The National Socialists planned to exterminate the Jewish people.

โ€“A thread๐Ÿงต Image Some people argue that the Holocaust couldn't possibly have happened because there is simply no evidence that National Socialist leaders ever planned to mass murder European Jews. What they actually planned to do was deport them to a foreign land, like Madagascar. Furthermore, they argue, the historical evidence shows that Germans have always believed such an extermination would have been logistically impractical, and that, therefore, it couldn't have been carried out, even if they wanted to.
But is this true?Image

While the little brother syndrome used to make us smile, now it's just getting quite worrying. How sad must it be to be these people? They act like the little brother in constant need of attention, who cannot stand seeing his older brother get the limelight

The relationship between us and the Orthodox apologists is strikingly similar to a toxic relationship between two brothers, one older and more famous, the other younger and less known.

Was the Third Reich Christianity translated into politics?

Here's what the National Socialists had to say about it (using only sources of undisputed authenticity and that were not produced under torture)
-A thread๐Ÿงต Image In his autobiography, Hitler claims that the appearance of Christianity was "the first spiritual terror" that entered a "far freer" pagan ancient world (Mein Kampf, Manheim, Houghton Mifflin, Boston 1943, pp. 454-455). Image

Uses of natural theology in the Eastern Fathers.
โ€”A thread (1/16๐Ÿงต) Image St. Maximus claims that there are two Laws (a natural and a written Law) that complement each others. God inscribed Himself in nature, therefore, by observing the natural phenomena and reasoning on them, we can come to the conclusion that God is Our Creator (Ambiguum 10, 17-18)
