Atheism isn't a set belief system, so Hitler being atheistic (actually nazists had strong connections to Catholicism) doesn't have anything to do with other atheists. Hitler was a nazi that had a belief system that a lot of people had a lesser value than some others. This is sadly a view he shared with many religions as well.

lol calm down hitler being an atheist doesn't make you a terrible person by proxy

"There is some limited information to suggest Hitler was a pagan"

correct and what was the object of worhip of just about all of the pagan religions? the sun? lol yes but that was at the start of these religions eventually these people came to worship the sun as a metaphor for the intellect of man

in other words the old pagan religions became atheistic they ultimately worshiped the intellect of man as god

this is where the story of adam and eve came from 

adam and eve originally are ignorant and lack knowledge however after the light bearer or lucifer interacts with them they them gain access to the intelliect or the light

anyway does your admission that hitler was probably a pagan not contradict your claim that he was a christian? does that not tell you something? lol

its amazing to me that you could really believe that hitler was a christian when for one the main symbol associated with him is obviously pagan in nature

the swastika and the winged sun disk   if he was christian why adopt this over the cross?

the swastika has a history that is estimated around 12000 years 

and the winged sun disk has also been present through history 

the idea of the super race or the super man is also rooted in the occult these are all things any one can look up if they are interested enough 

the connection of these things to the nazi movement in germany and also to hitler is too long to post here 

as for the evidence that he is christian well that appears to conflict with the evidence that suggests he's pagan whether one believes one or the other depends on their own discretion

i will concede that his quotes and his apparent promotion of christianity is interesting and i cannot at the moment explain this but to me to call the nazi movement a christian movement is silly for obvious reasons

edit: i'd also add that catholicism was a perversion of the old christian religion because it was combined with pagan beliefs to produce one religion for  both groups of people

this is why the connections between egyptian beliefs and chrisitianity i spoke of earlier exist in the first place

and i'm not saying this to imply that as a result i believe that the nazi movement was christian because that is demonstrably nonsense

Hitler may or may not have been Christian, but there is no doubt that he was a religious person, drawing inspiration from both Nordic mythology and paganism. His promotion of Catholicism was obvious, but it could also be part of the PR.

The Old Testament shouldn't be ignored but it needs to be considered in conjunction with the New Testament.  As a Catholic, I believe that the interpretation of the Pope when it is supported in unison by the bishops forms an infallible interpretation of the bible.  Because the Catholic Church compiled the books of the bible, it retains ultimate authority over its interpretation (note that a single person doesn't have authority, but only the pope when supported in unison by the bishops).  Ultimately, this is still a matter of faith since there is no way to prove that the Catholic Church is infallible without referring to scripture.  That said, this is how hundreds of millions of Christians resolve the conflict between the Old and New Testament that you are describing above.  This is why a Catholic could never possibly justify terrorism.

Words cannot interpret themselves.  This is why our governments appoint courts to interpret the word of the law.  We can and should read the law and obtain insight from it, but ultimately the courts have authority over it's interpretation.  It's no different with the bible and the Catholic Church.  We can and should read the bible, but when our interpretation conflicts with the official teachings of the Church, we can trust that the Church's teachings will provide us with the proper guidance.

All I am trying to show here is that religion is less of "a mess" then you might think it is.  There are very real ways to avoid improper interpretations for those who really do seek the truth.

lol calm down hitler being an atheist doesn't make you a terrible person by proxy

No, but it does make for a dishonest attempt to associate atheism with Naziism, and it is blatantly false.

"There is some limited information to suggest Hitler was a pagan"

Ok.  What does this have to do with atheism?  Atheism is a rejection of anything, usually supernatural, which does not have evidence backing it.  An atheist may or may not worship the intellect of man, but that would be independent of him being an atheist or not.

in other words the old pagan religions became atheistic they ultimately worshiped the intellect of man as god

Ummmmm... no?  Some pagans became atheists as they gained knowledge.  But, the path goes from Paganism to Christianity as the Romans converted to Christianity. Paganism was generally incorporated into the Catholic Church.  Again, atheists do not worship the intellect of man.  They do not, as a rule, worship anything. 

this is where the story of adam and eve came from 

adam and eve originally are ignorant and lack knowledge however after the light bearer or lucifer interacts with them they them gain access to the intelliect or the light

I do not see how this connects to atheism.  It seems to show that  Judaism and by extension Christianity are based on Paganism, not atheism.

anyway does your admission that hitler was probably a pagan not contradict your claim that he was a christian? does that not tell you something? lol

 I didn't say that Hitler was probably a pagan.  I said there was limited evidence to suggest he may have been a pagan.  In many cases there are pieces of evidence on two sides of an argument.  It is possible that Hitler was also influenced by both pagan ideas and christianity.

its amazing to me that you could really believe that hitler was a christian when for one the main symbol associated with him is obviously pagan in nature

the swastika and the winged sun disk   if he was christian why adopt this over the cross?

