That's one of his pieces. My hometown, actually.

Is that dome supposed to be like that???
Obviously, pre-Escher as the dome is both in front of and behind the roofline.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I don't think that was abaris' point

I think we can safely say that morality was not the only thing Hitler had a warped sense of.

That's why they rejected him as a student. Boring and lacking life was the statement as far as I recall.

It looks as it looks in reality.

That's why his only work was postcard painter. And that's why the academy rejected him. No style of his own, just what he saw. Bare of people, bare of any life. Just buildings.

Speaking of Hitler's paintings as a devoted Christian he also painted "Mother Mary with the Holy Child Jesus Christ"
[Image: ahmaria.jpg]

Looking on that webpage there is a photo of him in WW1 and it seems that he took later facial image from his dog
[Image: hitler-ww1.jpg]

The caption says:  (shown left-under x) during World War I [1914 - 1918] with fellow German soldiers. The dog had the name Fuchsl and was actually Hitler's pet during the war until it was stolen from him.
I mean you must admit that the dog looks like future Hitler. He even re-imagined his name Fuchsl > Führer.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

To answer the question in the title of the thread for the billionth time here and everywhere.

YES, Hitler was a Christian, his own brand of Deist/Catholic/Occult..... He believed in divine providence, he was not an atheist ever.
