Well gee, there is nothing linking Nazism to Protestant tradition in Europe either now is there?

I think you miss the point. Naziism was based on evolution as a foundational concept. The same cannot be said for the protestant tradition.

Thanks for the article though...it takes a few political statements by Hitler and shows nicely how he tried to twist scripture to get support from the churches. A little further reading however makes it clear what he really thought of the church.

For instance, from "Hitler's secret conversations" 1953

"National Socialism and religion cannot exist together.... The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. The deliberate lie in the matter of religion was introduced into the world by Christianity.... Let it not be said that Christianity brought man the life of the soul, for that evolution was in the natural order of things."

or

"The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death.... When understanding of the universe has become widespread... Christian doctrine will be convicted of absurdity.... Christianity has reached the peak of absurdity.... And that's why someday its structure will collapse.... ...the only way to get rid of Christianity is to allow it to die little by little.... Christianity the liar.... We'll see to it that the Churches cannot spread abroad teachings in conflict with the interests of the State."

Wow...that sounds like a lot of atheists today doesn't it.....
 

I read an article recently that talked about the Nazi Bible. I guess they are hard to find because most churches got rid of them as quickly as they were shipped. It basically erased Jewish references, had the 12 Commandments, and was manipulated to match Nazi ideology.
 

Yep Chris. I have read about that before. Probably should have mentioned that too. Thanks for mentioning it.
