People are not good or evil. The path that they are on is good or evil, and Hitler was on an evil path.

The three lower worlds are the evil paths.

Okay, vast majority of people consider Hitler an extremally evil person.

I don't think Hitler was evil, I think he had reasons for what he did. I don't believe in evil.

The act of allowing Innocent people to be killed is evil and he did not stop what was going on under his command. That evil karma is his evil karma.

But don`t you think that people like Hitler should be opposed?

If you are asking me; the answer is YES

Of cause they should but to the question is Hitler Evil no he isn't, as the one above said his path was evil but he had some pretty messed up childhood to.

Hitler had a gift. At some point in his life he made a choice to follow an evil path. If he had not followed that path, he may have been a great leader of his people. As it is, he destroyed his people.

I am asking Boots, I don`t doubt that almost all people on this forum would believe so.

I hate questions like this.

Any really intelligent answer must prefix the "there is no real good or evil", which then seems to legitimize the actions of evil men, simply because there is no universal standard to hold them to.

However, since Hitler did break pretty much every moral code on the planet, with the exception of the one that says "anything Hitler does is right", I have no problem calling him pure and unadulterated evil.

Originally posted by Boots

Yes. He started the war.

Germany was in need of a savior and he built up their confidence and pride. He told them "Be proud", only thing was he took it too far.

He was brilliant, and cruel, those two things must walk hand in hand for a leader to be a good one, he had to make an example out of someone so why not who he thought was the reason germany had fallen so low, then he would support who he thought was the righteous, this has all to do with his past, if you look at any great ruler in time and see how they ran their empire you will see that many if not all made great examples and sacrifices, the difference is we cannot see the brilliance because he is a suicide who had quite a bit to do with the deaths of millions, if you are biased against a man for his ideals it says alot about you, though i would not support the killing of so many people, i do think he was a brilliant tactician, and that if his past had been different so would have the rest of his life.

not again *nervous laugh*

Hitler was evil.


I don't care if you thnk evil does not exist. Hitler fits every definition and qualification of the term evil. In most cultures, that is what he would be considered.



He was cruel, hateful, sadistic, and malicious...if that is not evil, then nothing is.



Boots, you are an idiot troll...go away.

I don't use the word evil so I would say no.

Each and every person is both good and evil. So, are you telling me that Hitler did not have a good side?

He loved his mother....that's about it.



His evil outways his good. I know I have both good and evil within me...I am kind, compassionate, sensitive, generous, etc....but I can also be cruel, inconsiderate, wrathful, jealous, judgemental etc.


The difference is I do not allow that negativity to take over. I care more for others than I do myself, which is why I swallow my pride (among other things) and let it go.


Hitler just had to have his revenge and force his ideals upon others. He was either evil or psychotic.

He had syphilis I believe. Syphilis affects the brain and thinking.

You are correct "Hitler just had to have his revenge". That is way I say the Hitler was on an evil path. Do you understand the difference?

Yes, but I still deem him an evil person. The evil consumed him. It's not as if he made a horrible mistake, and then stopped. He continously enacted his reign, torture, and murder upon millions. He had no plan to stop.


He was cruel, sadistic, and hateful.


Do you know of a woman named Elizabeth Bathory ? If not, then look her up. Look up what she did....tell me she is not evil.


People who are over all good do not take evil paths. They may wander...they may even walk the path for a while, but they do not continue walking for long.


I am a beleiver that we are all born neutral. A good person can become evil, and vise versa. I am not saying that an evil person is evil by nature or cannot change. But sometimes a person's evil is so powerful, they do not have the strength or even motivation to over come it.


Hitler, like Elizabeth Bathory, is one of these people.

I believe that a person's Karma or path is good or evil. You are a good person because of the good Karma you were born with. Hitler was born with evil Karma.

We agree more then we disagree, however, inside of every person is the world of Buddhahood. I truly believe that Buddhahood is NOT evil. So, for me to say that Hitler was evil is to say that his Buddhahood was evil. The problem with this is that all Buddhahood nature is the same nature. So, if Hitler's Buddhahood nature was evil, then so are yours, and mine and I know that is not true.

Although it's enviroment that shapes people's actions, reactions, and outlooks, there is evidense that supports the possibility that some people are born with sadistic/cruel tendencies.

Scientists took a look into the mind of a serial killer and have found that the part of thier brain which promotes hesitation, worry, and fear of consequence does not work. This would explain how and why male and female serial killers can kill with ease, while the rest of us would hesitate before committing such acts.

It is possible that karma may have to do with this, but it is not yet proven.


On that note, I do not think that it is simply actions that make a person good or bad. If you generally hate people or hold ill thoughts of other people, but do not act upon them, you are still a bad person.

The feelings of compassion, sensitivity, and empathy that I have for other people far surpass my actions. I still consider myself a good person, because I do care.

Hitler did not care for the suffering of his victims, in fact, he enforced it. That is evil.

Hitler has no access to his Buddhahood, and according to the theory of the Ten Worlds, not everyone reaches thier potential Buddhahood.

His actions, intent, and psychology were evil. Therefore he was evil. Even if he never comitted the Holocaust or his horrid actions, he still had the thoughts and intents of cruelty within him. He savored them.

He was an evil person.


Did you look up Elizabeth Bathory ? Look her up, she what she did, and tell me she was not evil...or atleast insane.

