hitler with bishop

How Adolf Hitler united Christians into an Evangelical Church, put citizens from Middle East to prison without trial, invaded other country for resources, and schemed to eradicate Atheism.



A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.


- Albert Einstein, New York Times Magazine, November 9, 1930




Conformity and Selfishness



nazi priests

Political and social problems of a country should be solve using reason, not faith. Face with surmounting problems, a faith-based government instead of confronting the root of the problem head-on with reasonable solutions, leave everything to irrational faith. The leaders pray for the problem to go away. Religion to them, as Karl Marx, once wrote, is opium. Instead of solving the problem now, they want to escape reality, and create a fantasy of afterlife. This non-thinking leads to deep conformity - a country wherein ingenuity is punished and mediocre uniformity is rewarded.



Faith-based government also leads to deeply selfish citizens. Encouraged by the environment, the populace will shrug the problems of the country in apathy. Many will leave it up to the man in the clouds. The nation will turn its head away when face with a beggar. It will look away upon witnessing a squalid mother carrying two malnourished babies huddled in a makeshift shanty. The country will wish that if it just work hard enough, that if it just buy enough commercial goods, that if it just lock the subdivision houses well enough, that if it just perfect the "self" of its citizens, that this is "not my problem" will just fade away. Faith based government numb the social conscience by convincing people of busying themselves where sympathy and help is required. This selfish tendency of faith-based rules to abandon political will, was the undoing of Germany during Hitler's reign.





Hitler like God: the Submission of our Will



hitlet with goebbels

What good fortune for those in power, that people don't think!


- Adolf Hitler


When Germany came near an economic collapse, Hitler appealed to the selfish conformity of the country. To the unemployed and hungry, he promised jobs - he became their private army. To the middle class he promised a protection from big business. To the industrialists and politicians he promised prosperity. He never kept his promise.



Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater danger. It works the same in any country.


- Hermann Goering, Hitler's 2nd in Command


There was a dispute in Germany as to why he ascended into power. Hitler wasn't majority elected because many considered Hitler to be a simpleton, for his political roots are that of the southern most states. When a building caught fire, he proclaimed it as a terrorist act, and a sign from God. He went out on an all-out war against terror, blaming citizens coming from the Middle East (Jews).



An evil exists that threatens every man, woman, and child of this great nation. We must take steps to ensure our domestic security and protect our Homeland.


- Adolf Hitler


Like the Fictional Authoritarian God punishing Adam & Eve for their innocence (they didn't know good from bad when they ate the forbidden fruit), Hitler became an absolute dictator. He abolished the government, made big businesses his cronies, outlawed freedom of the press, setup secret trial courts, banned all political parties, dissolved trade unions, and murdered Communist. The unemployed poor that became his private storm troopers and officers were massacred on his orders, because of his paranoid fear of uprising.



Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith.


- Adolf Hitler, from a speech made during negotiations leading to the Nazi-Vatican Concordant.


Democratic and anti-war books were burned. History was rewritten to fit Nazism. School books on Science were revised so that "superior white-skinned aryan race" will look like scientific facts. Hitler's propaganda controlled the media (radio, newspapers, magazines, films, books, arts) to project a prosperous Germany.





Hitler using Christianity to Inspire Nazism



priests salute

I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so.


- Adolf Hitler


Hitler, baptized and raised as a Catholic, grew up knowing the power of religion on average citizen. When he was in power, he henceforth set a goal to make Germany a pure Christian nation. He beleive like Napoleon before him that "religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet." He schemed to unite every Christian sect in the country, Catholic and Protestant alike.



So far as the Evangelical Confessions are concerned we are determined to put an end to existing divisions, which are concerned only with the forms of organization, and to create a single Evangelical Church for the whole Reich.


- Adolf Hitler, in his Proclamation at the Parteitag at Nuremberg on 5 Sept. 1934.


Hitler influenced by the Anti-Jew Martin Luther (a leader of the Christian Reformation) envisioned his country to be of one Christian religion. Some Protestant Christians opposed him out in public, but like the Jews, gays, atheists, communists, gypsies and non-whites they were arrested and sent to the death camps.



It is Christians and not international atheists who now stand at the head of Germany. I do not merely talk of Christianity, no, I also profess that I will never ally myself with the parties which destroy Christianity.


- Adolf Hitler, in a speech delivered at Stuttgart, February 15, 1933.


The money and property of middle class Jews, gays, communists, atheists, gypsies, and non-whites were confiscated, looted or destroyed. Thousands upon thousands of them were sent to filthy, overcrowded unsanitary camps where they were forced to work hard labor with little or no food. Malnourishments, and unsanitary practices became prevalant in the camps - many died from mass starvation and contagious diseases.





The Holocaust: the Extermination of non-whites and non-Christians



holocaust

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.


