Substitute thought for taught.
ETA What day would you suggest as being appropriate for "celebrating Christmas" then? 1st of January? 1st of April? Maybe the 24th of June?
edit on 6/6/12 by LightSpeedDriver because: ETA

See, none of that was mentioned in the OP - even Hitler himself wouldn't have figured that out without being telepathic...
So Hitler was 'really' a pagan, and had only paid lip service to the Church to get various concessions/support etc. etc.? Is THAT your assertion? And then presumably the presence of 'Muslim allies' in his forces (volunteer troops, yes) supports his ability to accommodate any faith so long as he could gain?
If so, then you could also use Nazi support for the establishment of the state of Croatia (former Yugoslav Catholics) to support your theory - the irony of doing that while later accepting former Yugoslav muslims into the Waffen-SS at least shows the man had elastic principles...

I was planning on participating in your thread, but really... why should I? Your obviously a very rude person who has no intention of discussing anything at all. Just casting judgement on others and being insulting. "leave before I destroy you".. really? Is the internet tough guy going to come through my computer screen and beat me up?
Enjoy your stay here at ATS. I would imagine you wont be around much longer with your attitude.

The church-tower thing is at the very least a European convention/unwritten rule if not an actual codified law - I can't speak for Germany but in the UK it's something that was at least attempted to abide by.

The spear of destiny? I am assuming you mean the trinket that many believe is said spear? Since we are helping history majors could you please link me up with your definitive proof of said spears origin? While I think I do understand how you come to the conclusion that hitler wasn't a christian, reading his personal writings and speeches one would think it was more of a deluded idea of christianity not a false belief. The nazi's as a whole were protestant or catholic not occultist. This doesn't mean there weren't some that practiced this within the ruling ranks that does not speak of the whole party. I'm not sure how you are threading together fantasy or simple stories with fact to work for you and your personal version of history but I would enjoy reading where your information has come from to see for myself.

See you were playing stupid just to get a rise out of me. Yea, it's offensive when people smear christianity when it's well known that the romans have poisoned the well of christianity. Why is this so hard to understand? I don't hate the pagan traditions and astrology, I just hate when this moron is put in our field. He was NEVER a christian.
If anything, he was a mutt, with a propensity for "catholicism" (anyone he couldn't control

Why take such offense even if he was? Its not like he went out fighting in the name of Christianity. There have been people throughout history from all walks of life and from all religions that have done bad things, oppressed their people, killed people and even people that did commit mass murders in the name of their gods. Of all the history classes I have taken I dont ever remember anyone trying to convince me that Hitler did what he did to further Christianity or even in the name of Christianity. If he happened to "Be" christian and I am not saying he was or wasnt then what does it matter? Why take such offense to it? I dont.

Against who? Or is this all in reference to some other thread which is not referenced here so I have no context for this? I am just going from your original post to now without context obviously so help me out here.
