Nazism is not a religion. Its national socialism. A political idealogy. The Anti-Semitism was based on the white nationalism, Master race concept that Hitler propagandized. Anti-Semitism is not a religious conflict with Jews. Its the nature of being Jewish, that is hated in Anti-Semitism.Anti-Semitic people dont really care about Judaism as such. They just hate Jewish people because they stereotype them in ways that they think is evil. Thats Xenophobia and Racism, not religious hatred.

Secondly I have read the Mein Kampf. It talks about his childhood, his life in Vienna, his Anti-Semitism or rather his justification for his hatred of the Jews, Nation and race principle and more importantly German Nationalism that he was extremely passionate about. Religion is just a small part of it. Infact there is a set of transcripts called Hitlers Table Talk where he seems to have negative views of Christianity. In his speeches and books however he spoke positively about Christianity, sought to eliminate "Jewish elements" from Christianity and tried to instill Nazi principles.

Now Hitlers extreme Anti-Semitism, was not because he hated Judaism. It stems from the defeat of Germany in 1918. Jews had played a major role in overthrowing the monarchy that caused WW1. So his view that liberal, communist and socialist and in other words, Jews caused Germany's defeat not on the battlefield but from within, caused him to Hate Jews. Because of his passion for German Nationalism. Therefore he decided to eliminate the Jews because he believed they were inferior and that they didnt have a place in the Third Reich and that if they lived, they would poison the nation from within.
Infact his anti-Semitism back then was nothing different from what the rest of Europe felt. He was simply voicing public opinion. Anti-Semitism has long been an European tradition, and you can see it to this day in Europe amongst predominantly leftist countries like Sweden, Norway, France etc.., where Israel has a very poor rating. On top of people believing in conspiracy theories that Jews control the world, promote multiculturalism (feature of white nationalism) etc etc.,

For example in the Mein Kampf he says:

“For the Jew was still characterized for me by nothing but his religion, and therefore, on grounds of human tolerance, I maintained my rejection of religious attacks in this case as in others. Consequently, the tone, particularly that of the Viennese anti-Semitic press, seemed to me unworthy of the cultural tradition of a great nation”.

Therefore WW2 had everything to do with German Nationalism, Racism and the establishment of the Third Reich. It had nothing to do with Religion.

Oh and BTW, Hebrew beliefs? Christianity, Judaism and Islam are all Abrahamic faiths aka "Hebrew beliefs".

Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.
-*CENSORED* (Mein Kampf)

Right out of the book. Now do you seriously want to argue that this wasn't because of religion??? Because i can all week with you. I have met people who personally knew Hitler, I feel i have good idea what kind of person he was.

Point taken.

But you said that the holocaust started before the war.

Prelude-means before

Yes. Just because someone says Am doing the will of the almighty creator does not mean he is a bible thumper doing it because of religion. Especially WW2. Saying so is the height of ignorance. FFS. And you can argue all week with me, Ill gurarantee you that you will lose. And saying you have MET people who knew Hitler, is BSing people here. People here arent fools.

There is far more in the Mein Kampf that gives you reasons for WW2. And the reason solely was German Nationalism. Everything else stemmed from it.

for me i think it doesn't matter if he is real or fake. only thing matters is faith in his name. no matter what you call him. believing in him gives you a power in tough time. knowing he will save you. that makes a man a lot more stronger from inside. he can enjoy his life as he wants. as kid plays more freely. when his parent is around. so its the faith and believe in him. when nothing works your way , his name gives you power to stand up again.

i prefer to believe in science, the real world is so much more unbelievably believable that even raw facts and data can paint a world more vivid then to say some being created it.

its not materialism, its a simple humbling understanding that we are stardust, that we eat stardust, breathe stardust, defecate stardust, parts of us require the force of supernovae to spread across the universe. cause that stardust aint getting out otherwise.

"god did it" takes away a lot of the splendour, makes the reality of it all less magical and more fantasy.

which is cooler, the earth beneath us was the coalescing of trillions of mini blocks and billions of kilos of stardust or the slain body of the frost giant ymir attached to the tree yggdrassil or carved out of the void by the rainbow serpent or thought and spoken into existence over 7 days by bearded magic being?

stardust. stardust all the way. that and because it actually makes sense. be awed by nature. its there to awe you. humble you. inspire you.


anyone get the following reference?
its turtles all the way down guys.

You don't have to believe in a religion to use it as an excuse. And yes i met someone who knew Hitler. She was a German national who moved here in the 80s. She was a friend of Hitlers wife. I didn't know her very well, but i did know her.

And yes, Mein Kampf may have been based around German nationalism however there was allot of references to God. God may not have been the largest reason, but it was A reason. I am not saying it was the only reason, it was one of many.
