More twisted

Hitler considered himself religious, but had only contempt for organized religion and the teachings of the church about Jesus. Hitler had his own private view of Jesus, that of an economic revolutionary and Jew hater. So in some twisted sense Hitler thought he was acting in the tradition of Jesus. If the question is, 'can someone read the New Testament and then go off and do horribly bad things? then the answer is yes. If the question is 'was Hitler in the tradition of mainstream Christianity' then the answer is no.

"When a man gets to the point of identifying himself with Jesus Christ, then he is ripe for an insane asylum."
