Every Christian in the world should read this quote from Hitler's speech in Munich on April 12, 1922. The Prime Minister of Bavaria had stated that his beliefs "as a man and a Christian" prevented him from being an anti-Semite or pursuing anti-Semitic polices (also notable that he say "man" and "Christian"). But this is how Hitler responded to him ... "I would like here to appeal to a greater than I, Count Lerchenfeld. He said in the last session of the Landtag that his feeling 'as a man and a Christian' prevented him from being an anti-Semite. I say: My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. As a Christian, I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice." In a 1928 speech he added ... "We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity ... in fact our movement is Christian." Christians, if you want to be honest, Hitler saw what he did to the Jews as consistent with his Christian faith and Christ's mission, as finishing the fight that Jesus started. His actions were supported by his beliefs. So when you use him as an example, be honest enough to admit that he was on your side as a warrior for Christ. You look stupid when you try to ignore the history we can all read for ourselves. Hitler was most definitely a warped mind, but that warped mind was in some part a product of his Christian beliefs.

This part made me go wtf: "[...] It points me to the man [Jesus] who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth!"

Andrew, you can argue all day long about whether the Church supported the Nazis and the Holocaust, but there is a simple fact that condemns them beyond all question. After the Allies had defeated the Nazis in Europe, and the regime had collapsed, they sought to round up as many War Criminals as they could to put them on trial. The Church ran The Rat Line, which was an escape route to help Nazis flee prosecution and escape capture by the Allies. This was after they had lost power, so they weren't being forced to comply and it was after the knowledge of the Death Camps came out, so they can't claim ignorance!

Since citations came up so much, I'll mention that while the Catholic Church did spread antisemitism from the pulpit for centuries, most of the conspiracy theories that the Nazis spread about the Jews came from an Eastern Orthodox Christian source, which was a propaganda pamphlet called "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," which originated in Russia (exact authorship unknown), circa 1902-1904. The document was circulared heavily throughout Europe at the time, and Hitler ran with some of its hateful claims in the 1920s when he wrote Mein Kamph, particularly the baseless claim that the Jews were all part of a secret plot to control the world's banking system as a means of achieving world domination. It's not that the Catholics can be held blameless here... the spirit of what Jimmy is saying holds up, they just weren't the direct source from which Hitler derived his most evil and absurd ideas about the Jews.

I love you, Jimmy! Greetings from an ex-mo grandma.

[@o-hogameplay185]

i haven't watched it yet, but judgeing by the title, yeah. not like chiristianity in europe alone killed 100s of millions, or even billions of people, while giving pain and suffering to even more...

[@amawordie8633]

Never saw Jimmy loose it before. Epic!!

[@IDreamOfLogic]

It's been a while since I last heard "THAT'S THE F*ING POINT!". You need to bring back that sound clip, Jimmy. GFY!

[@artje123]

This is absolutely monumental. Jimmy ranting at this guy and the Catholic Church is the greatest final ever on an atheist debate.. he exposes the hypocrisy so well good job

[@waggyquack974]

A five star rant from Jimmy at the end. Awesome and highly entertaining. Keep it up Jimmy, this will bring in the viewers.

[@herbertpronk6709]

Such a strong debater, Jim is. Whipping poor Andrew with facts.

[@gazzman4264]

Absolutely excellent Jimmy. I love the way you get points across logically. It's not hard to land points based on having logic, facts and evidence. It's not much fun debating those whose only evidence is utter rubbish.

[@edluckenbill9382]

Jimmy actually knows his history very nice

[@DavidGregory-qw4ws]

For jimmy snow to not completely lose his mind like this woth every theist caller is way beyond me

[@annnoelanders3514]

Thanks Jimmy , I really enjoyed this…🇧🇪

[@Kattlarv]

This reminds me a lot of when I expose criminals... It goes in a circle of contradiction and hypocrisy too... Often ending in "You are correct, BUT: You are rude. And I'm more famous."

[@stevelundt6498]

In my catholic elementary school back in the 1970’s we had a prayer for the conversion of the Jews. It was such a passive aggressive way to hate and dehumanize.

[@Sal.K--BC]

25:07 Jimmy, speaking of WW2, says that Germans were "almost entirely at this point Catholic". But, that's incorrect. According to wikipedia: "A census in May 1939, indicates that 54% of the population considered itself Protestant, 41% considered itself Catholic, 3.5% self-identified as Gottgläubig (lit. "believing in God"), and 1.5% as 'atheist'. Protestants were over-represented in the Nazi Party's membership and electorate, and Catholics were under-represented."

[@treyvoncarter4452]

I've been watching these videos while at work, how is it possible andrew can call in so often and leave without learning a single thing from you guys? It's almost impressive.

[@jaspersheridan1710]

Jimmy is so concise here that it’s actually pleasurable to listen to/watch!

[@matildastanford7019]

12:20. We, humanity, have never "gotten rid of religion" like Ever!

[@evangelicalsnever-lie9792]

4:14 "talking bad about religion doesn't help the problem." And? I'm not here to help religion and its horrid "problems." I'm here to expose religion for what it is, and to hold it responsible for the evil it does. Why would an atheist want to help those who hate them and want their destruction?

[@giannaleng1897]

It almost feels like the “bringing up racism is divisive and makes racism worse so stop talking about racism” argument 🤔

[@somepublic]

Andrew, do you have a specially made tractor to move those goalposts around or do you just brute force it?

[@undrwatropium3724]

Someone give them a gold medal for those mental gymnastics

[@jaymorgan7728]

Jimmy's vocal cords were begging for mercy by the end of this call.

[@patdaveydrums]

Thank you Jimmy

[@wolfblade]

I know this was a challenging call Jimmy, but at the same time, this is the root of the problem. This level of cognitive dissonance is more the norm than an exception. So how can we help anyone even think about their position when their thoughts are this fragmented? I see the same when discussing evolution, flat earth, etc. I think it is why to us it feels like they are always moving the goal post, but I am starting to realize that their own thoughts are a super position and they can’t even see when they have to bounce back and forth between then.

[@RichardRoy2]

This was a really good one. Thanks Jimmy.

[@herbevans2727]

Nice rant Jimmy 👍

[@GoodieWhiteHat]

Wow Jimmy, that was great. Very interesting information.

[@ChannelMath]

um, isn't the fact that the church apologized for all these things the proof that they were on the wrong side??

[@coletrickle1775]

It isn't the proof, but it is an admission they acknowledge they were.

[@tsunomat]

This is the best Jimmy clip ever.

[@RavenBlakk]

You kill me , bro....that was fucking awesome ❤

[@jtchapman75]

Bro got you all squeaky at the end, lol. Keep preaching the truth.
