The Ten Commandments are a code of living to which there's no refutation. These precepts correspond to irrefragable needs of the human soul; they're inspired by the best religious spirit, and the Churches here support themselves on a solid foundation.

Stevens, (3rd ed.) place: New York, publisher: Engima Books, ISBN: 9781929631056, LCCN: 00269119 The original German notebooks, which are the primary source for these quotations, are filtered through Martin Bormann, who was anti-Christian. It has been argued that some statements regarding Hitler's views of Christianity have not have been translated faithfully from the original German, and alternative versions have been put forward by Richard Carrier and Reinhold Mittschang. (See Carrier, R. C. (2003), "'Hitler's Table Talk': Troubling Finds", German Studies Review 26 no: 3, month: October, page: 566, ISSN: 0149-7952) Citing alleged discrepancies, mistranslations, and distortions by Franqois Genoud (pp. 568, 574) in the Trevor-Roper edition, Carrier maintains that English edition is therefore "worthless." Carrier's alternative translations are noted in the text.)
