Pastor: Muhammad Was A Bloodthirsty Warlord; 3-30-2016

Capt Gregory Prickett - I think you need to read the following about Hitler's religious beliefs, which were more for political survival than personal belief:

The religious views of Adolf Hitler are a matter of debate. According to Alan Bullock, Hitler was a rationalist and materialist "who believed neither in God nor in conscience". Nonetheless, Hitler opportunistically employed the language of "divine providence" in defence of his own myth. When young, Hitler was baptised and confirmed in the Roman Catholic Church and raised by an anti-clerical father and practising Catholic mother. In adulthood, he became disdainful of Christianity, but retained some respect for the organisational power of the Church. Although he was prepared to allay conflicts for political reasons, according to Kershaw, Bullock, Evans, Fest, Phayer, Shirer and others, he eventually hoped to eradicate Christianity in Germany. Prosecutors at the Nuremberg Trials submitted that Hitler engaged in a slow and cautious policy to eliminate Christianity. Historians such as Fischel and Dill have written that if the regime could not eradicate Christianity, it hoped instead to subjugate or distort it to a Nazi world view. Steigmann-Gall interprets Hitler's language to mean that Hitler held Jesus in high esteem as an "Aryan fighter" who struggled against Jewry, but notes that, over time, his Nazi movement became "increasingly hostile to the churches".

According to Kershaw, Hitler was "a very private, even secretive individual", able to deceive "even hardened critics" as to his true beliefs. His anti-Christian world view is evidenced in sources such as the Goebbels Diaries, the memoirs of Albert Speer, and the transcripts edited by Martin Bormann in Hitler's Table Talk. The historian Evans wrote that Hitler repeatedly called Nazism a secular ideology founded on science, which in the long run could not co-exist with religion. Goebbels wrote in 1941 that Hitler "hates Christianity". Speer wrote after the war that Hitler had "no real attachment" to Catholicism, but that he never formally left the Church. Rees concludes that "Hitler's relationship in public to Christianity—indeed his relationship to religion in general—was opportunistic. There is no evidence that Hitler himself, in his personal life, ever expressed any individual belief in the basic tenets of the Christian church".

Thank you for posting this, TSgt. Hitler was absolutely not a Christian in any way, except for a familiarity because of his upbringing. He was a "scientific" materialist in his worldview, regardless of the calculated manipulation in many of his speeches.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Anyone can claim anything - you shall know them by their fruits gives the lie to any claim to Christianity by Hitler.

Capt Gregory Prickett - So you believe the KKK is a Christian arm?? How about the Black Panthers?? Radicals like to hide behind a faith while they carry out thier acts of violence, it gives more credence to their call.

LCpl Mark Lefler - It was Christians that ended slavery, it was Christians that fought against discrimination. As I recall Martin Luther King was a Christian Minister.

LCpl Mark Lefler - Now I understand, an Atheist. I was wondering whether your posts were just pure hatred, or if their was a driving force. Atheists now support Satanists and Muslims in their hate of Christianity. I should say in their fear of Christianity.

LCpl Mark Lefler - Why Lance, it appears you didn't read the article as closely as you should have:

"Christians have also been victims of violence, targeted by Muslims in this complex communal conflict that U.N. and humanitarian officials fear could implode into genocide. Several hundred thousand Christians remain in crowded, squalid camps, unable or too afraid to return home.
But attacks on Muslims in particular are intensifying, aid workers said.
Djotodia’s departure weakened the former Muslim rebels, known as Seleka, who carried out deadly attacks on Christians after they grabbed power in March, prompting the birth of Christian militias called the anti-balaka, or “anti-machete” in the local Sango language. The armed vigilantes have used the power vacuum to step up assaults on Muslims.
Now in disarray, the Seleka are no longer able to protect Muslims from the Christian vigilantes. The roughly 6,500 French and African troops authorized by the U.N. Security Council to intervene have been unable to stop the violence."

So it seems that Christians were being persecuted by Moslems first, esp. after Djotodia took power. It looks like the Christians FINALLY got tired of "turning the other cheek" and started treating Moslems the way they were treated.
