Republicans read and heed The Holy Bible.
"When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod and the slave
dies under his hand, he shall be punished. But if the slave survives a day
or two, he is not to be punished; for the slave is his money."

Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with fear and
trembling, in singleness of heart, as to Christ...."
...........Ephesians 6:5
"Let all who are under the yoke slavery regard their masters as worthy of
all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be defamed.
Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground
that they are brethren; rather they must serve all the better since those
that benefit by their service are believers and beloved."
...........1 Timothy 6:1
"Bid slaves to be submissive to their masters and to give satisfaction in
every respect..."
...........Titus 2:9

seventh he shall go out free for nothing. . . . And if a man sell his

Obviously not because they refuse to believe in the existence of The Creator�
and probably subscribe to illogical Theory of Evolution junk science instead!
Many Clerics assure us that heretics like them make The Creator� very angry and
that they are condemned to Hell� for their heresy!
How could people like that possibly have any rights?

http://www.nobeliefs.com/nazis.htm

The Christianity of Hitler revealed in his speeches and proclamations
Compiled by Jim Walker
Originated: 27 Feb. 1997
Additions: 21 Nov. 2005
Through subterfuge and concealment, many of today's Church leaders and faithful
Christians have camouflaged the Christianity of Adolf Hitler and have attempted
to mark him an atheist, a pagan cult worshipper, or a false Christian. However,
from the earliest formation of the Nazi party and throughout the period of
conquest and growth, Hitler expressed his Christian support to the German
citizenry and soldiers. In the 1920s, Hitler's German Workers' Party (pre Nazi
term) adopted a "Programme" with twenty-five points (the Nazi version of a
constitution). In point twenty-four, their intent clearly demonstrates, from the
very beginning, their stand in favor of a "positive" Christianity:
24. We demand liberty for all religious denominations in the State, so far as
they are not a danger to it and do not militate against the morality and moral
sense of the German race. The Party, as such, stands for positive Christianity,
but does not bind itself in the matter of creed to any particular confession. It
combats the Jewish-materialist spirit within and without us, and is convinced
that our nation can achieve permanent health from within only on the principle:
the common interest before self-interest.
Hitler's speeches and proclamations, even more clearly, reveal his faith and
feelings toward a Christianized Germany. Nazism presents an embarrassment to
Christianity and demonstrates the danger of faith. The following words from
Hitler show his disdain for atheism, and pagan cults, and reveals the strength
of his Christian feelings:
My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It
points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers,
recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them
and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In
boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which
tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive
out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for
the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with
deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before in the fact that it
was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have
no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for
truth and justice.... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we
are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I
have also a duty to my own people.... When I go out in the morning and see these
men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I
would be no Christian, but a very devil if I felt no pity for them, if I did
not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom to-day
this poor people is plundered and exploited.
-Adolf Hitler, in his speech on 12 April 1922
[Note, "brood of vipers" appears in Matt. 3:7 & 12:34. John 2:15 depicts Jesus
driving out the money changers (adders) from the temple. The word "adders" also
appears in Psalms 140:3]
It will at any rate be my supreme task to see to it that in the newly awakened
NSDAP, the adherents of both Confessions can live peacefully together side by
side in order that they may take their stand in the common fight against the
power which is the mortal foe of any true Christianity.
-Adolf Hitler, in an article headed "A New Beginning," 26 Feb. 1925
We are a people of different faiths, but we are one. Which faith conquers the
other is not the question; rather, the question is whether Christianity stands
or falls.... We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of
Christianity... in fact our movement is Christian. We are filled with a desire
for Catholics and Protestants to discover one another in the deep distress of
our own people.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech in Passau, 27 Octover 1928, Bundesarchiv
Berlin-Zehlendorf, [cited from Richard Steigmann-Gall's The Holy Reich]
We are determined, as leaders of the nation, to fulfill as a national government
the task which has been given to us, swearing fidelity only to God, our
conscience, and our Volk.... This the national government will regard its first
and foremost duty to restore the unity of spirit and purpose of our Volk. It
will preserve and defend the foundations upon which the power of our nation
rests. It will take Christianity, as the basis of our collective morality, and
the family as the nucleus of our Volk and state, under its firm
protection....May God Almighty take our work into his grace, give true form to
our will, bless our insight, and endow us with the trust of our Volk.
-Adolf Hitler, on 1 Feb. 1933, addressing the German nation as Chancellor for
the first time, Volkischer Beobachter, 5 Aug. 1935, [cited from Richard
Steigmann-Gall's The Holy Reich]
Except the Lord built the house they labour in vain.... The truth of that text
was proved if one looks at the house of which the foundations were laid in 1918
and which since then has been in building.... The world will not help, the
people must help itself. Its own strength is the source of life. That strength
the Almighty has given us to use; that in it and through it we may wage the
battle of our life.... The others in the past years have not had the blessing of
the Almighty-- of Him Who in the last resort, whatever man may do, holds in His
hands the final decision. Lord God, let us never hesitate or play the coward,
let us never forget the duty which we have taken upon us.... We are all proud
that through God's powerful aid we have become once more true Germans.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech in March 1933
[Note, "Except the Lord built the house, they labour in vain" comes from Psalms
127:1 ]
The Government, being resolved to undertake the political and moral purification
of our public life, are creating and securing the conditions necessary for a
really profound revival of religious life.... The National Government regard the
two Christian Confessions as the weightiest factors for the maintenance of our
nationality. They will respect the agreements concluded between them and the
federal States. Their rights are not to be infringed.... It will be the
Government's care to maintain honest co-operation between Church and State; the
struggle against materialistic views and for a real national community is just
as much in the interest of the German nation as in that of the welfare of our
Christian faith. The Government of the Reich, who regard Christianity as the
unshakable foundation of the morals and moral code of the nation, attach the
greatest value to friendly relations with the Holy See and are endeavouring to
develop them.
