"Hitler was no Christian. He hated Christianity."
Not only are you in that river in Egypt, and not just clutching at straws, but are scrabbling to grab the last particle of straw dust, over your extremely pathetic attempt at disassociation between you right-wing Fundmentalist Christians, and Nazism.

'Today Christians ... stand at the head of [this country] ... I pledge that I never will tie myself to parties who want to destroy Christianity ... We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit ... We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theater, and in the pressin short, we want to burn out the poison of immorality which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of liberal excess during the past ... [few] years.'
-The Speeches of Adolph Hitler, 19221939, Vol. 1 (London, Oxford University Press, 1942), pp. 871872.
'I say: my feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Saviour 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 the fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as sufferer but as 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 of adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever beforethe 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 as a man I have the duty to see to it that human society does not suffer the same catastrophic collapse as did the civilization of the ancient world some two thousand years agoa civilization which was driven to its ruin through this same Jewish people.'
-Adolf Hitler, Munich speech of April 12, 1922
'I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator. By warding off the Jews I am fighting for the Lord's work.'
-Speech before the Reichstag, 1936

Hitler hated Atheists. You right-wing Fundamentalist Christians hate Atheists.
Hitler hated black people (Jesse Owens, 1936 Berlin Olympics). You right-wing Fundamentalist Christians hate Obama.
Hitler hated abortion. You right-wing Fundamentalist Christians hate abortion.
Hitler hated Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" so much he had it not only banned in his Third Reich, but burned. You right-wing Fundamentalist Christians want all books that aren't your precious KJV banned and burned.
Hitler was a right-winger [/Reverse Godwin]
Deal with it.

"@ConservativeCommunist
Every atheist I've ever known (and religious people too) don't judge an entire group based on the worst among them."
Quakers. Amish/Mennonites. Unitarian Universalists. Your normal, average Anglicans (such as my best friend). There's Christians who are commenters here in FSTDT. And more power to them, says I. Then there's the likes of hinckley buzzard, the diametric opposite of the above.
Opposites. Such as BBC News/Reuters. Faux News.
Similarly, Gandhi. Lech Walesa. Vaclav Havel. Nelson Mandela.
Mao Zedong. Stalin. Genghis Khan. Pol Pot. Kim Il-sung/Jong-il. Hitler.
Would it kill Faux News to be like BBC News? Would it have killed Hitler to be more like Gandhi?
I love the smell of annihilated arguments in the morning. Smells like... victory.
