Hitler's own words: "The religions are all alike, no matter what they call themselves. They have no future - certainly none for the Germans. Fascism, if it likes, may come to terms with the Church. So shall I. Why not? That will not prevent me from tearing up Christianity root and branch, and annihilating it in Germany.... A German Church, a German Christianity, is distortion. One is either a German or a Christian. You cannot be both...." Or from Professor Hauer, one of the three leaders of the German Faith Movement of the 30's and 40's: "We confess the primal religious will of the German people. Through this leadership we believe we can find the road to salvation (Heil) for ourselves and our people. ...The struggle between Christianity and the German faith in the German soul is thus an event of unexpected depth." And among the officially announced objectives of the GFM was: "Therefore necessarily the German Faith Movement denies Christianity. It rejects Christianity in every shape or form, because its fundamental principles contradict the laws of life of people and race, and are alien to what is intrinsically German." Yiri doesn't like it, and won't accept it. -- The Ice Floe of Larry Bickford {amd,decwrl,sun,idi,ittvax}!qubix!lab You can't settle the issue until you've settled how to settle the issue.
