yes [Hitler] was baptised Catholic as an infant...but that's where it ends. Early in his career he used to church to gain influence among the Christian population of Germany but as his power was consolidated his true agenda came out and it was the destruction of Christianity...but face it: Naziism is a form of Marxist socialism which is built on atheism. Crack a book and stop reading atheist agenda websites and believing that is real history

According to Albert Speer, who should have known, Hitler's adult life was spent as a nonpracticing Catholic. He never openly broke with the church, and looked sarcastically at Himmler's crackpot attempts to build a pagan Nazi "religion," but was given in private utterances as well as public to affirmations of his belief in a guiding deity who specially favored him.
As for the "Nazism is socialism is atheism" bit, here's a translation: "I don't really understand shit about any of these terms, but they make good epithets, so I'll say they're all the same! Clearly, I am a total dumb-ass!"
Oh, just go ahead and admit it: by "book" you mean Chick tract. Probably something where at the end the guy at Auschwitz who activated the gas repents after the war and goes to heaven, while the little Jewish boys and girls go to hell for being unbelievers.
And, finally, I have no energy to go into all the history fail you spewed in such a few short sentences.
Firstly, I would harbour a few suspicions about the educational achievements of someone who would use the expression 'crack a book', though possibly that's because I'm quite conservative, with a small c, in many ways.
Secondly, it's unfortunate for Christianity that Hitler was a fellow Christian. However, no amount of wishful thinking or propaganda will convince a genuine 'book cracking' person that an extreme right wing fascist was actually a left wing socialist. The facts speak for themselves, as can be confirmed by consulting history books.
Thirdly, perhaps anyone that does indulge in such pitiful revisionist deceit is ashamed of Hitler's association with Christianity. Actually, I've always felt that Nazism resonates well with fundamental cultism. True, fundamental cultists are not Christian, though they claim that they are, but, in fact, they are the opposite of true Christians in many ways. One feels that fundamental cultists would march blithely into Nazism with barely a falter in their stride.
Actually if you would look at history it seems that, as a young lad, Adolph would go out to play and always made his friend participate as he pretended to be a priest and lead them in a "mass" before they could play...he then went to seminary but dropped out for political ideology. Read a friggin book once in a while.
And before the rooster crows three times, another Right-wing fuckwit will lie about the Nazis being Leftist/atheist.
Keep saying it. Maybe someday, more than just your brain-dead drones will swallow it.
Denial, delusion, or really good glue inhaled in high school? I just can't tell.
I love the way you christian apologists try to gloss over the reality of what happened in nazi Germany. The truth is, without christians there could have been no Holocaust. It was christians that drove the trains that took the innocents to their deaths; it was christians that manufactured the poison gas, the ovens, the showers, the modified trucks that drove around the countryside, full of human beings being slowly poisoned by exhaust fumes; it was christians who informed on their neighbours; it was christians that beat and humiliated old women in the street; it was christians who did nothing while people they knew were tortured, terrorised and murdered. Christians did all those things. Don't even dare, son.
The sad thing, of course, is that the general public in large believes this Christian propaganda. That's why it's continually pushed and repeated. 'God with us' was the Nazi regime motto, Hitler believed he was doing Gods work and promoted and strengthened the Catholic church.
These are facts, as much as you people hate reality, these are indisputable evidence of his belief. That and rather harsh treatment of Atheists comparable to Gypsies and other races
Or, in fundie-speak:
"LA LA LA I JUST READ WIKIPEDIA AND I'M NOT LISTENING!"
And by "agenda websites", he means "factchecked"
So if Hitler was an atheist why did he round up atheists? Why did he write that he was doing God's work in killing all the Jews?
As far as cracking open a book, I suggest you read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich . I have a copy if you need to borrow one.
His autobiography would disagree with you.
Also, he was Stalin's enemy. He wasn't a Marxist. He wanted to see communism eradicated.
Oh, of course Nazi's were really Marxists, that's why Hitler had them all arrested and sent to prison, because he loved them just that much.

"Hitler often links his conception of the Jewish worldview to materialism and Marxism. We know what he thought of Jews; he obviously hated materialism and Marxism. He labels a group the "Marxist mortal enemies of all religion;"[9] indeed, more than once he refers to Marx as "the Jew Karl Marx" [10] who proposed Marxist world domination "in the service of his race."[11]"

Yep, sure sounds like Hitler was a huge fan of Marx.
Nazism was socialism, all right, but anti-Marxist National Socialism. It promoted the idea that all Germans should live for the State, and that State was personified by Adolf Hitler.
Confused?
