Was Adolf Hitler a practicing devout Christian?
It seems that there are some atheistic modern liberals who want to push very hard the idea that Adolf Hitler was a practicing devout Christian. That he avidly practiced Christian principles on a daily basis. And that he proclaimed the Word of God to everyone he met.
Was Adolf Hitler really a practicing devout Christian? Well, to answer this question, we must define what a practicing devout Christian really is.
In Matthew 22:35-40, Jesus was asked by an expert of the law, "Teacher, which command in the law is the greatest?" Jesus explained to him that the greatest command in the law is to love God with all your heart, mind, and soul. And the second greatest command is to love others as yourself. Jesus went on to explain that if you follow these two great commandments, you will automatically fulfill the Ten Commandments.
So according to Jesus, a practicing devout Christian is someone who loves God and people on a daily basis. Did Adolf Hitler love God and people on a daily basis? Well, let's see:
- Hitler was responsible for murdering six million Jews during World War 2.
- Hitler was responsible for murdering tens of thousands of Gypsy children, and thousands of disabled children.
- Hitler forbade Jewish doctors to treat non-Jews, and forbade Jews to marry non-Jews.
- Hitler sent people he didn't like to the ghettos.
- Hitler oversaw many concentration camps where Jews were worked to death. When they couldn't work anymore, they were gassed to death.
- Hitler wrote "Mein Kampf," his political autobiography and treatise on the superiority of the "Aryan race" and the "menace" of the Jew.
- Hitler had Jewish shops, houses and synagogues across Germany burned to the ground.
- Hitler was responsible for the physically disabled, mentally ill, and others that he deemed worthless to be rounded up and sent to designated hospitals to be murdered.
- Hitler was responsible for the murder of 500,000 Gypsies, between 10,000 and 25,000 homosexuals, 2,000 Jehovah's Witnesses, 3.5 million non-Jewish Poles, between 3.5 million and six million other Slavic civilians, four million Soviet prisoners of war, and 1.5 million political dissidents.
- Hitler oversaw the murder of 46 million Europeans, and the destruction of Europe.
Given the above list, it's very clear that Adolf Hitler was NOT a practicing devout Christian. In fact, Adolf Hitler's life was as far from Christianity as one can get - the complete opposite! Adolf Hitler made absolutely NO attempt to follow God's commandments! He made absolutely NO attempt to love everyone as himself!
So any atheistic modern liberal who claims that Adolf Hitler was a practicing devout Christian doesn't know a thing about Hitler.
In fact, Adolf Hitler's behavior was very similar to other notorious modern liberals: Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-tung, Vladimir Lenin, President Ho Chi Minh, President Kim Il Sung, Prime Minister Pol Pot, and President Kim Jong Il.