-Adolf Hitler, in his speech to the Reichstag on 23 March 1933
The Catholic Church considered the Jews pestilent for fifteen hundred years, put
them in ghettos, etc, because it recognized the Jews for what they were".... I
recognize the representatives of this race as pestilent for the state and for
the church and perhaps I am thereby doing Christianity a great service by
pushing them out of schools and public functions.
-Adolf Hitler, 26 April 1933, [cited from Richard Steigmann-Gall's The Holy
Reich]
We want honestly to earn the resurrection of our people through our industry,
our perseverance, our will. We ask not of the Almighty 'Lord, make us free'!--
we want to be active, to work, to agree together as brothers, to strive in
rivalry with one another to bring about the hour when we can come before Him and
when we may ask of Him: 'Lord, Thou seest that we have transformed ourselves,
the German people is not longer the people of dishonour, of shame, of war within
itself, of faintheartedness and little faith: no, Lord, the German people has
become strong again in spirit, strong in will, strong in endurance, strong to
bear all sacrifices.' 'Lord, we will not let Thee go: bless now our fight for
our freedom; the fight we wage for our German people and Fatherland.'
-Adolf Hitler, giving prayer in a speech on May Day 1933
This is for us a ground for satisfaction, since we desire that the fight in the
religious camps should come to an end... all political action in the parties
will be forbidden to priests for all time, happy because we know what is wanted
by millions who long to see in the priest only the comforter of their souls and
not the representative of their political convictions.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech to the men of the SA. at Dormund, 9 July 1933 on the
day after the signing of the Concordat.
National Socialism has always affirmed that it is determined to take the
Christian Churches under the protection of the State.... The decisive factor
which can justify the existence alike of Church and State is the maintenance of
men's spiritual and bodily health, for it that health were destroyed it would
mean the end of the State and also the end of the Church.... It is my sincere
hope that thereby for Germany, too, through free agreement there has been
produced a final clarification of spheres in the functions of the State and of
one Church.
-Adolf Hitler, on a wireless on 22 July, the evening before the Evangelical
Church Election
The fact that the Vatican is concluding a treaty with the new Germany means the
acknowledgement of the National Socialist state by the Catholic Church. This
treaty shows the whole world clearly and unequivocally that the assertion that
National Socialism [Nazism] is hostile to religion is a lie.
-Adolf Hitler, 22 July 1933, writing to the Nazi Party (quoted from John
Cornwell's "Hitler's Pope"
Among the congregations of the Protestant confessions there has arisen in the
"German Christians' a movement that is filled with the determination to do
justice to the great tasks of the day and has aimed at a union of the Protestant
state churches and confessions. If this question is not really on the way
towards a solution, in the judgement of history no false or stupid objections
will be able to dispute the fact that this service was rendered by the volkisch
movement at a time when, unfortunately, just as in the Roman Church, many
pastors and superintendents without reason have opposed the national uprising in
the most violent, indeed, often fanatical, way.
-Adolf Hitler, in a radio address on 22 July 1933 to the German people after a
performance of Wagner's Christian allegory Parsifal in Bayreuth. [from Richard
Steigmann-Gall's The Holy Reich]
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 in Berlin on 24 Oct. 1933
[This statement clearly refutes modern Christians who claim Hitler as favoring
atheism.]
I believe that Providence would never have allowed us to see the victory of the
Movement if it had the intention after all to destroy us at the end.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech to old members of the Party at Munich on 8 Nov. 1933
The German Church and the People are practically the same body. Therefore there
could be no issue between Church and State. The Church, as such, has nothing to
do with political affairs. On the other hand, the State has nothing to do with
the faith or inner organization of the Church. The election of November 12th
would be an expression of church constituency, but not as a Church.
-Adolf Hitler, answering C. F. Macfarland about Church & State (in his book, The
New Church and the New Germany)
While we destroyed the Centre Party, 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 on the road which leads to the
establishment of a useful relation and a useful co operation between the Reich
and the two Confessions.
-Adolf Hitler, in his New Year Message on 1 Jan. 1934
Imbued with the desire to secure for the German people the great religious,
moral, and cultural values rooted in the two Christian Confessions, we have
abolished the political organizations but strengthened the religious
institutions.
-Adolf Hitler, speaking in the Reichstag on 30 Jan. 1934
It would have been more to the point, more honest and more Christian, in past
decades not to support those who intentionally destroyed healthy life than to
rebel against those who have no other wish than to avoid disease. Moreover, a
policy of laissez faire in this sphere is not only cruelty to the individual
guiltless victims but also to the nation as a whole.... If the Churches were to
declare themselves ready to take over the treatment and care of those suffering
from hereditary diseases, we should be quite ready to refrain from sterilizing
them.
-Adolf Hitler, in his speech on 30 Jan. 1934
We have experienced a miracle, something unique, something the like of which
there has hardly been in the history of the world. God first allowed our people
to be victorious for four and a half years, then He abased us, laid upon us a
period of shamelessness, but now after a struggle of fourteen years he has
permitted us to bring that period to a close. It is a miracle which has been
wrought upon the German people.... It shows us that the Almighty has not
deserted our people, that He received it into favour at the moment when it
rediscovered itself. And that our people shall never again lose itself, that
must be our vow so long as we shall live and so long as the Lord gives us the
strength to carry on the fight.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech to the "Old Guard" of the Party at Munich on 19
March, 1934
The National Socialist State professes its allegiance to positive Christianity.
It will be its honest endeavour to protect both the great Christian Confessions
in their rights, to secure them from interference with their doctrines
(Lehren ), and in their duties to constitute a harmony with the views and the
exigencies of the State of to-day.
