Evidence Piece #2

Hitler spoke, unashamedly, about God, fanaticism, idealism, dogma, and the
power of propaganda. Hitler held strong faith in all his convictions. He justified his fight
for the German people and against Jews by using Godly and Biblical reasoning.Jewish
hatred did not spring from Hitler, it came from the preaching of Catholic priests and
Protestant ministers throughout Germany for hundreds of years. The Protestant leader,
Martin Luther, himself, held a livid hatred for Jews and their Jewish religion. In his book,
"On the Jews and their Lies," Luther set the standard for Jewish hatred in Protestant
Germany up until World War II. Hitler expressed a great admiration for Martin Luther.
His thrust aimed at politics, not religion. But through his political and religious reasoning
he established in 1933, a German Reich Christian Church, uniting the Protestant
churches to instill faith in a national German Christianity.
The following quotes provides some of Hitler's expressions of his belief in
religion, faith, fanaticism, Providence, and even a few of his paraphrasing of the Bible. It
by no means represents the totality of Hitler's concerns. To realize the full context of
these quotes, I implore the reader to study Mein Kampf.
Only a handful of Germans in the Reich had the slightest conception of the eternal and
merciless struggle for the German language, German schools, and a German way of
life. Only today, when the same deplorable misery is forced on many millions of
Germans from the Reich, who under foreign rule dream of their common fatherland and
strive, amid their longing, at least to preserve their holy right to their mother tongue, do
wider circles understand what it means to be forced to fight for one's nationality.

Not until my fourteenth or fifteenth year did I begin to come across the word 'Jew,' with
any frequency, partly in connection with political discussions.... 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. How many of my basic principles
were upset by this change in my attitude toward the Christian Social movement .!My
views with regard to anti-Semitism thus succumbed to the passage of time, and this was
my greatest transformation of all. My views with regard to anti-Semitism thus
succumbed to the passage of time, and this was my greatest transformation of all.
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.
Just as a man's denominational orientation is the result of upbringing, and only the
religious need as such slumbers in his soul, the political opinion of the masses
represents nothing but the final result of an incredibly tenacious and thorough
manipulation of their mind and soul. But the power which has always started the
greatest religious and political avalanches in history rolling has from time to immemorial
been the magic of power of the spoken word, and that alone. Particularly the broad
masses of the people can be moved only by the power of speech.
The hard struggle which the Pan-Germans fought with the Catholic Church can be
accounted for only by their insufficient understanding of the spiritual nature of the
people The root of the whole evil lay, particularly in Schonerer's opinion, in the fact that

the directing body of the Catholic Church was not in Germany, and that for this very
reason alone it was hostile to the interests of our nationality.
As long as leadership from above was not lacking, the people fulfilled their duty and
obligation overwhelmingly. Whether Protestant pastor or Catholic priest, both together
and particularly at the first flare, there really existed in both camps but a single holy
German Reich, for whose existence and future each man turned to his own heaven.
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

Verily a man cannot serve two masters. And I consider the foundation or destruction of a
religion far greater than the foundation or destruction of a state, let alone a party.
-Adolf Hitler speaking like Jesus in Matthew 6:24 (Mein Kampf)
Heaven will smile on us again Political parties has nothing to do with religious
problems, as long as these are not alien to the nation, undermining the morals and
ethics of the race; just as religion cannot be amalgamated with the scheming of political
parties
For the political leader the religious doctrines and institutions of his people must always
remain inviolable; or else has no right to be in politics, but should become a reformer, if
he has what it takes!
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
