DEBATE: THERE ARE MANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN HITLER AND GOD

With so many points of comparison, why is one revered as an omnipotent and enduring example of perfection, and the other the architypal face of evil?





THERE ARE MANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN HITLER AND GOD


The merciless abolition of those who oppose


God condemns those who sin against him or simply don't believe in him to eternal torture, Hitler killed over three million non-jewish Poles who were supposed communists or political opposition.

The opposite statement is based on the classical theistic God. Not all believers in God believe in the God of classical theism. Jesus, whom orthodox Christians believe to be God, also forgave his enemies whilst on the cross.

THERE ARE MANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN HITLER AND GOD


The desire for control


Hitler attempted to erradicate Jews to create and control his perfect world, God punishes those who go against the ten commandments, which he sent to control our bahavior despite his supposed desire for our free-will

Hitler just killed jews- no questions asked. God may punish you for your sins but you will be absolved if you are repentant.And the commandments are there to save us from ourselves- and the same could be said for government law. Sacrificing personal freedom for the common good.

THERE ARE MANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN HITLER AND GOD


The cause of war


Hitler is hated as the initiator of the World War II by acting upon his beliefs about 'racial purity', members of islam worship suicide bombers as religious crusaders, both are fought against by western cultures

No religion advocates anything like racial genocide. Religions originate from many distinct cultures, hence their appropriation by racists as a means of justifying their own agendas, but not one of the world's major religions advocates the supremacy of one race of people over another. I fail to see how Islamic suicide bombers can be seen as representative of their religion when the Prophet Mohammed condemned suicide.

THERE ARE MANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN HITLER AND GOD


Hitler = man. God = God.


Hitler did not create mankind. God did.

Hitler did not send any of his family to die for those who hated/did not believe in him. God did.

Hitler did not love those who didn't like him. God does.

Hitler did not create the universe. God did.

Hitler did not create life. God did.

Hitler doesn't have the power to bless abundantly those who loved him. God does.

Hitler is dead. God is alive.



THERE ARE MANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN HITLER AND GOD


Hitler= nationalist/capitalist; God= love and share (communist)


Hitler believed in capitalism and the exploitation of others, such as Jews. God preached love and the greatness of sharing. This rings a bell with communist beliefs, such as that of common ownership of land and produce. Therefore he is closer to Stalin than Hitler.



THERE ARE MANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN HITLER AND GOD


Hitler existed, God did not


We know Hitler existed and is now dead. But we have no proof of God's existence.



THERE ARE MANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN HITLER AND GOD


God had love for all-Hitler was a cold blooded killer


God loved everyone and forgave all sinners. He believed in love for thy neighbour and did not condone violence. Hitler, on the other hand, caused the deaths of millions of innocent people for trivial reasons. He strongly believed in using violence to get what he wanted and did not accept any opinions except his own.