He actually speaks of this, and part of the reason is aesthetics.  At any rate using a symbol does not necessarily endorse that religion.  The red cross is an agnostic organization that uses the cross (and crescent) as their symbol. Furthermore, Hitler needed a symbol that would solely be associated with Nazi Germany, so using a symbol associated with Christianity as a whole would not have made sense.  Naziism also used Christianity in other contexts.  For example, God With Us, on each Nazi uniform.

Of course, you can use this to support the idea that Hitler was a pagan, but it is hardly defining evidence, and it has to be weighed against everything else.

Interesting, but really irrelevant to this.  The use of that symbol is some evidence but hardly definitive.

as for the evidence that he is christian well that appears to conflict with the evidence that suggests he's pagan whether one believes one or the other depends on their own discretion

Possibly, but it is also possible that he took ideas from both sources.  At any rate, it is clear he was not an atheist, which was the original point I was making.

i will concede that his quotes and his apparent promotion of christianity is interesting and i cannot at the moment explain this but to me to call the nazi movement a christian movement is silly for obvious reasons

I did not say that the Nazi movement was a Christian movement, but that Hitler was most likely a Chrisitian.  While there was a lot of use of Christianity to support it, it was by and large, a nationalistic movement.

edit: i'd also add that catholicism was a perversion of the old christian religion because it was combined with pagan beliefs to produce one religion for  both groups of people

Then that would perfectly explain why Hitler would be influenced by both Pagan and Christian beliefs, would it not?

this is why the connections between egyptian beliefs and chrisitianity i spoke of earlier exist in the first place

and i'm not saying this to imply that as a result i believe that the nazi movement was christian because that is demonstrably nonsense

I didn't say, or mean to imply, that Naziism was a Christian movement.  But, it is blatantly false to claim that Hitler was an atheist, because, as you seem to agree with here, he most certainly was not.

It's entirely plausible that the Paganism was simply a method Hitler devised to entice/control the population.  Much of the sybolism was derived from nordic mythology (the symbols for the SS is from Runes, isn't it?).  Sure, there are examples of other symbolism taken from far reaching belief sets, but there was a ton of nordic in there.  

It wouldn't really surprise me if they realized they could draw in more people by adopting ancient nordic beliefs and twisting it with other things, just enough so that the citizens of the area recognize and be more accepting of it.

It's fairly common for pagan or ancient symbols to be used more as a sign of tradition than beliefs.  The dollar sign is based off of the pillars of Hercules.  So, I agree it's not necessarily a sign of Hitler holding Pagan ideals, but I don't know enough about Hitler's views on Paganism to really comment.

Yeah I wasn't really making any truth claims there, sorry if it came across that way.  It was meant more as a question to you (since I can pretty much depend on you taking care of any long rebuttals w/ sources, in this particular debate), and was curious if you had any knowledge on the matter.  I definitely agree about old symbolism being used in everything, though.

Eh... for me, I've looked a bit into Hitler's views on Christianity and Atheism, because it's frequently used as a way to show that Atheism, or more accurately Darwinism, leads to eating babies.

At any rate, the Swastika was the symbol of the Nazi party as of 1920.  Hitler did not implement it, I don't believe because he was not yet the Chairman, but he did decide to use it for the flag.  The Nazi movement was about German pride, so they incorporated a lot of older German pagan beliefs, and it was a symbol of Nordic heritage they believed they had.  It's unclear whether they actually believed in any of it.

Hitler distanced himself from paganism as his reign went on, but it's not really clear if this was based on beliefs, or simply because he felt Christianity would be more effective in promoting his goals.  There aren't that many comments reportedly made in private to really suggest Hitler believed in paganism, so the idea that he was a pagan seems unlikely.

Agreed, it's a common talking point so in that same light, I've learned allot about what's known about him through a few books, discussions and peripheral research/double checking.
