211. Making observations, not ad hominem attacks
goblinmonger:
"after the quotation YOU GAVE that says we don't know his POLITICAL BELIEFS, you lecture me that he is known for his "political ideology.""

Just to clarify for you, since you don't get it, there is a public Hitler and a private Hitler. He is known for the ideology of the Nazi state. He is one and the same as the public Hitler. What he expressed in private, or how he actually felt, is more complex, and somewhat unknown, as he would opportunistically use many things to gain and use power.

you:
""Hitler was not known for his theology." He killed millions and millions of Jews. He made it clear that he was doing so because they were an inferior race that killed Jesus. Sounds a lot like theology to me."

It isn't, though. Anti-Semitism was well-grounded in secular German life, dating back hundreds of years. This alone is not theology. Since you don't seem to understand the word meaning:

the·ol·o·gy ( P ) Pronunciation Key (th-l-j)
n. pl. the·ol·o·gies
The study of the nature of God and religious truth; rational inquiry into religious questions.
A system or school of opinions concerning God and religious questions: Protestant theology; Jewish theology.
A course of specialized religious study usually at a college or seminary.

"Show me where Hitler denounces the religion he was raised in, received sacraments in, and killed Jews for. Please show me where that denouncing of religion is. I'll wait right here."

I can show you, but you won't accept it. Table Talk, of course.

Bottom line, his actions. Nothing in his behavior smacks of the teachings of Christ. Not a Christian.

Just atheist agenda talking.