-Adolf Hitler, on 26 June 1934, to Catholic bishops to assure them that he would
take action against the new pagan propaganda
No, it is not we that have deserted Christianity, it is those who came before us
who deserted Christianity. We have only carried through a clear division between
politics which have to do with terrestrial things, and religion, which must
concern itself with the celestial sphere. There has been no interference with
the doctrine (Lehre ) of the Confessions or with their religious freedom
(Bekenntnisfreiheit ), nor will there be any such interference. On the contrary
the State protects religion, though always on the one condition that religion
will not be used as a cover for political ends....
National Socialism neither opposes the Church nor is it anti-religious, but on
the contrary it stands on the ground of a real Christianity.... For their
interests cannot fail to coincide with ours alike in our fight against the
symptoms of degeneracy in the world of to-day, in our fight against a Bolshevist
culture, against atheistic movement, against criminality, and in our struggle
for a consciousness of a community in our national life... These are not
anti-Christian, these are Christian principles! And I believe that if we should
fail to follow these principles then we should to be able to point to our
successes, for the result of our political battle is surely not unblest by God.
-Adolf Hitler, in his speech at Koblenz, to the Germans of the Saar, 26 Aug.
1934
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....
And we know that were the great German reformer [Martin Luther] with us to-day
he would rejoice to be freed from the necessity of his own time and, like Ulrich
von Hutten, his last prayer would be not for the Churches of the separate
States: it would be of Germany that he would think and of the Evangelical Church
of Germany.
-Adolf Hitler, in his Proclamation at the Parteitag at Nuremberg on 5 Sept. 1934
[Note, Martin Luther provided Germany with the seeds of violent antisemitism.
Learn about Martin Luther's dirty little book.
What we are we have become not against, but with, the will of Providence. And so
long as we are true and honourable and of good courage in fight, so long as we
believe in our great work and do not capitulate, we shall continue to enjoy in
the future the blessing of Providence.
-Adolf Hitler, at Rosenheim in Bavaria, 11 Aug. 1935
Only so you can appeal to your God and pray Him to support and bless your
courage, your work, your perseverance, your strength, your resolution, and with
all these your claim on life.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech at Frankfurt on 16 March 1936
In this world him who does not abandon himself the Almighty will not desert. Him
who helps himself will the Almighty always also help; He will show him the way
by which he can gain his rights, his freedom, and therefore his future.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech at Hamburg on 20 March 1936
Providence has caused me to be Catholic, and I know therefore how to handle this
Church.
-Adolf Hitler, reportedly to have said in Berlin in 1936 on the enmity of the
Catholic Church to National Socialism
I believe in Providence and I believe Providence to be just. Therefore I believe
that Providence always rewards the strong, the industrious, and the upright.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech to National Socialist women at the Nuremberg
Parteitag of 1936 [11 Sept. 1936]
So long as they concern themselves with their religious problems the State does
not concern itself with them. But so soon as they attempt by any means
whatsoever-- by letters, Encyclica, or otherwise-- to arrogate to themselves
rights which belong to the State alone we shall force them back into their
proper spiritual, pastoral activity.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech delivered in Berlin on the May Day festival, 1937
We National Socialists, too, have deep in our hearts our own faith. We cannot do
otherwise. No man can mould the history of peoples or of the world unless he has
upon his will and his capacities the blessing of Providence.
-Adolf Hitler, to Nazi leaders on 2 June 1937, as reported by a correspondent of
the "Daily Telegraph"
I will never allow anyone to divide this people once more into religious camps,
each fighting the other....
You, my Brown Guard, will regard it as a matter of course that this German
people should go only by the way which Providence ordained for it when it gave
to Germans the common language. So we go forward with the profoundest faith in
God into the future. Would that which we have achieved have been possible if
Providence had not helped us?
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech at Regensburg on 6 June 1937
If we pursue this way, if we are decent, industrious, and honest, if we so
loyally and truly fulfill our duty, then it is my conviction that in the future
as in the past the Lord God will always help us. In the long run He never leaves
decent folk in the lurch. Often He may test them, He may send trials upon them,
but in the long run He always lets His sun shine upon them once more and at the
end He gives them His blessing.
-Adolf Hitler, at the Harvest Thanksgiving Festival on the Buckeburg held on 3
Oct. 1937
This Winter Help Work is also in the deepest sense a Christian work. When I see,
as I so often do, poorly clad girls collecting with such infinite patience in
order to care for those who are suffering from the cold while they themselves
are shivering with cold, then I have the feeling that they are all apostles of a
Christianity-- and in truth of a Christianity which can say with greater right
than any other: This is the Christianity of an honest confession, for behind it
stand not words but deeds.
-Adolf Hitler, speaking of the Winter Help Campaign on 5 Oct. 1937
Remain strong in your faith, as you were in former years. In this faith, in its
close-knit unity our people to-day goes straight forward on its way and no power
on earth will avail to stop it.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech at Coburg on 15 Oct. 1937
In this hour I would ask of the Lord God only this: that, as in the past, so in
the years to come He would give His blessing to our work and our action, to our
judgement and our resolution, that He will safeguard us from all false pride and
from all cowardly servility, that He may grant us to find the straight path
which His Providence has ordained for the German people, and that He may ever
give us the courage to do the right, never to falter, never to yield before any
violence, before any danger.... I am convinced that men who are created by God
should live in accordance with the will of the Almighty.... If Providence had
not guided us I could often never have found these dizzy paths.... Thus it is
that we National Socialists, too, have in the depths of our hearts our faith. We
cannot do otherwise: no man can fashion world-history or the history of peoples
unless upon his purpose and his powers there rests the blessings of this
Providence.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech at Wurzburg on 27 June 1937
National Socialism is not a cult-movement-- a movement for worship; it is
exclusively a 'volkic' political doctrine based upon racial principles. In its
purpose there is no mystic cult, only the care and leadership of a people
defined by a common blood-relationship.... We will not allow mystically-minded
occult folk with a passion for exploring the secrets of the world beyond to
steal into our Movement. Such folk are not National Socialists, but something
else-- in any case something which has nothing to do with us. At the head of our
programme there stand no secret surmisings but clear-cut perception and
straightforward profession of belief. But since we set as the central point of
this perception and of this profession of belief the maintenance and hence the
security for the future of a being formed by God, we thus serve the maintenance
of a divine work and fulfill a divine will-- not in the secret twilight of a new
house of worship, but openly before the face of the Lord.... Our worship is
exclusively the cultivation of the natural, and for that reason, because
natural, therefore God-willed. Our humility is the unconditional submission
before the divine laws of existence so far as they are known to us men.
