Let' see, DLL, bigotry means an unfounded prejudice, or unreasonable hatred, does it not?

Since the only thing I am saying is that there is plenty of historical evidence that Hitler was

1) reared as a Catholic

2) had a Christian world view in his prejudice against the Jews

3) got inspiration from Paul and St. John the Baptist

and that

1) Martin Luther was extremely prejudiced against the Jews

2) the Catholic Church has apologized for part of its role in the Holocaust

just what are you basing your accusations upon?

I think it is very comforting for Christians to drag up all that old stuff about pagan Norse crosses and the occult when they talk about Hitler and the Holocaust. But the facts are that almost everyone involved was Christian, and that there was a lot of prejudice against the Jews by Christians in Europe at the time.

That does not by any means imply that all Christians are like Hitler, or that Christianity is always a negative. It simply implies that being a Christian does not in itself always imply goodness of thought or deed. It makes Christianity neutral at best as an influence on behavior, although of course many individual Christians do good works all the time.
