Because Hitler, as most politicians do, probably voiced what he hoped could gain traction in the populace while not holding those views himself, we probably don’t know exactly what he thought by what he said in public.

Suffice it to say that Jesus did not preach Genocide, and Darwin alluded to it while dismissing it as morally beneath civilized society.

....Because.....probably......what he hoped......while not holding those views himself, ...we probably don't know exactly.....Let us examine the exactitude of your assertions. I will say, you are consistent with the darwinists. If darwinists are right that morality has a natural source, then morality is not objective or absolute. For if there is no God and humans have evolved from the slime, then we have no higher moral status than slime because there is nothing beyond us to instill us with objective morality or dignity.

These implications have not been lost on darwinists and their followers. In fact, Adolph Hiltler used Darwins' theory as a philosophical justification for the Holocause. In his 1924 book, "Mein Kampf" (My Struggle) he wrote:

'If nature does not wish that weaker individuals should mate with the stronger, she wishes even less that a superior race should intermingle with an inferior one; because in such cases all her efforts, throughout hundreds of thousands of years, to establish an evolutionary higher stage of being, may thus be rendered futile.

But such a preservation goes hand-in-hand with the inexorable law that is the strongest and the best who must triumph and that they have the right to endure. He who would live must fight. He who does not wish to fight in this world, where permanent struggle is the law of life, has not the right to exist. '

Hitler, like other darwinists, personifies nature by attributing will to it. ("nature does not wish"). This is the thought process which brought about the destruction of millions of innocents. Darwinism, as an idea, has consequences, far beyond Darwins' questionable hypothesis. Hitlers' was your logical consequence to the 'working-out' of darwinist world view as applied to his nation and the world.

Now, whatever you might believe, you do not beleive what you wrote regarding Hitler thinking he was following the teachings of Jesus to its logical conclusions. I have offered to you Hitlers own words, and we know these words match nicely with what happened in the Rhineland under Hitlers' rule.

Absolute BS. Neither Jesus nor Darwin supported the concept of genocide, regardless of what Hitler or you might think.
