He praised Christianity to his conservative base, but the way he lived was secular. He thought Christianity was eventually going to have to be eliminated from Germany, and favored Germanic Paganism. He wasn't exactly not a Christian, and wasn't an atheist, but it's not very cut-and-dry. IDK why someone would go with him for this meme and not the Spanish Inquisition or something. Calling him an "evil Christian" and placing him as opposite to MLK implies that Christianity was as important to his beliefs and actions as it was for MLK, who was a minister, and that's just not the case.
He wasn't really trying to be a christian, most of the most deeply ideological nazis weren't. They were into weird Germanic pagan shit, also see Himmler and his weird occultism. They preached christianity to their base because they knew their audience. Golden Dawn recently is another example, their leadership is into weird dodekatheist nonsense and paganism but they started pretending to be orthodox because that's what all their base was into.
Hitler wasn't exactly a Christian.
You're right, Hitler was a catholic.
edit: this is intentionally a shithead statement
Ex-catholic here, you're completely right, catholicism is extremely far from what Jesus stood for.
In Europe it's a business + a safe space for pedophiles and fascists.
It might be a bit better in South America I dunno, liberation theology is alright I guess.
Yeah that's true, but have you seen American protestantism? It's literally the opposite of Christianity

So he was so evil he was also bad at being Christian. Makes sense.

I know I'm just commiting to my username lol
Fight me
what if we did this instead?
:they-were-comrades:
That's only going to upset the Catholics further.
but why? jesus and judas obviously had a thing?
source: I've read the sparknotes for the gospels once
After reading the Bible, I give it 12:1 odds that Jesus wasn't running a sex cult
But the Catholics have always been more into Peter and Paul than that carpenter guy from Bethlehem talking shit about all the Pharisees.
that would be dope ngl
Why not both? I like it rough
