[QUOTE="Naofumi, post: 47424, member: 39"] ON RELIGION Among other calumnies, Hitler is often portrayed as a godless atheist, a devil worshipper, the antichrist, or some kind of maniacal pagan. In fact he was none of these. Rather, Hitler was broadly supportive of Christianity. He called it "the Religion of Love," and referred to Jesus, indirectly, as its "sublime founder" (volume 1 , chapter 8). He argued that the masses are not and cannot be philosophical; their ethics must come from traditional religious sources. And he believed in separation of church and state: "political parties have no right to meddle in religious questions" (chapter 1 0). In chapter 1 1 , he condemned the Jews because they mock religion, and portray ethics and morality as "antiquated sentiment." His view on God is quite intriguing. Frequently he refers to a kind of cosmic deity or divine power, but in a variety of unconventional terms. We find many references, for example, to Schicksal-fate or destiny. In chapter 5 we read of the "Goddess of Destiny" (Schicksalgottin ). in chapter 7 he writes of "Providence" ( Vorsehung), "Doom" or "Fate" ( Verhangnis ), and "the Lord" (Herrn). Elsewhere we find reference to "Chance" (Zufall) and ''the eternal Creator".(ewigen Schop/er). Volume one closes with a reference to "the Goddess of Inexorable Vengeance" (die Gottin der unerbittlichen Rache). These are not mere metaphors. It seems to be a kind ofrecognition of higher powers in the cosmos, but not those of traditional religions. In the end, Hitler was most appalled by crude materialism: the quest for money and material power. This view has no concept of idealism, no notion of spirituality, no vision of higher powers in the universe. Materialism was the essence of both Marxism and capitalism-and both were embodied in the Jew. That's why these things are the mortal enemy of anyone seeking higher aims in life. Hitler himself was no fan of religious dogma, but seems to have envisioned a future that moved toward a new kind of spirituality, one aligned with the workings of nature. We may perhaps best view him as a 'spiritual but not religious' sort of person-a view that is notably widespread today. ON THE JEWS If nothing else, Hitler is inevitably depicted as a confessed anti-Semite and Jew-hater. We should be clear: this is absolutely true. There are many [/QUOTE]
