76. What God did: slaughters all men, women, children, fetuses, that are not God's chosen

In systematic genocide of whole towns.

Did Hitler learn from God? In fact, we are told that Hitler was a Catholic altar boy. He grew up in Austria, then matured in Bavaria: where the Catholic Church taught that "The Jews Killed Jesus." As dramatized by the Passion Plays, like the one in Oberammergau. German churches also taught "replacement theology": the idea that Old Testament Jewish religion was bad, materialistic; and was "replaced" or cancelled by the more spiritual New Testament.

Was the Church in part the source of Hitler's ideas? It's easy to find plenty of anti-Semitic sermons in German churches in the time of Hitler's childhood and young maturity. Particularly in the Catholic, southern part of Germany where Hitler got his start (Munchen, etc.). Finally there were so many, that we would have to account Christian anti-Semitism, anti Old Testament sentiments, as almost certainly a major source and power base, for Hitler's anti-Semitism.
