About.com, Austin Cline, Adolf Hitler and the Continued Promulgation of Nazi Propaganda, part 4

The bottom line of all such quotes as those that I provided in the previous segment is that it must be ascertained, defined, what Adolf Hitler meant when he employed theological terminology and why he employed it. The answers are clearly that he defined the terms as that which would support him in his drive towards the purity and grandeur of Germany and Aryan/Germans—I have provided much evidence of this in the various essays found here.

Who was the “Almighty Creator” to whom Adolf Hitler accorded his conduct? The power which granted him the good fortune of being permitted to live at a time when Germany and Aryan/Germans would be purified of the Jewish corruption of their nation and blood? It is this god, the eternal judge, to whom Hitler sang, Deutschland Über Alles—Germany Above All—this was his sincere conviction. In Christian theology the heavenly “songs” consist of, for example:

Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory (Isaiah 6:3).

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come…You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being (Revelation 4:8, 11).

Yet, according to Hitler “songs of the fatherland roared to the heavens” such as Deutschland Über Alles.

Again, we see that this “Creator” assigned a mission that Hitler must fulfill and this was to ensure the necessary security for the existence and increase of the Aryan/German race and people; the maintenance of their racial stock unmixed and the freedom and independence of Germany—again and again and again; his concern, motivation and goal was nation and race. This was his worldview and or “theology.”

It is only in the pure Aryan/Germans that the “images of God” is discernible and so impurity of their blood, lacking to ensure “their racial stock unmixed,” is tantamount to profaning this “Almighty.” This is why miscegenation (interracial mixing) lower the “superior race” and it is this which Hitler sees as “a sin against the will of the Eternal Creator” and this was “a sin this act will be avenged.” This was not a sin against the God of the Bible but against the god of evolution (the evolution to which Hitler adhered; see Hitler’s and Nazism’s Darwinism and Use, Abuse and Misuse of Darwin).

In Adolf Hitler’s view “paradise” is a pure Germany and his concept of original sin, the “expulsion from paradise,” is laying hands on, corrupting, “the highest image of the Lord” which is pure Aryan/German blood, this was “sacrilege.” While this sin is apparently unpardonable, as those already containing impure/mixed blood cannot purify it, redemption will come about by remaking the Reich. This purified Reich will “bow down before a higher god” whose theology consists of considering it “positively a sin against all reason” and “criminal lunacy” to have the “born half-ape” in high positions such as being a lawyer while “members of the highest culture-race must remain in entirely unworthy positions” as it is the Aryan/Germans who are the “most gifted beings.”

Indeed, it was this “Almighty Creator” who created perfectly pure Aryan/Germans and the “original sin” is “racial poisoning.” Note that Adolf Hitler, the supposedly Roman Catholic Christian, is lamenting voluntary celibacy as “obligated and bound by nothing except the injunction of the Church.”
Since the quote whence this came also states, “…the Almighty Creator beings such as He Himself created…” on the website NoBeliefs.com (a website saturated with expressions of that which they believe) Jim Walker posted an article entitled “Hitler's religious beliefs and fanaticism (Selected quotes from Mein Kampf)” and quite predicatively selects only those quotes which are self-servingly convenient for expressions of anti-Christian prejudice. To this quote he comments “‘Beings such as He Himself created,’ shows that Hitler believed in creationism” and later writes, “Here again Hitler shows his belief in a creationist model of human's origin.” Of course, it is left assumed to “creationism” is “creationism” is “creationism.” Yet, we have seen just what Hitler meant by “creation” and it should be further noted that were Jim Walker to not so narrowly select quotes he could have noted that Hitler wrote:

The idea of struggle is as old as life itself, for life is only preserved because other living things perish through struggle. In this struggle, the stronger, the more able, win, while the less able, the weak, lose. Struggle is the father of all things. It is not by the principles of humanity that man lives or is able to preserve himself above the animal world, but solely by means of the most brutal struggle.[1]

Also,

Thus there results the subjection of a number of people under the will, often of only a few persons, a subjection based simply upon the right of the stronger, a right which, as we see in Nature, can be regarded as the sole conceivable right, because it is founded on reason.[2]

These are not “creationist” concepts but Darwinian evolutionary concepts; for more see Atheist and Darwinist Communists and Hitler’s and Nazism’s Darwinism and Use, Abuse and Misuse of Darwin

Yet, the beliefs of NoBeliefs.com and the beliefs of Jim Walker do not end here as he also notes Adolf Hitler’s reference to the “image of God” and comments, “See Genesis 1:27 for man created in God's image.” But why see Genesis when Hitler meant nothing to the likes of the Genesis reference which states that God created both male and female in His image? As we have seen, in Hitlerian terms the “image of God” is only visible in pure Aryan/Germans.

NoBeliefs.com / Jim Walker also believe that Hitler’s following statement “…refutes the common impression that Hitler admired ancient Nordic customs”:

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)

Yet, Hitler is not saying a single word about “Nordic customs”/“old Germanic heroism” in and of themselves but was condemning those who “rave about” them but “in reality are the greatest cowards that can be imagined.” Because while they imitate these they do not actually fight but leave it up to a “struggle with spiritual weapons.”
Such is the lack of discernment of those who seek to condemn Christianity by appealing to Adolf Hitler while merely succeeding in discrediting themselves.

Lastly, note that regardless of denomination, Adolf Hitler preached “the sacred duty” to urging people to “actually fulfill God's will”—which is when we see that for Hitler the “Church” was a tool to be remolded with a theology to be reinterpreted towards his own ends. As we have seen; he does not want to see “God's word be desecrated” so as to destroy “His work” as by doing so they are “declaring war on the Lord's creation, the divine will” which is the restoration of the purity of Aryan/Germans über alles and Deutschland über Alles.

It is readily discernable that within these quotes and the vast corpus of Adolf Hitler’s deeds, writing and speeches (and Nazism’s in general) there is not a shred of true, traditional, original, Biblical, clear and basic Christian theology. What we see is that any theological references are redefined as that which supports the German nation and the Aryan/German people and has an endgame the purity of both.

While many people seem to have merely conducted a keyword search for “God and Hitler”; the context of his words, the redefinition of theological terms and the evidence of his actions demonstrate that whatever Hitler meant by such references they were most certainly not reference to Biblical Christianity or the Bible itself.