-Adolf Hitler, in Nuremberg on 6 Sept. 1938.
[Christians have always accused Hitler of believing in pagan cult mythology.
Here he clearly expresses his stand against cults and reinforces his Christian
views.]
The National Socialist Movement has wrought this miracle. If Almighty God
granted success to this work, then the Party was His instrument.
-Adolf Hitler, in his proclamation to the German People on 1 Jan. 1939
Amongst the accusations which are directed against Germany in the so called
democracies is the charge that the National Socialist State is hostile to
religion. In answer to that charge I should like to make before the German
people the following solemn declaration:
1. No one in Germany has in the past been persecuted because of his religious
views (Einstellung), nor will anyone in the future be so persecuted.... The
Churches are the greatest landed proprietors after the State... Further, the
Church in the National Socialist State is in many ways favoured in regard to
taxation, and for gifts, legacies, &c., it enjoys immunity from taxation.
It is therefore, to put mildly-- effrontery when especially foreign politicians
make bold to speak of hostility to religion in the Third Reich.... I would allow
myself only one question: what contributions during the same period have France,
England, or the United States made through the State from the public funds?
3. The National Socialist State has not closed a church, nor has it prevented
the holding of a religious service, nor has it ever exercised any influence upon
the form of a religious service. It has not exercised any pressure upon the
doctrine nor on the profession of faith of any of the Confessions. In the
National Socialist State anyone is free to seek his blessedness after his own
fashion.... There are ten thousands and ten thousands of priests of all the
Christian Confessions who perform their ecclesiastical duties just as well as or
probably better than the political agitators without ever coming into conflict
with the laws of the State.... This State has only once intervened in the
internal regulation of the Churches, that is when I myself in 1933 endeavoured
to unite the weak and divided Protestant Churches of the different States into
one great and powerful Evangelical Church of the Reich. That attempt failed
through the opposition of the bishops of some States; it was therefore
abandoned. For it is in the last resort not our task to defend or even to
strengthen the Evangelical Church through violence against its own
representatives.... But on one point it is well that there should be no
uncertainty: the German priest as servant of God we shall protect, the priest as
political enemy of the German State we shall destroy.
-Adolf Hitler, a speech in the Reichstag on 30 Jan. 1939
[That last sentence sums up Hitler's stand on the priesthood. Rather than
standing for atheism, as today's Christians would like, Hitler attacked the
priesthood only if they stood in Hitler's political path.]
If positive Christianity means love of one's neighbour, i.e. the tending of the
sick, the clothing of the poor, the feeding of the hungry, the giving of drink
to those who are thirsty, then it is we who are the more positive Christians.
For in these spheres the community of the people of National Socialist Germany
has accomplished a prodigious work.
-Adolf Hitler, in his speech to the "Old Guard" at Munich on 24 Feb. 1939

Hitler's Christianity
To deny the influence of Christianity on Hitler and its role in World War II,
means that you must ignore history and forever bar yourself from understanding
the source of German anti-Semitism and how the WWII atrocities occurred.
By using historical evidence of Hitler's and his henchmen's own words, this
section aims to show how mixing religion with politics can cause conflicts, not
only against religion but against government and its people. This site, in no
way, condones Nazism, Neo-Nazism, fascist governments, or anti-Semitism, but
instead, warns against them.

Hitler's religious beliefs and fanaticism
(Selected quotes from Mein Kampf)
compiled by Jim Walker
Originated: 28 Nov. 1996
Additions made: 07 July 2001
People often make the claim that Adolph Hitler adhered to Atheism, Humanism or
some ancient Nordic pagan mythology. None of these fanciful and wrong ideas
hold. Although one of Hitler's henchmen, Alfred Rosenberg, did undertake a
campaign of Nordic mythological propaganda, Hitler and most of his henchmen did
not believe in it .
Many American books, television documentaries, and Sunday sermons that preach of
Hitler's "evil" have eliminated Hitler's god for their Christian audiences, but
one only has to read from his own writings to appreciate that Hitler's God
equals the same God of the Christian Bible. Hitler held many hysterical beliefs
which not only include, God and Providence but also Fate, Social Darwinism, and
ideological politics. He spoke, unashamedly, about God, fanaticism, idealism,
dogma, and the power of propaganda. Hitler held strong faith in all his
convictions. He justified his fight for the German people and against Jews by
using Godly and Biblical reasoning. Indeed, one of his most revealing statements
makes this quite clear:
"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."
Although Hitler did not practice religion in a churchly sense, he certainly
believed in the Bible's God. Raised as Catholic he went to a monastery school
and, interestingly, walked everyday past a stone arch which was carved the
monastery's coat of arms which included a swastika. As a young boy, Hitler's
most ardent goal was to become a priest. Much of his philosophy came from the
Bible, and more influentially, from the Christian Social movement. (The German
Christian Social movement, remarkably, resembles the Christian Right movement in
America today.) Many have questioned Hitler's stand on Christianity. Although he
fought against certain Catholic priests who opposed him for political reasons,
his belief in God and country never left him. Many Christians throughout history
have opposed Christian priests for various reasons; this does not necessarily
make one against one's own Christian beliefs. Nor did the Vatican's Pope &
bishops ever disown him; in fact they blessed him! As evidence to his claimed
Christianity, he said:
"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It
points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers,
recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them
and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In
boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which
tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive
out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for
the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with
deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it
was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have
no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for
truth and justice... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we
are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I
have also a duty to my own people.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed. The Speeches
of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford
University Press, 1942)
Hitler's anti-Semitism grew out of his Christian education. Christian Austria
and Germany in his time took for granted the belief that Jews held an inferior
status to Aryan Christians. Jewish hatred did not spring from Hitler, it came
from the preaching of Catholic priests and Protestant ministers throughout
Germany for hundreds of years. The Protestant leader, Martin Luther, himself,
held a livid hatred for Jews and their Jewish religion. In his book, "On the
Jews and their Lies," Luther set the standard for Jewish hatred in Protestant
Germany up until World War II. Hitler expressed a great admiration for Martin
Luther.
