Ya ... of course he would.You keep forgetting that Hitler said that he was a Catholic.
Ya ... of course he would.
So he wouldn't incur the wrath of the Catholics in Germany.
You forget that, in his early years, he needed their votes.
And if I say I'm an airline pilot, would that make me an airline pilot?
Then what is Catechism? New Convert's class? or the like?To claim a certain religious belief requires no such test...

You think you can claim you're an Independent Fundamental Baptist and fool us on a test?
If so, you'd better study -- hard.
Just don't tell me Hitler was a Christian because a) he had Gott Mit Uns on his belt buckle, and b) he claimed he was a Catholic; and expect me to believe it.Ah...you can pass that test....shows that you've learnt that material. Doesn't show you are a believing Baptist....we have to take your word for that...

Hitler may have fooled you, but not me.
A dead giveaway was his scientific treatment of the Jews.
JERUSALEM
My guess is that Hitler thought the Jews were ignorant, bronze age, goat-herding nomads.

You are terribly naive about political expediency. I suppose you also think Obama is a Christian just because he says so.
Are you seriously going to go the "Obama is a Muslim" route? The guy drinks alcoholic beverages; if he was an actual Muslim, he wouldn't do that. How about criticizing a person for traits they actually have rather than imagined ones, it's not as if there is nothing true you can't criticize Obama for, everyone has flaws.
Overall, I would say that, given the situations that Obama had to deal with and how he reacted to them, that he was about an average president who was good in some situations and did less than spectacular in others.
When Christians have to resort to declaring others are not Christians when they state they are, you know they are grasping for straws.
What I don't understand is why they resort to that when there are legitimate things you can criticize Obama for. Usually those sorts of tactics don't start being used unless people run out of ammunition. That, or by people ignorant of politics that don't want to make the effort to learn about it but still want to complain.
Common defense mechanism; "they aren't as good as me" or, "they are not a true Christian". It is all one and the same. What gets me, is with SO MANY denominations of Christianity, that anyone can claim to declare someone else is not a Christian.
Regarding Obama, major disappointment after voting for him in 08, the guy is a very poor leader, but that has nothing to do with him being a Christian.
I was always taught to turn the other cheek, myself. Sound familiar?
Some never see their flaws. If one believes in evolution, they can just blame it on their DNA.And yes, arrogantly rude. Of course, you wouldn't think so - but then, the arrogant rarely see their own flaws. It's a big part of why they're so arrogant.

You folks lack are marketing a bill of goods you that you have been sold on. Just like any religious fanatic pushes his wares. Just like doctors who push dangerous prescription drugs because they have been sold on the marketing of drug companies with all their alleged scientific data. And,then fight in the audacity of the drug companies who want to suppress the honest people who can offer safe alternatives.
Many fail to see the context of Jesus words... Why even mention being slapped in the face?
Some never see their flaws.
A Christian knows he is not better than anyone else. That he is saved by grace, not because he is such a good person. Just take a good look at some of the raunchy Christians. God saves anyone who is willing to believe.
This is your response to the accusation that you don't really know what you're talking about well enough to intelligently discuss the validity of evolutionary theory.
For argument sake.
If anyone did know enough? Would he believe it?
