Nietzschean criticism of Christianity only applies IF Christianity is not true. This is why his criticism or any criticism based on moral principles is weak. IF Christianity is true, no matter how slave-ish its morals are you will go to hell if you don't follow them. Criticism of Christianity should only be made around the question of whether Christianity is true.

What ‘different things’? Do you even know what the verb ‘to conserve’ means? It means to keep in place some set of values, to maintain them. What set of values those are is hardly relevant, since conservatism concerns the maintaining part, not what’s maintained. Do you seriously believe that anything that doesn’t fit your special snowflake values is not ‘true’ conservatism by default? Are you fucking retarded?

Convervatism in the West refers to a very specific set of things including keeping the traditional main religion which is Christianity. Conservative, that is, politically conservative, does not just refer to the vague notion of "to conserve." (are you retarded?). See: Conservatism is a political and social philosophy promoting traditional social institutions. The central tenets of conservatism may vary in relation to the traditional values or practices of the culture and civilization in which it appears. In Western culture, conservatives seek to preserve a range of institutions such as organized religion, parliamentary government, and property rights.[1] Adherents of conservatism often oppose modernism and seek a return to traditional values.[2][3]

It's simply not possible to both love a person, and desire that they had no freedom of choice. God loves each person more than any other can love them, and God desires that each person has freedom of choice. If you understand, you would see you really wish to sin by constraining everyone's will, contrary to the desires of God. What is contrary to God is no doubt of sin, and it is not surprising that the devil tempted eve to eat, while God simply commanded not to. Commanding another is to forge a promise. To tempt another is to subvert their will. The end of temptation is the death of the will to the lower appetites, and sin.

They had the religious concept from Judaism to fall back on, dummy. That would’ve resolved their death anxiety just fine. They just didn’t because they believed that the religion that was supposed to represent those concepts had been corrupted, and no longer represented the will of God. They didn’t stop believing. If only they’d done that, we wouldn’t have had much of the religious violence we have today.

Obviously the death of Jesus was a big blow to his followers and his movement, so they had to explain away the overwhelming fact that the Messiah had been killed, yet no punishment had rained down from heaven. They did this in a few simple steps. First they borrowed the concept of the resurrection from Daniel, which opened the door to the idea that Jesus wasn’t actually dead. In the earliest reports on Jesus’ resurrection, we get eyewitness reports from Paul, but it’s also mentioned that they witnessed him in a spiritual form, not in a bodily form. Besides, many of these reports contradict each other, with the earliest gospel of Marc never mentioning any sighting of Jesus at all, which was added later on. In other words, these ‘eyewitness reports’ are very likely to have been visions, and not actual observations.

So basically, all we have is dubious reports, and post hoc rationalizations

Right-wing ethos is drawn to intelligibility and order, that means reason/spirit. A right-wing individual will always value God, knowledge and truth. None of these latter drove Nazism forward, but what I said above, falsity, mere opinions.

It does not matter that they saw him. Some others saw him and accused him of being demon-possessed. What it really makes the difference, back then and today, is the purity of heart and the humility to recognize the truth.

Boy, I sure hope this wasn’t filtered through an endless layer of historical and religious contexts. That would make it completely impossible to verify what they even meant by this in the first place

That does sound nice and I can kind of see it but with how much we know about environmental factors effecting our decisions "Purity of heart" doesn't really align with belief in Jesus christ, there can be people who end up not believing on god simply because of where they are born having a much lower chance of leading to that belief

You said the Nazis despised Christianity as if it was a crucial part of their ideology, which would therefore exclude them from being right wing according to the other guy (even though the main source of Nazi ideology referred to himself as a Christian). fuck off with this bullshit you know what you said. The truth is that the nazis as a whole didn't have a specific opinion on Christianity, although they were explicitly against atheism. They attacked Christians who resisted them and left alone or even encouraged Christians who supported them.

Yeah I mean I guess some Nazis may have been buddhist too, my greater point is that Nazi's used the idea of a christian monothiestic god in order to recruit people to their cause and used this divine God's will to justify their actions. I suppose a few germans may have been fucking around in the forest believing deer gods were real and that the whole nazi regime was silly but I don't really see how that's relevant

They didn’t, national socialism is explicitly built around the ideology of a racial hierarchy. Religious plays a secondary role in it, and is not as significant as the racial element. Otherwise, national socialism would’ve been a religious movement, but it wasn’t, it was a political one
