Re: [TruthTalk]Hitler - Christian, Atheist, or Neither?

[Marlin Halverson]

In my wanderings through the Web, I have sometimes come across statements from Christians saying that Adolf Hitler was an atheist, and more often, statements from atheists saying that Hitler was a devout Christian.  He seems to be a guy that nobody wants on their team, which I guess is fair enough, given the part that he played in humanity's bloodiest endeavour.  However since some of the "Hitler was a Christian" comments have been occasionally directed at me, I thought it would be wise to investigate the matter for myself and see just what I could come up with. My conclusion is that Hitler, although he was brought up and confirmed as a Catholic, had abandoned Christianity by the time he was in control of Germany.  Importantly though, he was not an atheist either.  Read on to find out more… http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/mischedj/ca_hitler.html ----- Original Message ----- From: ShieldsFamily To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2002 5:04 PM Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Is the Bible Complete?--Part 1 g,   Even if David M and Marlin mistakenly think that Hitler was a Christian, this does NOT mean they “support Hitler”. That is as baseless an accusation as saying that they are “liars”. Whenever you falsely accuse someone, God’s judgment falls upon you for it. If you don’t agree with their beliefs you would be much wiser to say they are mistaken.   Izzy     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2002 3:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Is the Bible Complete?--Part 1   Ladies, TT records indicate that both DavidM and Marlin perceive that Adolph Hitler is (a) Christian (but this is a false perception acc to posted public records/sound WW2 history)   on one hand, this means that neither DavidM nor Marlin wanna 'support' Christianity   on the other hand, it also proves, that despite their dizzying rhetoric, Davidm and Marlin are unlike God, they are sinful 'respectors of people'--when they deny this they are liars   keep in mind that in TT records DavidM assures DaveH that Joseph Smith/Mormonism is Christian g -- On Thu, 26 Dec 2002 14:52:34 -0600 "ShieldsFamily" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Laura, I do have all of Marlin’s past posts on my computer, and in none of them did he state that he supports Hitler. I think that is an untrue, if not unkind, statement. Maybe Marlin would be kind enough to clarify this issue for Laura?

Thank you. Izzy It came from a post of Marlins and I don't still have it on my computer.  Laura