Hitler did not have to parade his belief in God, as so many American Christians
do now. Nor did he have to justify his Godly belief against an Atheist movement.
He took his beliefs for granted just as most Germans did at that time. His
thrust aimed at politics, not religion. But through his political and religious
reasoning he established in 1933, a German Reich Christian Church, uniting the
Protestant churches to instill faith in a national German Christianity.
Future generations should remember that Adolph Hitler could not have come into
power without the support of the Protestant and Catholic churches and the German
Christian populace.
The following quotes provides some of Hitler's expressions of his belief in
religion, faith, fanaticism, Providence, and even a few of his paraphrasing of
the Bible. It by no means represents the totality of Hitler's concerns. To
realize the full context of these quotes, I implore the reader to study Mein
Kampf.
The purpose of this text intends to dispute the claims made by Christians that
Hitler "was an atheist," or "anti-religious," and to reveal the dangers of
belief-systems. This text in no way attempts to give endorsement to
anti-Semitism.
Quotations from Mein Kampf
Volume 1, Chapter 1, In the House of My Parents
Their sword will become our plow, and from the tears of war the daily bread of
future generations will grow.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Note: "Their sword will become our plow" appears to paraphrase Micah 4:3 about
beating swords into ploughshares, but his tears of war more resembles Joel
3:9-10 "Beat your plowshares into swords."
I had excellent opportunity to intoxicate myself with the solemn splendor of the
brilliant church festivals. As was only natural, the abbot seemed to me, as the
village priest had once seemed to my father, the highest and most desirable
ideal.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
I thank Heaven that a portion of the memories of those days still remains with
me. Woods and meadows were the battlefields on which the 'conflicts' which exist
everywhere in life were decided.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Only a handful of Germans in the Reich had the slightest conception of the
eternal and merciless struggle for the German language, German schools, and a
German way of life. Only today, when the same deplorable misery is forced on
many millions of Germans from the Reich, who under foreign rule dream of their
common fatherland and strive, amid their longing, at least to preserve their
holy right to their mother tongue, do wider circles understand what it means to
be forced to fight for one's nationality.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Volume 1, Chapter 2, Years of Study and Suffering in Vienna
Fate must bring retribution, unless men conciliate Fate while there is still
time. How thankful I am today to the Providence which sent me to that school!
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Thus my faith grew that my beautiful dream for the future would become reality
after all, even though this might require long years.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
The more the linguistic Babel corroded and disorganized parliament, the closer
drew the inevitable hour of the disintegration of this Babylonian Empire, and
with it the hour of freedom for my German-Austrian people.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Not until my fourteenth or fifteenth year did I begin to come across the word
'Jew,' with any frequency, partly in connection with political discussions....
For the Jew was still characterized for me by nothing but his religion, and
therefore, on grounds of human tolerance, I maintained my rejection of religious
attacks in this case as in others. Consequently, the tone, particularly that of
the Viennese anti-Semitic press, seemed to me unworthy of the cultural tradition
of a great nation.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
I was not in agreement with the sharp anti-Semitic tone, but from time to time I
read arguments which gave me some food for thought.
At all events, these occasions slowly made me acquainted with the man and the
movement, which in those days guided Vienna's destinies: Dr. Karl Lueger and the
Christian Social Party.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
(Note: Karl Lueger (1844-1910) belonged as a member of the anti-Semitic
Christian Social Party, he became mayor of Vienna and kept his post until his
death.)
The man and the movement seemed 'reactionary' in my eyes. My common sense of
justice, however, forced me to change this judgment in proportion as I had
occasion to become acquainted with the man and his work; and slowly my fair
judgment turned to unconcealed admiration. Today, more than ever, I regard this
man as the greatest German mayor of all times.
-Adolf Hitler speaking about Dr. Karl Lueger of the Christian Social Party (Mein
Kampf)
How many of my basic principles were upset by this change in my attitude toward
the Christian Social movement!
My views with regard to anti-Semitism thus succumbed to the passage of time, and
this was my greatest transformation of all.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
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)
Volume 1, Chapter 3 General Political Considerations Based on My Vienna Period
A man does not die for something which he himself does not believe in.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
The Western democracy of today is the forerunner of Marxism which without it
would not be thinkable. It provides this world plague with the culture in which
its germs can spread.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Just as a man's denominational orientation is the result of upbringing, and only
the religious need as such slumbers in his soul, the political opinion of the
masses represents nothing but the final result of an incredibly tenacious and
thorough manipulation of their mind and soul.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Sooner will a camel pass through a needle's eye than a great man be 'discovered'
by an election.
-Adolf Hitler with his twist on Mark 10:25 (Mein Kampf)
Thank the Lord, Germanic democracy means just this: that any old climber or
moral slacker cannot rise by devious paths to govern his national comrades, but
that, by the very greatness of the responsibility to be assumed, incompetents
and weaklings are frightened of.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
For by employing religious force in the service of its political considerations,
the crown aroused a spirit which at that outset it had not considered possible.
-Adolf Hitler on the state of Rome (Mein Kampf)
For when a people is not willing or able to fight for its existence-- Providence
in its eternal justice has decreed that people's end.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
the unprecedented rise of the Christian Social Party... was to assume the
deepest significance for me as a classical object of study.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Even less could I understand how the Christian Social Party at this same period
could achieve such immense power. At that time it had just reached the apogee of
its glory.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
But the power which has always started the greatest religious and political
avalanches in history rolling has from time to immemorial been the magic of
power of the spoken word, and that alone.
