hypochondriac

Who said anything about him believing he was a Christian? There's plenty of evidence to suggest he didn't believe that but even if he did, that clearly isn't what we were talking about. Of course you can believe yourself to be a Christian and commit atrocities but that doesn't make it true.

He's still going so we've got some of his speeches on one side, maybe I'll go with his hate speech in most of Mein kampf? Or the torture of twins? Or maybe just being the leader of the nation that committed the worst atrocities of modern times? Of course that is all trumped by some speeches where he said he was a Christian. this is fantastic.

Nonsense Charlie. You're forgetting about the belt buckles and the online articles and Hitler's aunt went to church that one time.

I've told you about that obsession before. We're concentrating on soggy and his nazi posts this evening. TwoPints showed a bit of humanity earlier, let's not spoil things by riling him up again.

Careful, he'll be claiming your the same person next or pretending we've been having secret meeting outside of this thread in order to coordinate our attacks!

Ah we were so close! I thought there was a chance of a cheerful parting of the ways but you couldn't resist one more patronising dose of smug. Shame.

It's made my night. It's in loads of articles on the Internet dont you know. Maybe we should do a pros and cons list for if we think they are Christians. We've got the nazis were Christians on one side screaming about belt buckles and the Holocaust on the other. I know where my money is heading so far. Anyone else? Maybe some of them went to church, I'm going for slaughtering of the disabled next...

Katie Hopkins is relevant when discussing your lack of understanding about the Christian religion. In that respect she is incredibly relevant.

So in response to someone posting something along the lines of "there is a problem with extremism in Islam" you haven't come out with responses that include talking about the Nazis being Christians, talking about atrocities within other religions and calling people racist and reminding us that all Muslims are not terrorists? All whilst seemingly disagreeing with the statement. OK then...

Fair play. Just get soggy to show some humility and we are on to a winner!

There are plenty of articles refuting what you say (as well as actually knowing something about the Christian religion.) You do realise that just because it's in an article on the Internet it isn't necessarily true right? But yes the nazis must have been Christian because they had it on their belt buckles don't you know . For once Chapel end Charlie and I are in agreement- the nazis used the religion to further their war effort and your belief that Hitler was possibly a Christian after he rose to power is absolutely and utterly absurd. It's also totally irrelevant to the thread other than highlighting once more what mad ideas you have swirling in your brain so I hope we can move on with almost a forum consensus on this issue. Minus soggy of course.

You really didn't read my post did you. An apologist is someone who defends something such as a cause or organisation that is being criticised or attacked from other people. You are an apologist for extremist Islam when in response to someone saying that there is a problem with extremist Islam you deny that is the case and seek to deflect by looking for irrelevant examples of extremism in other faiths and bang on about Hitler being a Christian.

He's really really isn't but it's such an absurd notion that I had to bring it up again. Sorry to derail the topic somewhat.

So you're still claiming that after Hitler rose to power he was a Christian? You genuinely believe that? Here's a couple of sources for you: You are right that Hitler did mention Christianity many times in his writings. He paid Christianity a lot of lip service in*Mein Kampf, and he claimed to be a Christian. But Hitler's secretary, Martin Bormann, also declared that "National Socialism [Nazism] and Christianity are irreconcilable" and Hitler didn't squawk too much about it. Similarly, Hermann Rauschning, a Hitler associate, said, "One is either a Christian or a German. You can't be both." In addition, Hitler declared Nazism the state religion and the Bible was replaced by*Mein Kampf*in the schools. Randy Alley, one of my best WWII history sources, noted that the SS were supposedly forbidden to believe in God. Hitler also forwarded other reasons in ‘Mein Kampf’ as to why Christianity should be rejected. 1.It protected the weak and the low. 2.Christianity was Jewish and Oriental in origin and it forced people “to bends their backs to the sound of the church bells and crawl to the cross of a foreign God.” 3.Christianity began 2000 years previous among sick, exhausted and despairing men who had lost their belief in life. 4.The Christian tenets of forgiveness of sin, resurrection and salvation were “plain nonsense”. 5.The Christian idea of mercy was a dangerous idea and “un-German”. 6.Christian love was a silly idea because love paralysed men. 7.The Christian idea of equality protected the racially inferior, the ill, the weak and the crippled. But yeah Hitler was definitely a Christian. Definitely.

A rare moment of agreement! Just get a couple of others on the same page and there may be hope of a consensus yet.

Well that's a matter of opinion but to my mind it shows an incredible amount of disrespect for the memorial and by extension those killed.

Again all that is theoretically possible but he certainly wasn't a Christian when he wrote Mein kampf and I doubt soggy was referring to his childhood (the quotes he has used are clearly after his rise to power.)

That's hideously inappropriate and neither the time or the place for that sort of thing.

Indeed I agree. I assume soggys use of Hitler quotes regarding this particular argument was implying that Hitler was a Christian. We all agree that is utterly absurd. Good we can move on.

Granted it's hypothetically possible that he recanted after taking the cyanide capsule- sadly for us we will never know- but short of that and unless soggy has access to data unreleased to the public, it's clear that he wasn't in any way shape or form a Christian.

Well sort of. The European response to all this has been woeful so in that sense he is correct but almost everything else he says is mental with no detail. Trump is a cartoon character and will say whatever he thinks will be populist with his supporters. I wouldn't think too deeply about these sort of horrible acts though, after all Hitler was a Christian.

Irrefutable proof! I've heard some absolute tosh on here but congratulations you've taken it to a new level. Hitler was a Christian! :lol:

You are an apologist for extremist Islam when you deny or try to deflect attention from the not particularly controversial statement that there is a problem with extremism within Islam. Katie Hopkins attending a convent school does not in any way make her a Christian in the same way that me attending a Catholic Secondary School does not make me a Catholic.

It's not that interesting really, I don't see you arguing with the likes of two pints or Chapel end Charlie for example so it works both ways. There are plenty of holes in a number of their arguments but you never pick them up. Could it be because they are some of the few who don't think you're a loony? I've disagreed with delldays loads of times as I'm sure he will tell you.

It won't do when it's completely untrue and another example of you arguing against a perfectly reasonable view by shouting racist.