- Adolf Hitler, in a speech delivered in Berlin, October 24, 1933.


German Christians abandoned their political will, prayed to the man in the clouds and either followed Hitler or turned a blind eye to the atrocities. Hitler, raving mad of his method of pseudoscience eugenics, proposes that anyone who is not to his perspective beautiful people (of white-skinned race) and anyone who is not Christian should be killed.



holocaust

Children from Prison Camp were taken from their parents. What these parents didn't know, is that of those Nazi Christians who followed Hitler crammed their infants into ovens where they were burned. Those who are of old age (e.g. tenured university professors and grandmothers), disabled (e.g. from war or accident), and mothers who do not want to give away their babies, were told to shower in a crowded room. Thereafter they were gas-poisoned. Tried as they can to escape in the door they came in, but to no avail. After many minutes, their chemically poisoned bodies were found piled on each other, their fingers broken from scratching the wall, the elderly legs twisted, the mother's arm torn, the babies skulls smashed under the stampede.



holocaust

The poisoned bodies afterwards were fed to the burning oven. The area near the burning factory, resembled a black winter of volcanic ash, wherein scorched flesh dropped snowlike from the skies.



Maus

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.


- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf


Many Nazi Christians, impatient that the death rate is not fast enough for the thousands of incoming prisoners, ordered the camp prisoners to dig a big hole beside the death factory, and made the newcomers jump at the pit. They then told the camp prisoners to pour gasoline at their fellow prisoners. The bodies of mothers, fathers, sons, daughters were burned alive - the screams harrowing - as hair, skin, eyes, teeth melted. The pungent smell of human flesh lingers. The camp prisoners scooped the fat from the burning bodies, so that they could burn better, as the Nazi guards punched them in the face to hurry up.






Video Evidence of the Holocaust Genocide



Holocaust Genocide (57 minutes):







The Blind Eye of the Catholic Church



catholic with hitler

Only a Catholic could unite Germany


- Goering, Hitler's adviser


The Vatican knew that the genocide was going on in Germany, yet they did nothing to denounce Hitler. Like many German Christians, they either followed him or turned a blind eye - culpable by ommision. Pope Pius XII time and time again, refused to take a stand against the Nazis. In the end, Hitler succeeded in uniting the German churches into one Evangelical Christianity.



We have not only brought thousands of priests back into the Church, but to millions of respectable people we have restored their faith in their religion and in their priests. The union of the Evangelical Church in a single Church for the whole Reich, the Concordat with the Catholic Church, these are but milestones


- Adolf Hitler, in his New Year Message




Hitler: Slipperly like a Worm



world war 2

It is only a matter of time, before Hitler's insane dogma attack secular governments.



Hitler, ever so sneaky, made a pact of non-aggression with Stalin (another insane personality - Stalin, who went to a Christian Seminary to study for priesthood, twisted Karl Marx philosophy, and created his own dogmatic doctrine). But what Stalin didn't know is, Hitler slaughtered thousands upon thousands of Communist in Germany. Hitler who despises Karl Marx (a Jew who became a communist atheist), wanted all along to eradicate communism. When Hitler conquered Soviet's neighboring countries, he broke the treaty and invaded Soviet Union.



France who championed democracy, was also targeted by the undemocratic Hitler. Since democracy allows different religion and race, France is contradictory to that of Hitler's goal - a populace of easily manipulated purely white-skinned Christians. Like what happened in the Soviet Union, Hitler first conquered the neighbors, before moving in for the invasion.



Hitler invaded almost all the world powers, and only three of the most powerful country remained, and one of them is an ally. It is still puzzling why Hirohito agreed to become Hitler's ally. Japan is a country of non-whites and has irreligious citizens (By philosophy, most Japanese are atheist). Had Hitler succeeded in invading all of the Soviets, he would also have betrayed Japan. But then again, Japan by that time has a fantatical, cult-like allegiance to the Emperor Hirohito, who insanely declared that he was a divine "living God" to rule all of Asia.





The Downfall of Hitler: Secular Governments Defense against Faith-based Rule



abraham lincoln

Britain and its powerful Commonwealth (Canada, Australia), has long ago abolish black slavery, and a century before, abolished their law requiring to swear by "the true faith of a Christian," allowing other religion such as Jews. Hitler wanted to invade Britain, but by way of the Pacific, Japan attacked the United States, ending their neutrality.



The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion


- George Washington, United States Treaty of Tripoli






The United States Founding Fathers, in their writings, dislike Christianity. They drafted a secular constitution, and provided a law for the separation of state and church.



The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma.


- Abraham Lincoln


Black slavery in the United States was abolished by Lincoln when he won the civil war with the religious south.

The southern states wanted to secede from the Union because they beleive that slavery is a religious and economic necessity. After the deafeat of the south, little by little, America became a multi-racial country.





