If you want the short answer, check out 28:27 "Religiously, Hitler was a Pseudo-Scientific Evolutionary Pantheist."

This is series is fascinating, given that you are scrutinising the fringe topics which have a disproportionate hold on uneducated emotions, over rely on 1/2 truths and sweeping statements, but are also the templates for high powered influencers to this day. You both model academic mutual respect. I hope you will keep plugging away at this body of work, it a great resource to point people to who are to all intents and purposes are, post-reading and also models how investigation is done.

I have to be honest. I am glad that I did not live in Hitler's time. Unfortunately my grandparents did and my parents. It was horrible. So much pain and suffering people had to endure and even loosing their lives.

The person that saved Hitler in combat did the Christian thing but Hitler turned his back on God

I noticed that you didn't include The Occult Roots of Nazism by Nicholas Goodrich-Clarke in your list of sources in the show notes; I assume that's not a worthy source in this matter. I read parts of that book a few years ago but couldn't make much of it. But Church of Spies by Mark Riebling was an interesting read, for it emphasizes Pius XII's role in World War II (which, if I know your range of reading, I'm sure you'll at least mention that book, as you said that Pius XII will be the subject of a future episode - unless you haven't read it yet, though I suggest it), as well as some of Hitler's views about Christianity and how he treated the Church in Germany.

Is it possible that hitler was a deist

Hitler... I am at a loss for what to say Evil. I am not sure if it was a good thing to talk about him in such a dispassionate way. Why? Because in some weird way he still affects some people in an evil way. Perhaps these people are so broken that they would be negatively affected by any charismatic lunatic. I KNOW that is not what Jimmy wants or intends. I still worry a bit. Treating subjects with reason and clarity is good. But not making a repeated effort to call out Hitler on his evil ways and deeds seems reckless. Jimmy you are the best.

Have you come across any discussion of Hitler's source of his ideology, as being part of the larger western occult wave, (signposted by the Fox sisters) Specifically that his wellspring was Channelling. He is similar to Mhmd in that way, in that he was dominated by his hallucinated voice, and in mortal fear of it. As Mhmmd was initially terrified of being by being squeezed and suffocated by an initially unknown discarnate entity, that a 3rd party informed him was Jbrl. I never come across any evidence that Hitler personally named his voice(s) either? So was Hitler "the medium" and did he also have a shadowy "uncle figure", that interpreted his channeled material to a destructive political purpose? Hollow Earth theory and Theosophy were also grist to his mill evidently. Theosophy's racism is mendaciously white washed these days.

In the 1960's I read a biography on Hitler that said Hitler had applied to join a Catholic Seminary and was turned down witch ignited his anger with the Catholic Church....... 🤔

@noircc Жыл бұрын

Wrong, he wanted to be join the Art school. You can still look at his boring paintings

@Bazerkly Жыл бұрын

Yes I agree with the art school.... My comment regarding Hitler wanting to join a Seminary is something I read over 50 years ago and I am not suggesting it to be factual. Interestingly this autobiography was a book I found in a Catholic Parochial School library....

Never heard that. I read Ian Kershaw's biography of Hitler and can't recall him mentioning this, and he is certainly one of the foremost experts

Hey Jimmy! Hitler is often regarded as the go-to example when talking about people in hell. But I’ve been reading about Aquinas and human action recently, and I’m having trouble understanding how anyone could responsibly choose hell - considering humans act in accord with what they perceive to be good. This is why sinning is impossible in heaven: because we have perfect knowledge of what is good. So isn’t sin due to ignorance? How can anyone, even Hitler, be in hell - if sin is due to lack of knowledge, ignorance, of the good? In other words, as horrible as Hitler was, it doesn’t seem like anyone could deserve hell if sin is due to human error.

There is ignorance and wilful ignorance, you could liken it to all parents thinking that their kid's sports coach is a bit off, but ignoring the obvious because medals

@7Quarryman Жыл бұрын

That no one could deserve hell is borne out in Genesis (Bereshit) 3. Eve answers G-d ' . .He (the serpent) deceived me and I took the fruit'. There is a difference between this assessment of genuine guilt and the need to determine responsibility for actions in the civic realm. With the court system. But not only don't we know the genuine motivation of others we don't even fully know our own. Because we can't separate the external forces that shaped us starting when we were relatively helpless infants from our 'self'.

Dom I'd argue Stalin was far worse

@davidarcudi230 5 жыл бұрын

They were BOTH specifically atheistic totalitarian dictators. They were BOTH bent on world domination and power. They both hated minorities and dissent. Hitler killed 6 to 10 million people; Jews, Catholics etc. Stalin killed 60 million people. Seems Stalin was more successful in evil.

Both Hitler and Stalin wanted complete government control of a disarmed people.

@@davidarcudi230 I put the term "sinister" in the outline, which Dom read. I picked it because I was sensitive to the fact that Stalin was arguably deadlier than Hitler. It seemed to me that "sinister" incorporates a subjective element that could reflect his status in the popular imagination, as opposed to number of people killed or the (humanly inaccessible) question of who was more evil in God's eyes. At least that was the reasoning behind the term.

@Dr. Alan Hales I don't want to be brusque about this, but it doesn't make one think, "This is the kind of serious, responsible, thoughtful, open-minded person who would be a good debate partner," when a person starts spamming your comboxes with off-topic demands for interaction. It especially does not help when the person insists that you're afraid to debate him because you "know" he'll win, when in fact you've never heard of him before (or when he repeatedly misspells your name).
