Hitler & Christianity

Sibby has a post today, mostly a cut and paste job, that is simply a lie. There is no other word for it. Now to be fair Sibby didn't write most of it, but he posted it on his website without doing any research. Lies like this can't go unanswered so I will answer. Here is part of the post.

"When they mention recent Christianity-induced violence, the name that most often pops into the conversation is that of Adolf Hitler. The left loves to hold him up and talk about how a Catholic envisioned and then carried out the Nazi Holocaust. The major flaw in that argument is that Hitler was not a Catholic. He was simply born to parents who were Catholic. Read any legitimate biography about him and you will see that he was virtually devoid of any sort of spirituality and that the closest thing to religion in his life was a disturbing fascination with occultism. The bitter irony is, if Hitler had indeed been a Catholic, it is highly unlikely World War II would have ever occurred."
Where to start? How about with Hitler's own writings in Mein Kamph.
"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."

How about Hitler's own words from speeches.

"We demand liberty for all religious denomitions in the State, so far as they are not a danger to it and do not militate against the morality and moral sense of the German race. The Party, as such, stands for positive Christianity, but does not bind itself in the matter of creed to any particular confession. It combats the Jewish-materialist spirit within and without us, and is convinced that our nation can achieve permanent health from within only on the principle: the common interest before self-interest."
This next quote could come from Sibby himself.
“We were convinced that the people needs and requires this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out.”

As you can see from the photos the left, Hitler certainly spent a lot of time in church and with Catholic Cardinals for a guy who wasn't really Catholic.

Sorry Sibby, but your lies have to stop. It is not my contention that todays wacky brand of Christian fundamentalism is akin to Hitler's Christianity, all I'm saying is you can't deny Hitler was a practicing Christian.

Sorry, but for anyone to say that Hitler was a practicing Christian is the absolute farthest stretch of the imagination and bag of horse--- that I've read in a long time.

This is my first visit to your blog, and after reading this, it won't be my last. I'm willing to abide different opinions on politial issues, but yours has just lost any semblance of credibility.
