What has Germany / Nazi Germany and the Holocaust have to do with Christianity?! Millions of Christians got killed during the holocaust, more so than Jews. Hitler himself rejected religion later in life.
If this was really your issue you would have addressed nxplorer, so you only have issues with someone who can present a reason for a verse and not 1 verse at a time.
So you and nxplorer speak your minds and I am preaching......... childish!

Germany was and remains a majority Christian country. The population was none too fond of Jews prior to Hitler. He targeted Christian youth and promised them more opportunities than they would have had, otherwise. otherwise. Most members of the Nazi Party were Christians.
70 million Christian Germans somehow rationalized the execution of millions of Jews, disabled and homosexuals, regardless of geography/ethnicity. No one living in Germany, at the time, could claim they did not know.
Hitler's true agenda eventually became apparent over time; the transformation into a single-minded national state. He turned on Christians as he had done the Jews.
Seems to me there are many similarities between the Holocaust and Terrorists. Both used/use religion as a tool to achieve their goals. They both recruit/recruited youth and offer/offered better wages, opportunities to advance, women than otherwise available.
Both had/have more to do with an intent to transform attitudes and values into a single-minded obedient national state than a religious dogma.

I dunno, I think most jihadis, especially the foot soldiers, really are religiously motivated. As for hitler, I do my best to stay out of his head, so I really don't have an opinion as to whether he was genuinely religious!
Either way, you are right that the end goal is a unitary state with an obedient populace. N korea being a good example of the desired end result...

Hitler was raised Catholic but there is no evidence he practiced any religion as an adult.
Most Nazis were Christians and despised Jews. Hitler recruited youth to execute his plan. Your son used to attend mass on Sunday. Now he tags Jews. If he tags enough Jews he will be promoted and will execute Jews. It was mania, not religion.
Same deal going on now with terrorists. Religion is a tool, the rational, the excuse for barbarism.
Of course. I hate to see what happens when the food shortages really start to hit.
Millions of obese Americans will finally lose some weight