Particularly the broad masses of the people can be moved only by the power of
speech.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
The hard struggle which the Pan-Germans fought with the Catholic Church can be
accounted for only by their insufficient understanding of the spiritual nature
of the people.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
The root of the whole evil lay, particularly in Schonerer's opinion, in the fact
that the directing body of the Catholic Church was not in Germany, and that for
this very reason alone it was hostile to the interests of our nationality.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Protestantism as such is a better defender of the interests of Germanism, in so
far as this is grounded in its genesis and later tradition; it fails, however,
in the moment when this defense of national interests must take place in a
province which is either absent from the general line of its ideological world
and traditional development, or is for some reason rejected.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Thus, Protestantism will always stand up for the advancement of all Germans as
such, as long as matters of inner purity or national deepening as well as German
freedom are involved, since all these things have a firm foundation in its own
being; but it combats with the greatest hostility any attempt to rescue the
nation from the embrace of its most mortal enemy, since its attitude toward the
Jews just happens to be more or less dogmatically established.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
As long as leadership from above was not lacking, the people fulfilled their
duty and obligation overwhelmingly. Whether Protestant pastor or Catholic
priest, both together and particularly at the first flare, there really existed
in both camps but a single holy German Reich, for whose existence and future
each man turned to his own heaven.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Verily a man cannot serve two masters. And I consider the foundation or
destruction of a religion far greater than the foundation or destruction of a
state, let alone a party.
-Adolf Hitler speaking like Jesus in Matthew 6:24 (Mein Kampf)
Heaven will smile on us again.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Political parties has nothing to do with religious problems, as long as these
are not alien to the nation, undermining the morals and ethics of the race; just
as religion cannot be amalgamated with the scheming of political parties.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
For the political leader the religious doctrines and institutions of his people
must always remain inviolable; or else has no right to be in politics, but
should become a reformer, if he has what it takes!
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
In nearly all the matters in which the Pan-German movement was wanting, the
attitude of the Christian Social Party was correct and well-planned.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
It [Christian Social Party] recognized the value of large-scale propaganda and
was a virtuoso in influencing the psychological instincts of the broad masses of
its adherents.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
The anti-Semitism of the new movement [Christian Social movement] was based on
religious ideas instead of racial knowledge.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
If Dr. Karl Lueger had lived in Germany, he would have been ranked among the
great minds of our people.
-Adolf Hitler speaking about the leader of the Christian Social movement (Mein
Kampf)
Volume 1, Chapter 4, Munich
But the people on top made a cult of the 'ally,' as if it were the Golden Calf.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
(The Golden calf occurs in Exodus 32:1-4)
Mankind has grown great in eternal struggle, and only in eternal peace does it
perish.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
We must, therefore, coolly and objectively adopt the standpoint that it can
certainly not be the intention of Heaven to give one people fifty times as much
land and soil in this world as another.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
....a man does not die for business, but for ideals.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Volume 1, Chapter 5, The World War
Even today I am not ashamed to say that, overpowered by stormy enthusiasm, I
fell down on my knees and thanked Heaven from an overflowing heart for granting
me the good fortune of being permitted to live at this time.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
I had so often sung 'Deutschland u:ber Alles' and shouted 'Heil' at the top of
my lungs, that it seemed to me almost a belated act of grace to be allowed to
stand as a witness in the divine court of the eternal judge and proclaim the
sincerity of this conviction.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Indeed, nearly all attempts to exterminate a doctrine and its organizational
expression, by force without spiritual foundation, are doomed to failure, and
not seldom end with the exact opposite of the desired result...
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Only in the steady and constant application of force lies the very first
prerequisite for success. This persistence, however, can always and only arise
from a definite spiritual conviction. Any violence which does not spring from a
firm, spiritual base, will be wavering and uncertain.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Volume 1, Chapter 6, War Propaganda
I soon realized that the correct use of propaganda is a true art which has
remained practically unknown to the bourgeois parties. Only the Christian-Social
movement, especially in Lueger's time achieved a certain virtuosity on this
instrument, to which it owed many of its success.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Certainly we don't have to discuss these matters with the Jews, the most modern
inventors of this cultural perfume. Their whole existence is an embodied protest
against the aesthetics of the Lord's image.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Volume 1, Chapter 7, The Revolution
More than once I was tormented by the thought that if Providence had put me in
the place of the incapable of criminal incompetents or scoundrels in our
propaganda service, our battle with Destiny would have taken a different turn.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Once again the songs of the fatherland roared to the heavens along the endless
marching columns, and for the last time the Lord's grace smiled on His
ungrateful children.
-Adolf Hitler reflecting on World War I (Mein Kampf)
....we must pray to the Almighty not to refuse His blessing to this change and
not to abandon our people in the times to come.
-Hitler recalling a priest's speech after the defeat of WWI (Mein Kampf)
Volume 1, Chapter 8, The Beginning of My Political Activity
As soon as the theoretician attempts to take account of so-called 'utility' and
'reality' instead of absolute truth, his work will cease to be a polar star of
seeking humanity and instead will become a prescription for everyday life.
-Adolf Hitler reflecting on World War I (Mein Kampf)
The thinking of the one, therefore, will be determined by eternal truth, the
actions of the other more by the practical reality of the moment. The greatness
of the one lies in the absolute abstract soundness of his idea...
-Adolf Hitler reflecting on World War I (Mein Kampf)
The more abstractly correct and hence powerful this idea will be, the more
impossible remains its complete fulfillment as long as it continues to depend on
human beings...
