"National Socialism and religion cannot exist together. . . The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity." --> Yep! True he said that aforementioned quote. And few more. Does that make him a pagan? For every minority claim that classifies him as a pagan and not a Christian catholic, there are other majority who claims otherwise with ten fold quotes that stamps him as nothing but Christian. Let me construct the ground which shall define him, not as a pagan but as a Christian. (Note: He being Christian does not mean all Christian is bad. That is NOT my point.It is obvious they are not. This is strictly for the sake of argument on which side of theory holds much water on HITLER'S religion. You use your best judgment.) Some of these statements from the different sources shall elaborate more on my estimation on why I call a spade a spade. 1) Hitler seeking power, wrote in Mein Kampf. "... I am convinced that I am acting as the agent of our Creator. By fighting off the Jews. I am doing the Lord's work." Years later, when in power, he quoted those same words in a Reichstag speech in 1938. 2) Three years later he informed General Gerhart Engel: "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so." 3) ".... Jesus prayers became mandatory in all schools under his administration..." 4) ...God have mercy! -Adolf Hitler (Mein Kamp) God forbid! -Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf) 5) He became a communicant and an altar boy in his youth, and was confirmed as a "soldier of Christ" in that church. And lastly, the whole point of debate could have arise from this reason, "For some reason, Catholics are not eager to claim Hitler." (Gaylor, Anne Nicole) Somehow, the more I researched on why few people are desperate to categorize him as non Christian, the more I remembered this interesting quote, which goes something like this : "When you are successful, Americans claims you are the citizen of the world, French says you are an European, and Germans claim ..." (If someone knows this quote feel free to throw it in here) Yestai k thiyo. Forgot. But the bottom line is, if Hitler was a big a sage as he was a sinner, he might well have been categorized as one of the greatest follower of Christianity. But alas he was no sage. In terms of hitler, "if past is prologue, we know what to expect if liberty becomes license," holds true. And I have always wondered why Indians still claim why Buddha was born in India. Just pondering thru more information. IndisGuise:) P.S: Please ignore the typos and fragments. Happens when you research hitler alone at work when the entire world is in rush for holidays. Happy Holidays. They can not say "Merry Christmas" in govt.'s schools and official greetings re hoina? Interesting!
