If you're willing to put yourself out there, I'll gladly endorse you for the position of "AF Official Culinary Antidote to Godwin". As often as this Hitler nonsense turns up here, I could probably crib a great many of cooking and wine tips from you in just a few months.

He's a fine example of christendom.
Quotes from the man himself.
How inconvenient.
This is about the time they trot out the "True Christian" bullshit.

Was Hitler a Christian? Yes.
What Hitler a psychopath? Yes.
Was Hitler a vegetarian? No.
Not 100% sure about 2 and 3 but certain of the 1st one.

Doesn't matter if Hitler was a Christian or not. 97% of the adult (non-Jewish) German population identified with a Christian religion. The churches bought into fascism wholeheartedly and after the war the pews filled up like 1933 had never happened.
Christians did the Holocaust.

Hitler was a politician who wanted to win the support of Christians in Germany. Albert Speer reported that Hitler thought Himmler's mysticism was nonsense. (Inside The Third Reich) This indicates that Hitler wasn't a pagan but it's impossible to tell if he really believed in Christianity.
PS: He wasn't listed as a member of the Thule Society, either.

I like my pumpkins stewed with ham and rum. Saute a couple chopped medium onions in butter until sweet in a four quart soup pan. Add inch square chunks of pumpkin a ham bone and water to about four inches past covering. Cook over medium heat until the pumpkin is soft and tender. Add two cups chopped ham and two bay leaves. Continue cooking until pumpkin forms a thick stew. Add one tablespoon dark rum. Serve hot.
Do you think Hitler liked pumpkins, or is that just anti-pumpkin propaganda?

It's pretty much impossible to tell if ANYONE actually believes it.
Can't go by their actions, that's for sure . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

That's ok. Yahweh is more concerned about your words than your actions anyway.

Imagine the scandal if we could polygraph various denoms poobahs regarding their fealty to the Lord.
I'd be surprised if any salaried individual could pass.