If this were not so, the founders of religion could not be counted among the
greatest men of this earth... In its workings, even the religion of love is only
the weak reflection of the will of its exalted founder; its significance,
however, lies in the direction which it attempted to give to a universal human
development of culture, ethics, and morality.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
For the greater a man's works for the future, the less the present can
comprehend them; the harder his fight, and the rarer success. If, however, once
in centuries success does come to a man, perhaps in his latter days a faint beam
of his coming glory may shine upon him. To be sure, these great men are only the
Marathon runners of history; the laurel wreath of the present touches only the
brow of the dying hero.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
(The metaphors of marathon runners, and the wreath (crown) of the present to
achieve works for the future parallels the thought in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27:
"Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize?
So run, that you may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is
temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an
incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one
that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection:
lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a
castaway.")
To them belong, not only the truly great statesmen, but all other great
reformers as well. Beside Frederick the Great stands Martin Luther as well as
Richard Wagner.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
What we must fight for is to safeguard the existence and reproduction of our
race and our people, the sustenance of our children and the purity of our blood,
the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may mature
for the fulfillment of the mission allotted it by the creator of the universe.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Volume 1, Chapter 10, Causes of the Collapse
Consequently, the value and importance of the monarchic idea cannot reside in
the person of the monarch himself except if Heaven decides to lay the crown on
the brow of the heroic genius like Frederick the Great or a wise character like
William I.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Hastily and indifferently, people tried to pass by the unpleasant truths, as
though by such an attitude events could be undone. No, the fact that our big
city population is growing more and more prostituted in its love life cannot
just be denied out of existence; it simply is so.
....it is said with such terrible justice that the sins of the fathers are
avenged down to the tenth generation. But this applies only to profanation of
the blood and the race.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
(Avenged to the tenth generation appears in Deuteronomy 23:2-3)
Blood sin and desecration of the race are the original sin in this world and the
end of a humanity which surrenders to it.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
How truly wretched was the attitude of pre-War Germany on this one very
question! What was done to check the contamination of our youth in big cities?
What was done to attack the infection and mammonization of our love life? What
was done to combat the resulting syphilization of our people?
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
(Mammonization refers to the New Testament word "mammon" [Matthew 6:24; Luke
16:9,11,13] which alludes to riches, avarice, and worldly gain personified as a
false god)
The fight against syphilis demands a fight against prostitution, against
prejudices, old habits, against previous conceptions, general views among them
not least the false prudery of certain circles.
The first prerequisite for even the moral right to combat these things is the
facilitation of earlier marriage for the coming generation. In late marriage
alone lies the compulsion to retain an institution which, twist and turn as you
like, is and remains a disgrace to humanity, an institution which is damned
ill-suited to a being who with his usual modesty likes to regard himself as the
'image' of God.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
(See Genesis 1:27 for man created in God's image.)
Parallel to the training of the body a struggle against the poisoning of the
soul must begin. Our whole public life today is like a hothouse for sexual ideas
and simulations. Just look at the bill of fare served up in our movies,
vaudeville and theaters, and you will hardly be able to deny that this is not
the right kind of food, particularly for the youth...
Theater, art, literature, cinema, press, posters, and window displays must be
cleansed of all manifestations of our rotting world and placed in the service of
a moral, political, and cultural idea.
-Adolf Hitler sounding like the Moral Majority (Mein Kampf)
But if out of smugness, or even cowardice, this battle is not fought to its end,
then take a look at the peoples five hundred years from now. I think you will
find but few images of God, unless you want to profane the Almighty.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
The works of Mortiz von Schwind, or of a Bo:cklin, were also an inner
experience, but of artists graced by God and not of clowns.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
How widespread the general disunity was growing is shown by an examination of
religious conditions before the War. Here, too, a unified and effective
philosophical conviction had long since been lost in large sections of the
nation. In this the members officially breaking away from the churches play a
less important role than those who are completely indifferent.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
While both denominations maintain missions in Asia and Africa in order to win
new followers for their doctrine-- an activity which can boast but very modest
success compared to the advance of the Mohammedan faith in particular-- right
here in Europe they lose millions and millions of inward adherents who either
are alien to all religious life or simply so their own ways. The consequences,
particularly from a moral point of view, are not favorable.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Also noteworthy is the increasingly violent struggle against the dogmatic
foundations of the various churches without which in this human world the
practical existence of a religious faith is not conceivable.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
The great masses of people do not consist of philosophers; precisely for the
masses, faith is often the sole foundation of a moral attitude. The various
substitutes have not proved so successful from the standpoint of results that
they could be regarded as a useful replacement for previous religious creeds.
But if religious doctrine and faith are really to embrace the broad masses, the
unconditional authority of the content of this faith is the foundation of all
efficacy.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
The attack against dogmas as such, therefore, strongly resembles the struggle
against the general legal foundations of a state, and , as the latter would end
in a total anarchy of the state, the former would end in a worthless religious
nihilism.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Worst of all, however, is the devastation wrought by the misuse of religious
conviction for political ends. In truth, we cannot sharply enough attack those
wretched crooks who would like to make religion an implement to perform
political or rather business services for them.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Volume 1, Chapter 11, Nation and Race
The result of all racial crossing is therefore in brief always the following:
(a) Lowering of the level of the higher race;
(b) Physical and intellectual regression and hence the beginning of a slowly but
surely progressing sickness.
To bring about such a development is, then, nothing else but to sin against the
will of the eternal creator. And as a sin this act is rewarded.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Here, of course, we encounter the objection of the modern pacifist, as truly
Jewish in its effrontery as it is stupid! 'Man's role is to overcome Nature!'
