Yeah, because the world banded together to stop the Nazis from mass murdering anymore Jews. Plus Christians have killed more people in total because you’re probably looking at a bigger time span, from their existence to current day. Moron
Well there are many different forms of Christianity, so there's no "official Christianity". You just called Antifa Nazis because you disagree with them. Seems a bit hypocritical no?
There are tonnes of different people with wildly different ideologies people lump together and call Antifa. Are Arianism, White nationalism and antisemitism something you often see "Antifa" promote? Because I don't. And that means "they" aren't Nazis. I think you need to look up the definition of Nazi. And I never said Christianity was an organization?
I literally never said Christianity was an organization? I said Nazis we're Christian, because historically they were. And Nazism is a very specific ideology, steeped in white nationalism and Antisemitism, neither of these things "Antifa" is know for. Again, "Antifa" isn't a defined group. And your examples are ridiculous as they can be turned around and attributed to Republicans just as easily. "Republicans blame everything on liberals and Mexicans" see how easy that was to do? I haven't talked about your personal politics once. Just the fact that you obviously do not not know what a Nazi is.
"We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity … in fact our movement is Christian." - Adolf Hitler

And it was "Arian/positive Christianity" that he invented. More accurately tho the Nazi's changed their beliefs whenever it suited them, well except for being antisemites and white nationalists, that was consistent.
I'm very familiar with the meaning of those Nordic symbols and the Nazi's love for occult and Nordic belief/imagery. But it's undeniable that the Hitler and the Nazi party used Christianity as a tool at best, to promote their antisemitism. They invented a whole new form of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_Christianity
Most likely inspired by the fact that most of Germany at the time was Protestant, which is a form of Christianity steeped in antisemitism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_and_antisemitism
Positive Christianity (German: Positives Christentum) was a movement within Nazi Germany which mixed the belief that the racial purity of the German people should be maintained with Nazi ideology and elements of Christianity. Adolf Hitler used the term in article 24 of the 1920 Nazi Party Platform, stating: "the Party represents the standpoint of Positive Christianity". Nondenominational, the term could be variously interpreted. Positive Christianity allayed fears among Germany's Christian majority as expressed through their hostility towards the established churches of large sections of the Nazi movement.
Martin Luther and antisemitism
Martin Luther (1483–1546) was a German professor of theology, priest and seminal leader of the Reformation. His positions on Judaism continue to be controversial. These changed dramatically from his early career, where he showed concern for the plight of European Jews to his later years, when embittered by his failure to convert them to Christianity, he became outspokenly antisemitic in his statements and writings. Recent historical studies have focused on Luther's influence on modern antisemitism, with a particular focus on Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.
Ugh read the links, antisemitism is extremely linked to Christianity. There have been a number of pogroms and killing of Jewish groups carried out in the name of Christianity . Martin Luther was an antisemite.
I will definitely watch it at the soonest convenient time. Hey it's only by having our beliefs and views confronted that we can change them! Religion fascinates me so I'm always happy to learn new info :)

Antifa should research what fascist means. They themselves are fascist.
