Know Your History...

"Hitler was a Christian. He will be in heaven.…In the new year, Christians, I urge you to engage with your belief system openly and honestly, and that means without your God glasses on, and examine some of the conclusions it forces you to accept. My hope for you all is that that exploration will enable you to free yourself from your shackles of dogmatism and misinformation, and stop lining the pockets of charletan (sic) snake oil salesmen like Ray Comfort."

Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's minister of propaganda, noted in his diary in 1939:

"The Fuehrer is deeply religious, but deeply anti-Christian. He regards Christianity as a symptom of decay. Rightly so. It is a branch of the Jewish race."

William Shirer was an American journalist, war correspondent, and historian, who wrote The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich a groundbreaking history of Nazi Germany, in chronicling the Nazi regime wrote concerning the Nazi strategy:

"The Nazi regime intended eventually to destroy Christianity in Germany, if it could, and substitute the old paganism of the early tribal Germanic gods and the new paganism of the Nazi extremists. As Bormann, one of the men closest to Hitler, said publicly in 1941, 'National Socialism and Christianity are irreconcilable.'"

He told General Gerhart Engel: "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so."1.
