Hitler the Christian
I remember doing a paper in high school about Hitler and Christianity. I did quite a bit of research at the school library, the main branch of the Jackson library and the library at Milsaps College. Hitler no doubt saw himself as a Christian, and this site list many items I remember from my research.
As a disclaimer, please let me point out that this is an extreme anti-Christian website. I don't endorse anything they say, but their list of associations between Hitler and the church is pretty much dead on as I remember.
My point is not at all to bash Christians (nor was that the point of my term paper). In that paper I was simply trying to explore one important aspect of Hitler's psyche. Here, my point is only that if you are going to tar Darwin with the sins of Hitler, surely you must also be willing to condemn the words of the bible which Hitler clearly used to justify his policies.

That's not what I'm doing.
Sorry, I didn't mean you specifically. In fact I wasn't speaking to anyone in particular. But this forum has seen more than a few religious wingnuts who equate Darwin's theory with naziism.
In looking back over the thread I see that my comments might have been out of place. Sorry about that. I'll pay more attention before I go spouting off next time.