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
(Man's dominion over earth appears in Genesis 1:26)
....the fall of man in paradise has always been followed by his expulsion.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
(See Genesis Chapter 3)
....that is why the prophet seldom has any honor in his own country.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
("For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own
country." John 4:44)
The purest idealism is unconsciously equivalent to the deepest knowledge.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
The Jew has always been a people with definite racial characteristics and never
a religion.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Due to his own original special nature, the Jew cannot possess a religious
institution, if for no other reason because he lacks idealism in any form, and
hence belief in a hereafter is absolutely foreign to him. And a religion in the
Aryan sense cannot be imagined which lacks the conviction of survival after
death in some form. Indeed, the Talmud is not a book to prepare a man for the
hereafter, but only for a practical and profitable life in this world.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
The best characterization is provided by the product of this religious
education, the Jew himself. His life is only of this world, and his spirit is
inwardly as alien to true Christianity as his nature two thousand years previous
was to the great founder of the new doctrine. Of course, the latter made no
secret of his attitude toward the Jewish people, and when necessary he even took
the whip to drive from the temple of the Lord this adversary of all humanity,
who then as always saw in religion nothing but an instrument for his business
existence. In return, Christ was nailed to the cross, while our present-day
party Christians debase themselves to begging for Jewish votes at elections and
later try to arrange political swindles with atheistic Jewish parties-- and this
against their own nation.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
(Great founder here, of course, refers to Jesus. The "whip to drive from the
temple" comes from John 2:15, "And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he
drove them all out of the temple..." Interestingly, Hitler often carried a whip
with him. There's at least one photograph with him posing with a whip in hand in
Werner Maser's "Hitler's Letters and Notes.")
At times of the bitterest distress, fury against him finally breaks out, and the
plundered and ruined masses begin to defend themselves against the scourge of
God.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
(For one example of God's fury and anger, see Isaiah 63)
This game is repeated again and again, and in it the role of the so-called
'German princes' is just as miserable as that of the Jews themselves. These
lords were really God's punishment for their beloved peoples and find their
parallels only in the various ministers of the present time.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
They [German princes] made a pact with the devil and landed in hell.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
If we consider how greatly he has sinned against the masses in the course of the
centuries, how he has squeezed and sucked the blood again and again; if
furthermore, we consider how the people gradually learned to hate him for this,
and ended up by regarding his existence as nothing but punishment of Heaven for
the other peoples, we can understand how hard this shift must be for the Jew.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
First, therefore, he goes about making up to the people for his previous sins
against them. He begins his career as the 'benefactor' of mankind. Since his new
benevolence has a practical foundation, that the left hand should not know what
the right hand giveth; no, whether he likes it or not, he must reconcile himself
to letting as many people as possible know how deeply he feels the sufferings of
the masses and all the sacrifices that he himself is making to combat them.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
(The left/right hand paraphrase derives from Matthew 6:3)
But even more: all at once the Jew also becomes liberal and begins to rave about
the necessary progress of mankind.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
The Jew almost never marries a Christian woman; it is the Christian who marries
a Jewess.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
the personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living
shape of the Jew.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
(The idea of the devil and the Jew came out of medieval anti-Jewish beliefs
based on interpretations from the Bible. Martin Luther, and teachers after him,
continued this "tradition" up until the 20th century.)
With satanic joy in his face, the black-haired Jewish youth lurks in wait for
the unsuspecting girl whom he defiles with his blood, thus stealing her from her
people.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Peoples which bastardize themselves, or let themselves be bastardized, sin
against the will of eternal Providence...
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Providence did not bestow her reward on the victorious sword, but followed the
law of eternal retribution.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
(Eternal retribution comes from Christian doctrinal thought as referring to
eternal hell when one who physically dies in his sins without Christ. Christians
to this day take Hell or the "Lake of Fire" (Rev. 19:20) as real and literal.)
Volume 1, Chapter 12 The First Period of Development of the Nationalist Social
German Worker's Party
Faith is harder to shake than knowledge, love succumbs less to change than
respect, hate is more enduring than aversion, and the impetus to the mightiest
upheavals on this earth has at all times consisted less in a scientific
knowledge dominating the masses than in a fanaticism which inspired them and
sometimes in a hysteria which drove them forward.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
The future of a movement is conditioned by the fanaticism, yes, the intolerance,
with which its adherents uphold it as the sole correct movement, and push it
past other formations of a similar sort.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
....absolute intolerance also provides long growth.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
The greatness of every mighty organization embodying an idea in this world lies
in the religious fanaticism and intolerance with which, fanatically convinced of
its own right, it intolerantly imposes its will against all others.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
The greatness of Christianity did not lie in attempted negotiations for
compromise with any similar philosophical opinions in the ancient world, but in
its inexorable fanaticism in preaching and fighting for its own doctrine.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
No more than a famous master can be replaced and another take over the
completion of the half-finished painting he has left behind can the great poet
and thinker, the great statesman and the great soldier, be replaced. For their
activity lies always in the province of art. It is not mechanically trained but
inborn by God's grace.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
All in all, this whole period of winter 1919-20 was a single struggle to
strengthen confidence in the victorious might of the young movement and raise it
to that fanaticism of faith which can move mountains.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
(Faith can remove mountains appears in 1 Corinth. 13:2)
The characteristic thing about these people is that they rave about old Germanic
heroism, about dim prehistory, stone axes, spear and shield, but in reality are
the greatest cowards that can be imagined. For the same people who brandish
scholarly imitations of old German tin swords, and wear a dressed bearskin with
bull's horns over their heads, preach for the present nothing but struggle with
spiritual weapons, and run away as fast as they can from every Communist
blackjack.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
(The above statement refutes the common impression that Hitler admired ancient
Nordic customs.)
A man who knows a thing, who is aware of a given danger, and sees the
possibility of a remedy with his own eyes, has the duty and obligation, by God,
not to work 'silently,' but to stand up before the whole public against the evil
and for its cure.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
Volume 2, Chapter 1, Philosophy and Party
Thus inwardly armed with confidence in God and the unshakable stupidity of the
voting citizenry, the politicians can begin the fight for the 'remaking' of the
Reich as they call it.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
By helping to raise man above the level of bestial vegetation, faith contributes
in reality to the securing and safeguarding of his existence. Take away from
present-day manki