Hitler's Defeat

Good people will do good things, and bad people will do bad things. But for good people to do bad things - that takes religion.


- Steven Weinberg, Nobel Laureate


In Hitler's mind, having conquered almost all of Europe, he would then attack first Britain and afterwards the United States. But with the combined defense prowess of USA, UK, and the USSR, together with the cooperation of the conquered countries (Which includes my own country, Philippines. It is interesting to note that our national hero, Jose Rizal, died by firing squad on the orders of the ruling white Catholic priests), in what was the bloodiest, most destructive war the world has ever witnessed, Hitler and his axis cohorts was defeated.



Emperor Hirohito, in the face of defeat, issued a statement renouncing his claim to be a "living God". He was stripped of his power, and was reduced to being a token symbol. Thereafter, the Allies, instituted a democratic constitution to replace Hirohito's pseudo-god rule, introducing separation of church and state law into Japan. Most Japanese today are non-religious.



Mussolini, an ally of Hitler, and head of the fascists Italy, made a pact with the Catholic Church to allow the Vatican to be independent. Mussolini, like Hitler, is anti-Communists, a move which garnered the Catholic Church support. When Italy was defeated, and the Allied forces was nearing his headquarters, Mussolini and his mistress was shot by an Italian Communist. Despite the Vatican protest, divorce and abortion is now legal in Italy.



Of all Hitler's powerful allies, only Franco, the Spain fascist, ruled till his old age. Throughout his rule, he enforced strict Roman Catholic social mores. Homosexuality, and prostitution were through his law, made criminal offense. Civil marriages which had taken place before Franco, were declared null and void and had to be reconfirmed by the Church. After his natural death, a right-wing Catholic sect, declared him a saint. The Vatican, who wants to stay away from the issue as possible, rejected the canonization.



After Franco's death, some of his statues and other public Franco signs, have been removed. The search for the mass graves of people executed was started. Additionally, the European Union has taken steps towards the rewrite of historic views on Franco. Spain afterwards, consists of democratic, socialists, and communists party. Divorce, abortion, and gay marriage is now legal. Husband permission law was also abolished. Sexual education is now part of the school curriculum, and adultery have been decriminalized.



Hitler, the man whose delusional fantasy of a world exclusive to white-skinned citizen that can be easily manipulated through unquestioning faith of his united Evangelical Christian Church - failed. When the Allied forces was closing in on his headquarters - United States, Britain, France from the west, and Soviet Union from the east - he took his gun, pointed it in his head, and in cowardice, tried to escape reality.

    Nice read. :)

    I am glad to know I found another atheist. Have you been to philippineatheists.org?

    Michael (16 February, 2007 12:54)

    Thanks =)

    I'm glad to have found another atheist too. Living in a predominantly Catholic country, I find it refreshing to see that I am not alone in my disbelief.

    Most atheist are individualistic, so even in the web, I have found at most a dozen or so of Filipino atheists.

    The problem I supposed is that most disbelievers are in the closet. Writing about it and linking to one another, is the first step to create an awareness to those who wants to find us.

    Thanks, I've checked philippineatheists.org. I saw that they've already conducted various EB.

    Hi, discovered your site thru a Digg comment. Will try to browse through it more but right now I'm thwarted by the fact that it does not render well in Firefox. I took a screenshot of your site rendered in Firefox and you can see the result here as you can see fully half of the page is blank. I hope you can fix this so it will be easier to navigate and read your site.

    Thanks.

    roy choco,
    Thanks for the observation.

    You're right. I've tested it with different browsers, systems and resolutions - fully half of the page is blank.

    The design, however, is deliberate. I wanted to design this blog in an unconventional way.

    Thanks for the visit.

    I've never heard of another filipino atheist before. Truly, I must be living in an island somewhere. (Just did a google search and got here)

    I'm in the US and evangelicals here are rabid!!! lol

    Anonymous (26 July, 2008 22:55)

    You are right about the wielding of religion to perform evil. However, Christians and atheists alike resist truly doing what Christ said to do, namely, "Offer your own bodies up to be abused", "Allow yourselves to be sued at law unto utter nakedness", "Love your enemies and persecutors", and "Give until you have nothing left to give".

    All of us resist with all our hearts such features of thought and behavior. Yet, the aforementioned commandments are precisely what Christ requires that we observe.

    Evil men will always masquerade as Christians, and will prosper in this world. But the theoretical "True Christian" will be unknown or despised, poor, naked, and defenseless. False Christians and atheists alike will always be driven by passion and grandiosity to murder those who are foolish enough to observe Christ's Gospel.

    This sight is insane.Hitler wasn't a Christian he was a neo-pagan nationalist! He was responsible for the murder of more Christians than anyone is history except maybe jihadist Muslims! As as far as the race of his victims it was almost exclusively White. You sir have a kaleidoscopic view of reality!
