Can we agree that, prior to Hitlers german state, christians had committed atrocities and genocide? Or is that also something that christians would rather sweep under the rug.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

To me, Herr Hitler comes across as much more of a Pauline CINO Christian as opposed to a Jesus Christian.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Hitler did Christians things they were so Christian that Christians these days say no Hitler isn't a Christian. that fact is technically speaking Hitler is more of Christian than most Christians are these days.

To take Hitler's comments in support of Christianity as evidence that Hitler was a Christian is very shaky ground. It precludes the possibility that (get ready for a shock) Hitler may have been lying.

Far be it from me to defend turn of the century Germany against accusations of antisemitism, but no need to limit yourself to the christian lands of Germany, when Henry Ford wrote "The international Jew" in the fine Christian land of USA 13 years before Hitler rose to power... I'm not saying there wasn't virulent Anti-Semitism in Germany, but it wasn't exactly a regional thing... By the time the Nazis really took power, it had long been a fashionable idea in certain circles in the west.

In point of fact nearly everyone who says they're a Christian is lying. To themselves.

Hitler believe in God and considered himself a Christian. I don't see why so many fight this concept. He was not really standard follower. He had a belief in providence from above, he really was his own brand of Catholic/deist/occult. But he was NOT an atheist who said "there is no such thing as a god". He regardless still convinced a majority Christian nation to follow him so it still wouldn't matter. Stalin was an atheist but again, the majority during his rise, as it is still today is Russian Orthodox Christianity. It is also a myth that China is a majority atheist. China is authoritarian sure, but like Stalin and like Hitler, it wasn't religion they target but all types of dissent that went against their 1 party rule. Cuba is a majority Catholic. The god of Abraham is an immovable authoritarian figure whom isn't voted into office and you cannot remove him from office. The effectiveness of a closed oppressive state works the same way blind loyalty to a God does. The same way the oppressive theocracies of Iran and Saudi Arabia work, blind loyalty. Even North Korea has it's own weird state religion based on Asian traditions. Blind worship of a God is just as bad as blind worship of a state regardless of the leaders personal beliefs.
