Since none of us knows each other, we take people's words for whether Curiosity is a Christian, whether donh is a Christian, whether RWP is a Christian; whether jec41 is a Christian, whether ol' furball is a Christian.

So why shouldn't we take Adolph Hitler's word for whether he is a Christian? Granted Mein Kampf was written to inflame the right sort of people, and granted Hitler was a monster of the greatest proportion. Granted Osama is a monster of the same ilk. But who can say that they do not believe if they say they do? A few here have the nerve to save John Paul II is not a Christian. These judgments are a disgrace to the human species. Judgments based on actions are not only fair but the only ones that can be defended without the "he says" "she says" crap.

Every time a Creationist tries to attach Nazi to Darwin they are going to get this and it is appropriate.

BTW I've read Mein Kampf and it was one of the most boring things I ever waded through. Darwin is boring too. Does that make him a Nazi?

To some it seems. I will defend myself anytime I am referred to as a Darwinist, Atheist or Nazi by one that still thinks themselves a clone. I am rereading Darwin now after 46 years and yea, he is boring.

So what we've established, I believe, is that Hitler perverted Christianity to suit his own ends.

Interesting that.

Could he have done the same thing with the Theory of Evolution?

... NAH.

Because he said one thing in public and another in private. Several independent sources attest to the peculiarity of his beliefs and his private disdain for traditional Christianity.

No it isn't, because you're distorting the truth, and that's never appropriate. You don't win an argument against a troll by descending to his level.

If you want BORING, try Daniel Defoe's A Journal of The Plague Years.

Talk about your survival of the fittest...
