That's like saying that because Hugo Chavez praises democracy at times, he must be a democrat. By that line of of reasoning ID people say they are not anti-science, so they must not be anti-science.

To say that Hitler was Christian is just misleading as saying that he was an atheist.

Hitler talked about God, sure. But his belief in God was subservient to his belief in "the Volk." This "Positive Christianity" accordingly excluded all beliefs that did not glorify the Volk. It was therefore a man, not God centered system of belief, but it certainly wasn't atheistic.

Hitler despised traditional Christianity, and as has been noted on this thread, said as much. As for "Positive Chrisitianity" I think this is a pretty good good summary of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_Christianity

Not my hobby-horse. My comments were strictly about the sucker-punch to jes41. The argument might as well have been about manhole covers, for all I care.
