no way that Hitler was an atheist.
Why do you keep presenting material that doesn't actually back up your point?you clown faces
How ironic coming from another "clown face".
This clown face doesn't whine to momma when things don't go his way.
No, you just abuse your power and delete posts because you can't handle the fact that you have been exposed as a liar!
If that were true do you still think I would be a Mod here? c-k won't put up with that sort of crap and you know it. It is amusing to see the concerted effort Stat has generated with you useful idiots to try and have me removed though. Now, to get things back on track (so I don't have to delete yet more of your off topic whines and rants) kindly address the OP from now on, which is about how communism has morphed into the new environmentalism, or as my German friends are fond of saying "green, is the new red", and how the environmental movement truly doesn't care about the environment but does care about people...more specifically the control of those people.
It is true and I have the evidence of you doing it. That is why I continue to make copies of all my posts to you so that I can use them if you ever try to abuse your powers with me again.
Furthermore it was YOU that derailed this thread (I have that evidence too) so kindly refrain from accusing me of your own shortcomings.
Neither you, nor the OP, have managed to establish any valid connection between communism and environmentalism. I debunked that hogwash of the OP's in post #3 and PoliticalSpice hasn't come up with anything credible since.
As far as your latest canard goes;
the environmental movement truly doesn't care about the environment but does care about people...more specifically the control of those people.
Prove it!
Where is your credible source for that fallacious claim?
Or are you going to just throw another hissyfit and pretend that I am "off topic" because I am calling out your BS. Are you going to delete this post and fallaciously accuse me of "trolling" like you did the last time?
Either make your case or admit you can't because your Libertarianism is as bogus as PoliticalSpice's inane OP.