Goddess Kali: I don't disagree with you; I just don't go as far as you do. I think that Hitler's actions (evil path) are what kept Hitler from his Buddhahood.

You have again taken it further then I would.

Insanity in many instances is living in a deluded reality of ones self and surroundings and could cause paranoia which makes one quite a bit different....Though it could also be a chemical imbalance or disease. I'm not sure Karma works like that, but I'm not an expert of Karma.

If Karma in ones last life was what? What would cause a person to be diseased in the next life?

I believe Karma merely decides your station in the next life. Only your actions in life could lead to being infected by a disease.

Though to be born insane in this life would serve no learning purpose because there is no grip on reality to learn from. Am I missing something?

Oh, I don't consider insanity to be a disease.

Why would Karma cause insanity? I have no idea. Possibly it could be seen as the ultimate punishment as it would seem to prevent the actions needed to advance. Alternately it could be said that people judged to be insane are in fact much closer to nirvana than anyone else.

Being that he killed alot of people and thought he was better then anyone else.Yea I think he was pretty evil.Read his life story "Hitler's dairy" pretty interesting stuff.
Use to be an alter boy when he was a boy and hated the jews because jesus is a jew.Jm

insanity isn't a disease, its a mental state of being but syphilis is a disease and he did have it, it affects the mind that doubled with influences he had while growing is what brought what happened around, thats the only reason D-day even succeeded, had he not had syphilis things probably would have come out much differently, and we might not have had to have a D-day ever happen then.

One only has to look at footage of the people who were tortured during the holocaust to see evil.No human being should ever have to suffer like those who did during the holocaust.However,if Hitler would have lived around 272 CE,he probably would be considered a saint today by the Christian church.A very sicking thought to consider.

There are some supports still out today of Hitler,On the news is heard that this guy made up a whole store in support of Hitler made of nazi gingerman and some pictures and so on.He is a skin head no doubt and how he was allowed to put something like that up is beyond me!
Why are you however saying that the christens would support him if he live during that time?jm

Because Hitler belived he was in the service of God.Early Christianity has a violent history and it's first emperor was Constatine who was born around that time.Here's a piece of a post I made on the religion forum.You can read more about this in 'The Dark Side Of Christian History' by Helen Ellerbe.


Take the words of Raymond of Aguilers into consideration.Writing of a band of crusaders who deystroyed Muslims and Jews in Jerusalem in the year 1099:

Wonderul things were to be seen.Numbers of the Saracens were beheaded.Others were shot with arrow,or forced to jump from the towers;Others were tortured for several days,then burned with flames.In the streets were seen piles of heads and hands and feet.One rode about everywhere amid the corpses of men and horses.In the temple of Solomon,the horses waded in the blood up to their knees,nay,up to the bridle.It was a just and marvelous judgement of God,that this place should be filled with the blood on unbelievers.


Seeing as how Hitler thought of himself as a man of God,and looking at his gruesome legacy,it becomes pretty apparent in the more primitive days of the church he probably would have been considerd one of Gods warriors.

I don't see no matter what it is always the christens fault.That is abit unfair.Why can't it ever be the Muslims or whatever.Everything is always dump on the christens becaues of people who are judgemental.Blame someone else and they get flamed or insulted.I guess christens today are just a bunch of meat that people can just eat anytime they want or make fun of.That is just nice.jm

Here's a whole post I made about religious intolerance.I don't soley place all the worlds woes upon the Christians.

Thats when religion can get violent and scary.That very same kind of unswaying alligiance is why fundamentalist Christians persecuted many Muslims in the Crusades.Why the Pagans sought to kill out early Christians for their 'evil' belifes.Why Christians then administered gruesome tortures onto the Pagans once they came into power.Why fundamentalist Muslims crashed two plains into the world trade center on 9/11.

Now i'm in no way trying to put down your belief in Christ.I'm not trying to say all Christians are going to commit mass suicide or that all muslims are crazy martyrs.But when any system of belief claims their god,or whatever it is they worship,is supreme and above all other religious systems,that's when the world gets ugly and thats what causes intolerance in religion.

So you asked us if we can handle the truth.Well,the truth is very many different things to very many different people.No two people will answer this question exactly the same and that's a good thing.We don't need mindless zombies all conforming to one belife system.We need diversity in religion,and tolerance for the beliefs of others.So now I will ask you this.

Hitler was likely a textbook sociopath with a nice mix of paranoia and narcissism.

However, it may be important to remember that stress is a common cause to many psychological problems. Hitler, having the stress of ruling a nation and fighting in WW2, could have come of his disorders after having instituted many of the evil plans.

There is also the fact that anti-semitism was rampant in Europe at these times, and very likely if Hitler himself had not come to power, someone else who had similar anti-jew ideologies could have come in instead.

While it is nice to try and pass off the evil of Hitler's acts to psychological insanity, the fact remains that Hitler is likely more a product of hundreds of years of Jewish conspiracy theory and massive economic depression in Germany.

i agree with that, but he also had syphilis which can and will affect the brain, though if he hadn't had it I'm sure he still would have done all the things he had done, but if he didn't have it he probably would have stopped D-day from happening, but yes his past as well as the present just brought his sociopathic "outburst" to happen, and this sparked a war that with the aid of syphilis would cause him to lose... but no i do not think he was evil, i think he was a sociopath with syphilis, as that is what he was.
